I did have a bit of trouble trying to figure out which direction gravity was pulling me most of the time, even with the arrow in the background.

That game itself might have been inspired by the bonus levels of Sonic the Hedgehog 1 (1991).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>&quot;Why cow&quot;. I don't know what the original idea was any longer. But I wanted to do something with my username (an anagram for Ludum Dare) but the whole (Darth) Maul part was left out. The udder was left and a cow seemed fitting... somehow. And somewhat easier to draw (unlike my attempt at an udder).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Rys0n: Thanks, also for the suggestion. I have trouble too with the direction of gravity (maybe I shouldn't overuse it in a level) and that's also why the background arrow was added. I like your visual cue at the side better and will try it out (it shouldn't become too flashy I think)."},{"author_name":"MaulUdder","author_uid":"64522","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 1:33am","epoch":1450142880,"text":"CristianBatista: I'm not sure I follow.
