I had all the files.\nOnto the game: It's nice, but I think the artstyle needs a bit more coherency.. ssome sprites are quite minimalistic, which in itself can be nice, and some use a lot of \"scattered\" pixels, which feels incoherent to me.\n","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"MrSchlag2","author_uid":"1053567","time":"2019-05-01T13:28:39Z","epoch":1556717319,"modified":1556717319,"text":"Nice game and cool animations !

I do have a few criticisms:\n\n* The washed-out color of the player character makes it quite hard to see him against the gray background. This might be remedied by...\n* Fullscreen mode! On a high resolution monitor the window size is really small and can't be resized.\n* As mentioned by others, you are meant to make *everything* by yourself for the compo, so I will deduct a point for using someone else's audio.\n\nStill, a solid, well-polished little action game.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"pndaa","author_uid":"1001569","time":"2019-05-05T09:47:01Z","epoch":1557049621,"modified":1557049954,"text":"@cppchriscpp @seb-jones OK I though it was ok as long as you didn't ask to be rated on that.
