I mostly wish it was longer, the first 4 levels are of trivial difficulty and more stuff like later levels would be nice. Also the one subtle thing - I feel that the kick in soundtrack is too prominent (makes for a weird, slightly \"choppy\" feeling for me on headphones), but overall it still sounds really, really good.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1059932,"author_name":"LDJam user 268934","author_uid":"268934","epoch":1713438410,"text":"This is fantastic!
