Great graphics and animations, and the controls work well (although the jumping felt slightly awkward for reasons that I can't put my finger on). I really like the way you set up the tutorial. Introducing the mechanics gradually and putting some interesting variations and combinations later on. Really the only thing missing is more levels because I would really like to play more of this! I don't really see how the \"running out of\" part of the theme comes in here, but that's just for the theme adherence. The game itself is great.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Triastase","author_uid":"1009566","time":"2017-08-01T15:41:56Z","epoch":1501602116,"modified":1501602116,"text":"This is great! Especially that you made a tutorial level instead of hoping that everyone would understand everything on their own.\n\nI like the graphics and the mechanics are cool, too. The jumping is kind of weird on edges, which results in a feeling of unfairness, when you fall down because of that. But that's no problem, because then you are just reset not far away. All in all: Good! :) ","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"simonhutchinson","author_uid":"1002685","time":"2017-08-01T16:29:44Z","epoch":1501604984,"modified":1501604984,"text":"Nice!

The jumping is definitely a bit buggy on the edges, and this leads to the platforming feeling a bit awkward and unsatisfying.
