I found the reloading at checkpoint controls a little jarring, as I'd often be holding a direction when I died, and expected to keep going in that direction when I reloaded. Other than that, really neat take on the theme, very well executed, great job!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Jeremy Ryan","author_uid":"1015034","time":"2020-10-05T01:14:19Z","epoch":1601860459,"modified":1601860460,"text":"Nice entry! It's a neat concept, and the minimalist graphics and sound work well for it. The trailing arrows are a really nice visual effect.\n\nI agree with the above comment that it would be nice to have the keys be a little more consistent when respawning. You could also afford to add some \"juice\" like particle or camera effects(Google *The Art of Screenshake* for an amazing game design talk).\n\nWell done for 48 hours!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Listonos","author_uid":"1000380","time":"2020-10-05T02:30:26Z","epoch":1601865026,"modified":1601865026,"text":"Nice clean minimalistic style, I appreciate that. Very simple and just the right length, well done. My only feedback is that you seem to have to re-press the arrows when you die instead of holding them down when you are about to be out of time.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"TheLonewolf","author_uid":"1122923","time":"2020-10-05T02:30:38Z","epoch":1601865038,"modified":1601865038,"text":"Fun game!

The only thing I wished it did was maintain your input after each loop, it was kind of jarring when I'd be holding A and S (for example) but the movement stopped.
