Clicking the Restart level at the top-left corner. I think to upgrade the game after the comp, making easy to restart is on the list."},{"author_name":"MacTuitui","author_uid":"5189","time":"Aug 27, 2011 @ 5:15am","epoch":1314421800,"text":"Nice graphics, the controls feel a little bit weird by moments (you can jump in the air after stepping on a red block, I'm not sure if that's wanted of not), and most of all the perspective makes it very difficult to tell if the next piece is below you or just further away on the same level. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyways a simple idea nicely implemented (and I really like the robot model!), I'm not seeing a lot of potential right now, but maybe with a bit of polish, who knows.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Keep the good work!"},{"author_name":"Shigor","author_uid":"5242","time":"Aug 28, 2011 @ 4:48pm","epoch":1314549780,"text":"Thanks to the 3d perspective it can be extremely hard to guess where are you going to end. I've played few levels (good progression of the difficulty), but having to do a lot of attempts to find possible way and jumping in confusing 3d became too frustrating. \r<br\/>Good for your first attempt, maybe next time you'll do better.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>BTW for some reason web version hangs my browser (Chrome), all other Unity based games I've tried worked without problems."},{"author_name":"dogbomb","author_uid":"4138","time":"Aug 28, 2011 @ 10:22pm","epoch":1314569820,"text":"Really struggled to gauge my landings due to the angle of perspective. A more defined landing shadow would have helped quite a bit here. Easy restart would have helped a lot to ease frustration too. Otherwise a strong entry into the compo - good luck!"},{"author_name":"siebharinn","author_uid":"1450","time":"Sep 4, 2011 @ 2:55am","epoch":1315104600,"text":"Graphics were very nice.

BUT, I'm proud of this game as the first one i made myself and found it buggy but fun, I Hope you will enjoy it and have fun ! \r\nNote : I tried to make a progression on difficulty but the 3rd one is quite difficult but doable really quickly if you are good at Jumping.<\/p>","title":"Esc. the Robot"}
