IMO it would have worked better if the music speed percent was equal to the percent power left\n\n- there are so many pickups in the level that avoiding all of the bad ones is impossible, which feels like an unfair punishment for moving quickly","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Willbl3pic","author_uid":"1009947","time":"2017-08-05T18:44:29Z","epoch":1501958669,"modified":1501968373,"text":"@crass-sandwich Thanks for the feedback! The music speed, in the range 0..1, is actually `power * speedMultiplier`, and `speedmultiplier` starts at 1, with 0.1 added every half second - so it should slow down as you run out of power, but if you are too far through the game, `speedMultiplier` will probably make the sound too fast - perhaps I should have made the music speed up more slowly.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Chris Coe","author_uid":"1037263","time":"2017-08-05T19:18:21Z","epoch":1501960701,"modified":1501960701,"text":"What fun! A very simple concept executed very well. Very simple music track, but I really enjoyed how its tempo and pitch was linked to your speed. Very cool texture for the walls. Ball looks a little weird though. You made the little boxes look surprisingly good with the visual effects on them. Cool game. :)","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"BobbyTables","author_uid":"1045116","time":"2017-08-05T19:22:24Z","epoch":1501960944,"modified":1501960944,"text":"The game was enjoyable and very straight-forward.

I will say it might have been nice to have less abrasive sound effects if you're picking up blocks as fast as you are. Once it gets past a certain speed, it seems like largely luck as to avoiding anything after that.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Srolfe657","author_uid":"1034717","time":"2017-08-05T22:20:26Z","epoch":1501971626,"modified":1501971626,"text":"I enjoyed playing, I liked that the music sped up and slowed down depending on your current energy level.

It is an easy way to improve your games especially with a tool like dreamlo.com\n\nEDIT:\nI just realized I were supposed to avoid the red blocks and not the purple ones haha. Maybe using a different shape for the red blocks could help because I forgot which ones to avoid.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"claramakesamess","author_uid":"1047789","time":"2017-08-06T14:59:29Z","epoch":1502031569,"modified":1502031569,"text":"I like how the music changes based on your battery level.  It makes it really clear how well you're currently doing.  I wish that the blocks were spaced out in more of a pattern though. Also how many battery units do the red blocks take off?  Just so I know whether or not to take a hit if it means I can get the +5 directly behind a red.  Overall, great game.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Agecaf","author_uid":"1039445","time":"2017-08-06T18:47:57Z","epoch":1502045277,"modified":1502045277,"text":"This was a fun little game! Design-wise, it is hard to avoid the obstacles and they don't hurt you too much, so at some point you stop caring too much about avoiding them; Try to add easy to dodge obstacles with a big punishments to keep the player's interest.
