I got murdered by spiders like 5 times before I realized I could just jump over them. Maybe a reminder of controls (or writing them on the LD\/itch pages) would be helpful. I like the premise a lot, and managing your inventory to change your speed is an effective game mechanic.

The opening sequence is great and made me laugh. :) The spiders were my bane tho. Having to deal with such difficult enemies right at the start is a bit frustrating. The first few times I tried beating them with the stick but that didn't seem to do any damage, so I just ended up avoiding.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"atmospherium","author_uid":"1004925","time":"2017-12-14T00:48:10Z","epoch":1513212490,"modified":1513212490,"text":"It's not every day I see a Ludum Dare entry with an opening cutscene. Really enjoyed that you set your game apart from the opening. Gameplay was a bit rough around the edges and I had a hard time figuring out what to do.
