However, I didn't find the eye closing thing very necessary to use either. Maybe if they hurt you when you hit them it would be a bit better, It'd be more important to close your eyes often then. Nice game overall though :)"},{"author_name":"Trancelucid","author_uid":"5067","time":"Aug 25, 2011 @ 8:24am","epoch":1314260340,"text":"Nice concept. Unfortunately the game mechanics are not polished enough to make it effective.\r\rI also thought the monsters would kill me with my eyes open, and was disappointed to find out they only block me and don't eat me alive. You know, like the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal. :)"},{"author_name":"pdyxs","author_uid":"2440","time":"Aug 26, 2011 @ 1:36am","epoch":1314322260,"text":"Awesome concept, i loved how eyes closed and opened both had their advantages and drawbacks.\r\rMaybe it's just my crappy platforming skills, but i fell down a lot... might be good to look at tightening up the controls a bit?\rAlso, there were a few times when the level design made it so i had to take a blind leap. to find the next ledge."},{"author_name":"qrunchmonkey","author_uid":"3947","time":"Aug 26, 2011 @ 2:50am","epoch":1314326700,"text":"Awesome concept and great music."},{"author_name":"mikolalysenko","author_uid":"5670","time":"Aug 27, 2011 @ 3:28am","epoch":1314415380,"text":"Good graphics and controls, but it was way too short."},{"author_name":"Klare","author_uid":"2040","time":"Aug 27, 2011 @ 9:30pm","epoch":1314480300,"text":"Very cool concept."},{"author_name":"Mjiig","author_uid":"5877","time":"Aug 30, 2011 @ 10:47am","epoch":1314700920,"text":"I think this game would be a lot more enjoyable if the enemies killed you, and if there were a few more of them.
