I missed that I was supposed to make the things blow up, took a minute to get past the first room because of that - I piled up 50 rods or so!  The one where you have to jump up high was a challenge, the rest was straightforward, but you could definitely make a bigger explosion jumping game out of this.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"KekkoDude","author_uid":"1008291","time":"2019-10-07T02:04:08Z","epoch":1570413848,"modified":1570413848,"text":"Really enjoyable, the whole atmosphere was enjoying to play through, i dont know, i got caught up in it.\ngot stuck for a bit but, Blasted my way through it, haha.\n","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Jeremy Ryan","author_uid":"1015034","time":"2019-10-07T02:27:41Z","epoch":1570415261,"modified":1570415312,"text":"Nice entry!

Given more time I'd like to flesh it out better and make it a longer more puzzle-y game with more on the line as you go through levels.  Originally there was a type of block that would hinder your progress, however I removed it so that the story could happen uninterrupted.\n\n@kekkodude Glad to here you got caught up in it :D","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"chaosround","author_uid":"1013767","time":"2019-10-07T04:06:30Z","epoch":1570421190,"modified":1570421190,"text":"I had fun, the game has a good start, good work","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"khaotom","author_uid":"1001130","time":"2019-10-07T04:09:54Z","epoch":1570421394,"modified":1570421394,"text":"Delicious melodrama.

The only problem I had with the game (other than booting up a machine that runs Windows instead of Linux after failed attempts with wine and a vm) was that one vertical section, the text progressed faster than I could reach, so I may have missed some dialogue.
