The theme explanation felt like an excuse to fit the game after making what you wanted to.\r\rGraphics: Things resembled what they were meant to be, which is good. I'm not sure if I quite liked the cursor sprite or the wall sprite, which didn't fit in with the rest of the art style.\r\rAudio: The music was 8 looping measures, which could definitely be expanded into something worthwhile. The sounds themselves were okay, but a little uninteresting.\r\rFun: I was a bit irritated by the level design, mostly because the rooms just seemed to cut off right at the borders, which looked a little odd. The level design also did some weird things that ended in awkward maneuvers to shoot at enemies. The boss' hitbox is, well, a box, and you can get hurt while walljumping on the above platforms. Also, you never explained that you can walljump.\r\rOverall: I don't want to be rude, but this game needs work in all departments before I consider it worthwhile. I can see the effort, but I don't know just how well it turned out in the end. Maybe use this advice to make a better game next Ludum Dare, or practice on your own time! You can only improve from here."},{"author_name":"kavs","author_uid":"5586","time":"Aug 25, 2011 @ 7:36pm","epoch":1314300660,"text":"I won with 830 and took about 10 minutes.\r\rI found the walljump to be a bit too hard to use with a keyboard.

I like the multi-screen mechanism, but found the controls and some of the level design to be a bit infuriating (took me ages to realise you can double-jump, and I couldn't get it to work every time!). Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the boss, but I kept playing for a good while to try and get there."},{"author_name":"Codexus","author_uid":"187","time":"Aug 27, 2011 @ 7:45am","epoch":1314430800,"text":"Nice little game, the wall jumping could use some improvement."},{"author_name":"KavuDX","author_uid":"1932","time":"Aug 27, 2011 @ 8:14pm","epoch":1314475740,"text":"Although the game didn't exactly fit the theme, the graphics were pretty bland, the music, albeit cool, got annoying after a couple minutes, and having nothing really new or innovative, I really enjoyed the game, even more after I discovered I could wall jump."},{"author_name":"KevinWorkman","author_uid":"5364","time":"Aug 27, 2011 @ 8:52pm","epoch":1314478020,"text":"I liked this game!

I just couldn't master the wall-jumping (mouse or keyboard), so I never got past the lava room. Most of the jumps are extremely unforgiving -- very little room for error. Also, didn't like rooms where I simply couldn't go back (falling from the ceiling for example).

It doesn't have much to do with the theme, but it's a fun little platformer.
