The game works well and has good ideas.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>For open-ended platformers like this the level design can make or break the game though, and in this case I found it a bit flawed: on my first attempt I ended up blocked at the bottom of the map (red zone) without any ability, having me restart the game. I think you should have prevented the gates from opening if you don't have the required powers to play through them.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Other possible improvements would be to make the orbs easier to catch, and maybe ramp up the difficulty more progressively (or add more checkpoints).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Otherwise graphics a quite good and especially benefit from nice little effects, plus having these little keys to help to players figure out the controls was a good thing :)"},{"author_name":"jk5000","author_uid":"50889","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 6:35am","epoch":1460961000,"text":"Fine idea and a alright platformer.
