I liked it. Glad to see Stencyl got some use in the compo, I've been thinking of using it.

I love games where you can see the whole level, I'd play a bigger longer expanded version of this game.

Nice idea, simple puzzle gameplay. Theme could have been more prominent, I didn't see much in terms of "tiny world". Music was... overdramatic? Oh well. It was fun to play, regardless.

Fun game! The music was nice and calm and the whole game was well put together. It might have been good to have checkpoints or some shorter levels, as it was a bit annoying if I died after playing for a long time.

Overall, really solid and fun entry. Great job! :)

Very, very cool. Especially for a first attempt.

calming music and well designed stages, very brutal on difficulty though, the stages are so large they could have used checkpoints. It's a bit repeative though and there could have been more obstacles besides cannons, but it's pretty well done game.

Checkpoints would've made this a lot funner :) Having to go back to the start became to be a bit of a pain, I died quite a lot :p Nice game though! When you just spawn, you're invincible for a second ago... I used to it to jump on the spikes, because hey, I can >:]

Simple and easy to grasp

Some sound effects would've been really nice, just some quick ones using BFXR/SFXR would've been good :D

I agree on the fact that it don't fits really well in the theme but still a cool game to play, nice work !

Nice, nothing ground breaking, but fits the theme very good.
Good one!

Very enjoyable puzzle platformer, nice crisp controls, clean graphics, good choice of colours and difficulty curve. The music is sublime and sets a really good ambience, all in all a great entry and it'd be great to see more

A very nice first attempt. Definitely a high difficulty factor, but that added to the fun for me.

A bit difficult for me, but overall a great game!

Loved it! It was a bit too hard (a smoother curve would be greatly appreciated) but I liked it. The connection with the theme was rather weak and the music was perhaps too dark for the game. Anyway, this one is definitely a cool entry and would love to see this game expanded to have more levels and obstacles!

Really fun game.. I personally love hardcore platformers, I really enjoyed the puzzle elements also. I only encountered a bug when you get under a closing door. I think it got into an infinite loop.. Other then that I really liked it! good job.
