After a while I figured out I can place blocks under me as I jump and that made the game even more fun. One problem I had is that I often accidentally used up rocket fuel because I jumped right as I fell of a block. I think this also has to do with how you slide over the floor a bit. I really like how the \"music\" is made up of the enemies sound effects. Good job!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"PBG","author_uid":1039516,"time":"2019-04-30T13:13:13Z","epoch":1556629993,"modified":1556629993,"text":"Nice! Hard to control on a keyboard.

You didn't really describe how to play the game though. Move using the arrow keys, jump using z and place\/remove using x. I did find that the controls aren't great on a keyboard. The player also falls very quickly (gravity), making it quite difficult.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"olsonmabob","author_uid":1113575,"time":"2019-05-01T17:46:12Z","epoch":1556732772,"modified":1556732772,"text":"Just as expected you did a wonderful job, Zep!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"SpeedFrame","author_uid":1120534,"time":"2019-05-02T08:38:27Z","epoch":1556786307,"modified":1556786307,"text":"Such a fun game! Checkpoints might've been nice though. I assume levels are random? Because at some points it felt almost impossible without using like 20 blocks. Btw the jetpack was super fun to use, you can build up some serious speed with it.
