Were they randomly generated?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I didn't see an energy bar, so I'm not sure how that was affecting my play, nor did I know how close to death I was.  What I did discover was that the dash was super powerful, so that's essentially the only move I ever did.  Only reason I died was because I got sloppy over some spike traps.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The max duration to activate double click felt a little short, but maybe I'm just being lazy.  :-)  I'm with Chubb, though, about holding down LMB to walk or something."},{"author_name":"Ancient_Pixel","author_uid":"38743","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 5:15pm","epoch":1450372200,"text":"@Andy Gainey: What is the resolution of your monitor and windows version?

Couple of bugs though: I died on the first level and when I restarted the music was gone. I also got an Out of Memory error as well.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I like the shifting of the camera - I wish there had been a bit more use of that. Also some feedback or display show what you can and can't do at any moment would be really helpful - it's hard to know if you can charge or throw a ninja star.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Finally I think you should have a short pause when entering a new level to show where enemies are because it's a little unfair when you just load in and then get rushed by a whole bunch that haven't spawned just next to you.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'd like to see the concept taken a little further though."},{"author_name":"Echo Team","author_uid":"62927","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 2:53am","epoch":1450406880,"text":"Cute, a bit easy to beat though.
