Maybe when the player dies, let them keep their powers and respawn on the screen that killed them. Or just let them keep their upgrades and respawn at the beginning. I'd like to play more, so let me know if you ever do something about the instant reset deaths. Cool game otherwise!"},{"author_name":"ToloaGames","author_uid":"55166","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 9:00pm","epoch":1450212900,"text":"I like your concept. I got stuck though.

But I have some major problems with it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>First - why the hell does key &quot;c&quot; close the window? Like... why? I had to actually remove it from my keyboard because I kept pushing it by accident. It was very frustrating.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Second - the movement was too fast, like others mentioned.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Third - the red thingies should be respawn points. It was very frustrating that I had to go through the whole game all over again when I failed that jump near the end. If only it wasn't so linear maybe.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, ingame instructions are missing, and the controls are not intuitive (shift).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>But like I said, I really like the concept."},{"author_name":"Jace239","author_uid":"65054","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 12:56am","epoch":1450227060,"text":"When I try to run the .exe, I get the following error message:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>A Striangle Journey.exe - Entry Point Not Found\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The procedure entry point ucrtbase.terminate could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll."},{"author_name":"Jace239","author_uid":"65054","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 12:57am","epoch":1450227120,"text":"I realized I could provide a bit more information, sorry.

Well done (: Except that it shut down when I lowered my volume (fn+f6...?)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Fun game! Very hard, mostly because it's hard to coordinate walljumps while moving that fast. The mechanics are solid though. The music and sounds weren't special, but they were there and fitted the game nicely. The graphics were also simple and not ugly.

I played it for about 15 minutes, and it was pretty fun!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Just a few critiques:\r<br\/>- The level's layout seemed a little confusing. First you go right, grab the square morph, then you go back to the left of the beginning and grab the pentagon morph, and go back right past the hole with the square morph again. It may help players if the progression is more linear, or, if you give the player hints on which direction they should go in (I had a hard time at first figuring out how to progress after getting the square morph).\r<br\/>- Getting hurt and losing your form basically makes it so that it is impossible to progress (for example, I got the pentagon morph and then I lost it, which made it impossible to travel into the hallway with all of the patrolling enemies).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good job on your first game!"},{"author_name":"OttersDen","author_uid":"46754","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 7:14am","epoch":1450336140,"text":"The controls are a little slippery, but this game provide a nice challenge!

It's not necessarily a bad thing to be fast in a platformer. It just means that your controls have to be really tight too. Super Meat Boy is a good example of that. I also ran into the bug where you die as a square and can no longer double jump once I came back and got the square again. There's a lot of game here though so good job you \/ team. Are you planning to put up the source code? You mentioned on my entry this was written in Pygame and I'm interested to see how you managed the different screens as you progress in the game."},{"author_name":"Manu &amp; Wan","author_uid":"9172","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 10:43am","epoch":1450435080,"text":"I can't run the game unfortunately, I get a error about a missing &quot;ucrt.terminate&quot; in &quot;api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll&quot;.
