The platform mechanic is interesting, though the jumping was difficult to control, especially a few levels in. There was an odd shakiness to the picture for some reason, not sure if that's just me but I thought I'd mention it. Any, good work!"},{"author_name":"SuperPokeunicorn","author_uid":"9858","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 12:30am","epoch":1450225500,"text":"Pretty neat concept. It was an interesting puzzle trying to position myself to make the best platforms. I also liked the rotation physics. It added a nice challenge, since you had to consider the angle of your character when making platforms. Nice work!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, for my game, there should definitely be audio. If you can't hear any, just remember to score &quot;N\/A&quot; for audio."},{"author_name":"DrTeaSpoon","author_uid":"60315","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 1:24pm","epoch":1450271940,"text":"Neat concept. Needs a lot of polish. There is no information about the buttons in-game. The &quot;grow&quot; mechanic was not explained at all and your character seemed to jump to previous &quot;block&quot; instead of the one you created."},{"author_name":"fiddenmar","author_uid":"54367","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 7:28pm","epoch":1450293780,"text":"@DrTeaSpoon, if player dies, he will appear on top of the last placed block. If Space pressed, he will appear on top of the block placed right before the new one.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The grow mechanic was explained above, not in the game, my fault.

I think the passages could be a little (or a lot) wider. The fun parts are to build you own way to the end of a level with your copied.
