The spikes sometimes line up perfectly and the only way to avoid them is to use the invulnerability of the movement animation, which doesn't feel terribly fair or intended. I feel like the game would've worked much better with clearer deliniations of where the player should be at a given point. I'm mostly nitpicking here, though. The system works and isn't hard to learn.\r\rOnly other complaint is that the sound effects are a bit grating."},{"author_name":"cxsquared","author_uid":"23711","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 3:49am","epoch":1450064640,"text":"Really like the idea of it.
