I guess 1 monkey writing autotracker for an hour and going through the results is pretty similar, no :P?\r@Firellon: Bullies can be tough, but there's only 1 that you have to avoid in the narrow passages below :P Even so, with some timing you can even leap over him inside the corridor! It needs some practice, not immediate by any measure :)\r@Drtizzle: Thanks for the kind words, glad you liked the humor\/story :D about the beating up, it's actually the "mildest" setback at only 3 second delay. The cheerleader shrinks your beard and Danny's mom and dad confiscate his contraband, so they are way more dangerous... which is why they are placed in positions where you are less likely to hit them if you're careful ^^\r@fluidvolt: Thanks for your kind words!

I think the only criticism would be that when you get blocked in at the bottom, there's really no escaping the enemies as you can't jump or anything to get away. The movement of the enemies feels a little unpredictable as well, for instance when they stop moving mid-jump and you land on them.
