If you are moving while rotating the camera then your move gets locked to where you were pointing, making it very hard to get around fast. You seem to have to move , turn the camera, then move some more.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"leary93","author_uid":"1073330","time":"2019-04-29T11:39:35Z","epoch":1556537975,"modified":1556537975,"text":"The controls feel extremely clunky (due to the coin mechanic I guess), but it's graphically nice and very innovative, so that's definitely a plus :D","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"shp","author_uid":"1083802","time":"2019-04-29T12:50:08Z","epoch":1556542208,"modified":1556542208,"text":"The camera wobbling around as you move is quite nauseating, but I like the concept and the visuals on display","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Florian Thurner","author_uid":1144198,"time":"2019-04-29T14:12:04Z","epoch":1556547124,"modified":1556547124,"text":"The controls were a bit hard to get used to, but I eventually got a hang of it.

At first I didn't realize the hand would only catch you if you were on the ground, so I tried to hurry to the exit. Music is a bit repetitive and little nit pick, but there doesn't seem to be a way to close the game. I enjoyed the different levels and the hand feels really creepy, good work!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"BadRAM","author_uid":"1002388","time":"2019-04-29T22:12:45Z","epoch":1556575965,"modified":1556575965,"text":"It would be funny if the number of coins in the starting pile went down each level, until the last level is the last coin escaping. then the win screen could have HIM sulking in a corner, penniless. I think the controls could be improved to allow high skill edge rolling shenanigans, but you did a good job given the timeframe. great work!

I think a way to improve it would be to change the boost from a jump forward to making the coin jump on its side and to start rolling.
