Good Luck!"},{"author_name":"simon.parzer","author_uid":"50444","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 12:40am","epoch":1450226100,"text":"Very nice graphics. The constant zooming in of the dungeon was irritating as I didn't know at first that I could use potions to grow again because on my German keyboard Z and Y are swapped.\r<br\/>After figuring that out it was definitely more fun, but then I entered Level 2 with almost no health left and it didn't refill that after dying so I wasn't able to advance."},{"author_name":"lucentbeam","author_uid":"25522","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 12:48am","epoch":1450226580,"text":"Oh shoot, and here I thought using cursors (over WASD) would be nicer to Europeans...

Except I was freckin'g skeletonsmashin' knight :)\r<br\/>Also, I think that maybe discrete steps in gowing up and down could make your game feel less wobbly.\r<br\/>P.S. This is a solid entry and needs more promotion :)"},{"author_name":"sonelliot","author_uid":"55213","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 1:46am","epoch":1450402860,"text":"Nice idea and it feels polished. I agree that the combat is a bit fiddly. Also, the constant zooming out effect made me feel a bit weesy after a while. I would change that so that there is a countdown bar and then the world size tweens out to be incrementally larger."},{"author_name":"kmakai","author_uid":"28426","time":"Dec 19, 2015 @ 2:14pm","epoch":1450534140,"text":"This was a really interesting idea, I like it a lot! I definitely agree with the comment above about having the size increment in steps, rather than continuously, it might help with performance as well (less scaling of textures each frame.) Good job!"},{"author_name":"Weeping Rupee","author_uid":"60016","time":"Dec 19, 2015 @ 4:45pm","epoch":1450543200,"text":"The good:\r<br\/>-Great level design\r<br\/>-Difficult but not too punishing\r<br\/>-Smart choices with the theme\r<br\/>-fun\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The bad:\r<br\/>-not terribly innovative"},{"author_name":"loxo","author_uid":"23206","time":"Dec 19, 2015 @ 5:53pm","epoch":1450547280,"text":"Nice idea with changing the size of player\/world.
