The game is already hard when you have to think of which key you are currently holding, which one you can release etc... I stopped at the level \"Up and down\".\nExpect this keyboard issue, this works great. I had fun trying to beat the levels in the least bytes possibles.\nThe game is very polished.\nThis game merits to be seen my more people.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Stefan Jovanovic","author_uid":"1098520","time":"2018-08-18T15:07:08Z","epoch":1534604828,"modified":1534604828,"text":"Nice and cahllenging game.

I like the main aesthetic and music. It seems to me that you could add more informations so as to help players to understang gameplay. You tried to do something unusual - and it's great, but I thing that this game could be better using a gameplay more conventional - maybe something more or less similar with platformers. However, you did a great entry. You deserve more rates.

But the best and very inovative puzzle game I've played in a while and awesome overall. This is like one of those old games that is very simple but everybody still remembrs it because it was so cool. I'll really feel sad if this goes unrated because I think it's one of the best in the competition. Also music is really nice too. It's cool that you use pxtone. If you want to expand the game (and get some serve space :D ) it would be cool for you to add a level editor.
