I think, and please let me know your thoughts on this, that it is good for the game that it is not easy for a person to very quickly get out of a tough situation.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Remco","author_uid":"1000185","time":"2018-08-30T19:22:15Z","epoch":1535656935,"modified":1535656935,"text":"_(Note: The `.zip` does not have a top folder, so extract-in-place just unpacks all into the current folder.)_\n\nVery nice idea! :-)\nNot sure how well the theme fits (I get that there's a conveyor taking you  to the lava, but I think  the connection is tenous), but the theme doesn't really matter that much anyway.\n\nOn a more serious note, I think that the controls are hard enough that getting stuck behind a tall box is not quite recoverable for a player new to your game. Breaking boxes is hard enough to pull off that I feel it doesn't really compensate enough.\nMaybe next time, consider to focus less on an upgrade system that some players won't really have much chance to get to use, and more on a gradual difficulty curve.\n\nOn the other hand, the physics run pretty smoothly, which is great relief after a couple of games that ran way too slowly and\/or where buggy.\n\nIt's polished as well: The graphics and sounds fit well together and create a nice mood.\n\n_Don't forget to rate some more games yourself! You're only at about 12 ratings received, and it'd be a shame if this one ended up without a ranking!_","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Eric Kulbiej","author_uid":"1103214","time":"2018-09-02T00:20:52Z","epoch":1535847652,"modified":1535847652,"text":"Your game is very nice to play. The general impact is positive. \nAs a professional game dev I would suggest... just kidding haha\nNonetheless, if you want to work on this project more I suggest making a difficulty incresing algorithm.\nGraphics - very nice. Controls are also working very well.\nMaybe you could also take a glimpse at my game?
