A few notes:\n\nHaving to redo the \"tutorial\" is a bit boring, but the secret ending promise was intriguing enough for me to keep going.\n\nWhile you can wait out buying the 'save', you cannot wait out buying one of the two initial upgrades, that is a bit confusing.\n\nI also tried to do 90 degree jumps, which are not possible. That's on me, I guess :)\n\nI especially enjoy the mood of the game, combined with the soundtrack.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Youpeoples","author_uid":"1147805","time":"2019-04-29T15:07:27Z","epoch":1556550447,"modified":1556550447,"text":"There are actually two ways of avoid buying the two initial upgrades.

The idea to let player exploit the game instructions (The one with save and the two with upgrades) - that's so damn fun. :smiley: \n\nGame is pretty enjoyable, but sometimes it's pretty hard to dodge those arrows.\n\nOne little thing - after reaching \"Secret True Ending\" game hangs and I have to quit it using the window, I'd be nice if one could still interact or something.\n\nGreat job!
