The ending was a bit unexpected, but then again I guess it allows for expanding upon it later, so it was probably a good call leaving it like that and not going for an abrupt nonsensical ending just for the sake of having one. Good job! I love the pixelated graphics and the consistent look of the game. Controls could've been a bit tighter, specially in the second level (got a bit frustrated there), but it was a generally good experience overall :D"},{"author_name":"Qaterknan","author_uid":"11181","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 9:45am","epoch":1335260400,"text":"I like the way you concived the theme and I also like the raging storm outside. On the other hand, physics of boxes is not always very realistic, which can cause a funny situations for me as a judge, but not for me as a player."},{"author_name":"shieldofvalour","author_uid":"12979","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 10:33am","epoch":1335263280,"text":"I fell off the map when it turns sideways.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>But I was really taken in by the atmosphere created by the storm, the text and the accompanying metaphors in the levels.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Was fearing a 'shock' horror game when I opened the first door.

I was really enjoying the game too!  I did decide to go back and try that room again and I'm glad I made it through... though I almost fell through the floor a second time.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I really enjoy the text treatment you've got here, and the way it fades in and out as you travel.  It's very evocative of the mood.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>As far as criticisms go, I think that Unity's ice physics make the crates feel a little too &quot;slidey&quot;."},{"author_name":"Codexus","author_uid":"187","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 11:34pm","epoch":1335569340,"text":"Nice atmosphere!
