The concept was simple and approachable and it was sufficiently challenging (and achievable) that it held my attention for good while.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I did get bitten by the spawn-in-the-corner bug a few times. I'm glad you gave me infinite tries so the bug wasn't that big of a deal. It was also frustrating to get stuck when I felt like I should be able to just slide by a block.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>From a theme perspective: I felt like this game complied with the theme really only in its color-text. Otherwise, there really wasn't anything about it that was convincing me that this world was tiny.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>All of that said, it's a fun game and something to be proud of! Thanks!"},{"author_name":"Bleck","author_uid":"418","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 3:52am","epoch":1335239220,"text":"I couldn't actually play this game because pressing down to scroll move down also scrolled my browser window down.

After that the game became too easy though! I could use my infinite stock of bombs to kill all enemies off, and the element of strategy got lost a bit. Maybe limiting the amount of bombs per level could have helped. Pretty good!"},{"author_name":"Jigxor","author_uid":"3289","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 2:16am","epoch":1335406260,"text":"Great game! I had a lot of fun with it. I liked the nice short levels and there was a lot of variation in level design. Some sound effects would have been a good addition. I thought that the music was good.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, great game! :)"},{"author_name":"jeffz","author_uid":"4842","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 11:28pm","epoch":1335482580,"text":"played a dozen levels or so, a bit too easy I think, but otherwise good"},{"author_name":"matthias_zarzecki","author_uid":"3880","time":"Apr 29, 2012 @ 8:15am","epoch":1335687000,"text":"Interesting little platformer.
