A 64-bit Python 2.7.1 could not run the game, however a 32-bit had no issues.\r\rI really liked the mechanics with the bottles - having a large array of combinations could offer a very deep puzzle concept (varying colour combinations as solutions for the same problem).\rMaybe the jump mechanics were just off (not a problem), but I got the feeling that you were trying something interesting with how the jumps worked as well. I did get "stuck" mid-jump at times, though, so I'd only start dropping down instead of moving left or right. Minor details.\r\rThe real two issues was the lack of a recent checkpoint or restart function. I messed up the purple colour combination and was forced to restart the game :-\/ The other point was the control scheme. Space for activating items, enter for activating bottle (to the left of the control keys) and numpad 1\/2 on the right makes it exceedingly difficult to get intuitively into the game. I'd suggest you put all functional keys to one side of the directional keys for best effect :)\r\rAll-in-all, however, I'd love to see this concept move forwards. There's definitely some sort of precious mineral hidden in this thing."},{"author_name":"Sempai","author_uid":"3791","time":"May 4, 2011 @ 11:51am","epoch":1304509560,"text":"Thanks TellusE for the comments.\rJourney's BloboyJourney's Bloboy will have a life post-LD.\rYour comments boosted me.
