I didn't quite see the whole point of the gun (recoil didn't seem to help too much, maybe you were going to add enemies but didn't have enough time, which I understand given the rest) but I found great fun in shooting the lava wall when I knew my time had come. The random platform generation was quite well-done, although situations would arise that were literally impossible to pass. I loved the fact that you ran at full speed when crounching and everything, I mostly played crouched down in mid-air like some sort of hindu god, which again was quite humorous. The occasional write-ins that would appear the bottom were quite whimsical, as well. All-in-all, a quite funny game with some points unintentionally so. Good show."},{"author_name":"Radiatoryang","author_uid":"4369","time":"Aug 22, 2011 @ 9:57pm","epoch":1314049920,"text":"There should be some penalty for holding down Shift all the time... still, decent level gen and I like the gun shooting as jumping boost thingy.
