I wasn't a huge fan of the music, it sounded a bit all over the place. The actual menu was well made, and the menu buttons looked quite nice! Some of the obstacles felt a bit strange, particularly the skeleton hand, which I assumed would hurt me, but didn't seem to. I was also a bit confused by the existense of gravity. This may seem silly, but I thought the player could float or that the game was a top down, because of the ghost like character disconnected from the floor. This, coupled with a lack of orientation and lighting initially confused me, but ultimately I figured it out. You could maybe, in the earlier levels have some lit objects to help the player orient themselves with what to expect from the game world. Overall the game was quite fun, and I often found myself trying to memorise the levels to avoid 'sacrificing' my life. Nice creation! :thumbsup: ","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"patvanmackelberg","author_uid":"1005602","time":"2018-12-04T03:53:44Z","epoch":1543895624,"modified":1543895624,"text":"Really great use of the them, very tough game though :P","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Hempuli","author_uid":"1006887","time":"2018-12-04T04:41:51Z","epoch":1543898511,"modified":1543898511,"text":"Interesting! It took me a moment to realize that the moving hands and whatnot weren't actually dangerous, but they were a neat graphical addition! The monochrome style added nicely to the concept. The player's hitbox felt a bit hard to read, which became an issue to an extent in the later levels due to the one-hit-kill nature of the game. Still, very nice!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Jackson_makes_games","author_uid":"1128091","time":"2018-12-04T23:40:50Z","epoch":1543966850,"modified":1543966850,"text":"The concept is really great (my game's concept is actually pretty similar), I just coudln't progess very far on the first or second levels, and once I died on the second level, I couldn't go back to the main menu. I don't know if the levels were broken or I just wasn't playing right, but I feel like they could've used a little more attention. \n\nOther than that you have a great game, and I'd really love to see it get developed further.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Namae","author_uid":"1120361","time":"2018-12-06T00:41:26Z","epoch":1544056886,"modified":1544056886,"text":"Really cool!
