They fit very well and set the mood, animations suit it also well.\n\nFor some reason the windows version had no sound, which was very sad. \n\nI didn't get that the spikes were dangerous at first because they blend in so well with the background. I wondered why I had to insert coins until someone behind me pointed out, that I was standing in spikes.\nQuite the learning curve to do the jumps.\n\nThe story is also nice. If it continues beyond one level I didn't get there, there was no end screen, just the dialogue where Bell keeps the money.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"A_ColtZz","author_uid":"1147138","time":"2019-05-02T18:29:31Z","epoch":1556821771,"modified":1556821771,"text":"5\/5 it was great love the music graphics character puzzling movement everything was fitted nice together great job. if you have time check out my game too :v: ","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"TiagoRrech","author_uid":"1001649","time":"2019-05-02T20:37:47Z","epoch":1556829467,"modified":1556829467,"text":"As others have said, great visuals!
