Could use a little more information on death, I was a bit confused the first time I died. The challenge is fun though and I managed to complete it!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Controls wise make looking based on the right analogue stick. Was a bit awkward controlling all with the left stick. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Couple of tips for unity (not affected the rating at all):\r<br\/>The .pbd files unity makes on build are not necessary to play the game. They are rather sizeable debug files that can be left out. All you need is the .exe and data file. Removing them will make your download a tenth of the size.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>When making a UI, there is an element in the Canvas called a canvas scaler, if you switch it to scale with screen size, it will scale with resolution. Rather than leave all elements the same size which allows people on higher resolutions to be able to see behind the menus."},{"author_name":"siryakko","author_uid":"49920","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 12:48pm","epoch":1461069780,"text":"@Kinth Wow thanks for the tips, i've noted it and will work on it as soon as possible.
