Some sick level design with really cool jumps. It's basically a hard platformer, but really slow-paced, so you don't have to react as fast, which is nice. The only thing I really struggled with was figuring out the spider jumps. Audio was really suiting too, though the death sound is kinda cringing :p Should probably mention the boss fight too, since it suddendly made the controls a lot more interesting (more left\/right)\r<br\/>cool game"},{"author_name":"aamatniekss","author_uid":"64215","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 3:29pm","epoch":1450106640,"text":"Nice!

The control scheme is unusual but it works beautifully. You nailed the game mechanics, it totally feels like an old school game.

But, this is a fantastic entry which really deserves to be seen so I don't want to give you a bad rating either.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The mechanics are really well implemented, just totally solid. Love the Castlevania feel to the jumps, works better than standard abuse-a-physics-engine fare.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Audio &amp; art are simple but super effective. Can't fault it.

It's a little shameful how long it took me to get past the menu. Cleaver control scheme though. Another ingenious way to use the two-button rule for a platformer. I keep watching your animated GIF above and wonder why I too couldn't &quot;ground pound&quot; with that kind of skill. I couldn't get past the long pit with the two spiders, but loved every minute of trying."},{"author_name":"MorseAmalgam","author_uid":"57477","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 7:51pm","epoch":1450122360,"text":"Really solid game.

This was mesmerizing. Unique. One of my favorite things in old videogames is the prevalence of black -- like the game takes place in a void. This unsettled me as a kid, but love it now and your game really revels in it. I love it. Great ambient squelchy synth music and stark graphics make a great pair. Even a boss battle at the end -- so complete. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Ground pound mechanic was fun as hell. A big grin crawled across my face after jumping on top of spiders across a large gap. Great job on this. One of my favorites this LD."},{"author_name":"fragileannihilator","author_uid":"49685","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 11:42pm","epoch":1450395420,"text":"Cool controls and nice mood.
