Getting all symbols, on the other\rhand, wasn't really rewarding. But I liked that the game was\rstraight forward, with not too much confusion and waiting.\r\rIt's true, the controls are glitchy and too slippery. Double\rjumping appeared to deliberately troll me when I was just\rabout to reach something important.\r\rSome walking animations would have been nice, and easy for\ryou to make. It's also not real retro pixel art style because\rthe player floats between pixels. This isn't necessarily bad,\rthough. Overall it looks okay."},{"author_name":"Stargoat","author_uid":"8618","time":"Dec 21, 2011 @ 12:55pm","epoch":1324471800,"text":"http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/8626299\/clipped.png\r\rI jumped out of the level geometry :(\r\rI liked the graphics, but the jumping is very annoying and imprecise, despite the tight requirements of some jumps.

I'm glad people are enjoying the game despite the flaws.\r\rEnding: Yes, I ran out of time for a proper ending. You win the game when you collect all three shards and the optional kitten. \r\rControls: Double jump doesn't work as well as it should and I should have made the controls tighter. I wish I could update the controls but that wouldn't be in the spirit of the competition.\r\r@bitbof: I didn't even think of double jumping on the mountain but I'm glad you got a sense of achievement out of it."},{"author_name":"whilefun","author_uid":"7424","time":"Dec 27, 2011 @ 4:27pm","epoch":1325002920,"text":"pretty cool game. I like the graphics a lot. I was able to get stuck inside the top mountain bit of the cave and had to restart :( My only nitpick is that more sound effects or ambient sounds would have made the game way more enjoyable. Well done :)"},{"author_name":"lorancou","author_uid":"8588","time":"Dec 27, 2011 @ 5:40pm","epoch":1325007300,"text":"Got stuck in a hole as well, after I found a red cap.
