There passed maybe 15-20 then gave up on some difficutl jumps.

It was kind of nice game. Would have been more so if the player had better controls. I'm mostly thinking of the power in the jump. It felt much like the Time.timeDelta was too important or something like that. At times I could jump so low I didn't lift off the ground and at times roughly the same duration landed me a jump that was too high. If a jump-power meter was included it would help with that. I also didn't notice at first that the jumping could be extended by holding the button down. So the meter would kind of help the player realize that too. It also felt like the spikes had too large of a collision area (or the player). At times the spikes were facing the wrong way. And maybe most of all, if I had known how far into the game I was by some "Level 13\/24" it would have been nice. Those things aside I did play it for quite a while so there's something nice about the challenge it presents. And as with all two button control games -- have you considered doing the left side of screen jump left and right jump right and port it to mobile?"},{"author_name":"purrpurr","author_uid":"18116","time":"Dec 22, 2015 @ 1:28am","epoch":1450747380,"text":"Had some fun playing this game. The mechanics are simple and a nice use of the theme, albeit a bit unpolished. Especially liked the later stages' design, where it fully used all elements, but wasn't too cheap or difficult. Only real problem I had was with the momentum crawling to a sudden halt when eating food sometimes."},{"author_name":"ChiPassGames","author_uid":"64535","time":"Dec 22, 2015 @ 6:16pm","epoch":1450807860,"text":"@local - thanks for the input. We are actually thinking about doing a mobile version of this game, though we will not limit it to two button.... we are toying with a swipe control. You never know what you are going to come up with when you do these things, and the whole get fat for mass\/get thin for jumping is a mechanic we are enjoying working with. I wish we had more time to do more levels that incorporated swinging through walls, but frankly we had a ton of issues getting the collisions to work right, but still have some way to go. A doughnut should not stop a swinging fat guy..."},{"author_name":"NirabazGAMES","author_uid":"65891","time":"Dec 25, 2015 @ 2:51am","epoch":1451011560,"text":"funny game :)"},{"author_name":"Imagos Softworks","author_uid":"64799","time":"Dec 27, 2015 @ 1:54am","epoch":1451180940,"text":"Interesting idea for two button controls.

That part wasn't very well thought out and is probably too hard.\r\rAlso very strange is that you can swing the rope while the rope pass through wall blocks.\r\rBut as I said, the part that I did played was very fun, and I've rated the game based on that part.
