I think the original idea is really great, but it definitely needs a bit of fine-tuning.\n\nFurthermore - the audio. Though I support and like bit-based audio, the sounds in the game were rather unpleasant to listen to. A small change in the pitch might help, maybe?\n\nOne more thing, I guess I found a bug while writing this review. When I left the tab open, the game just kind of finished itself, without me doing anything? Like if I got into some kind of Godmode - Jimmy was jsut impervious to damage. :D  I suppose the updates are not really happening in the order they are supposed to. Possibly pausing the game when player loses focus could help with this. \n\nDon't get me wrong - I like the game, I just feel like it needs more work done.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Collin Thompson","author_uid":"1075454","time":"2020-05-01T03:42:29Z","epoch":1588304549,"modified":1588304549,"text":"@alexander-wayne Hello!
