The core gameplay was great. I think someone might have said this, but a changing camera position would be better, because sometimes it felt like there was no way you could see upcoming obstacles. Fantastic game, and great use of theme!"},{"author_name":"Crafting4U","author_uid":"29423","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 6:03am","epoch":1450072680,"text":"Fun gameplay, simple concept and decent graphics.

Good job!\r\rJust as a heads up, the .pdb files in Unity 5 builds aren't needed - I don't know why it puts them there, but you could shave some size off the download by removing them.
