However the controls seemed to let me down at odd times, once I figured out you actually have to move the mouse to move (otherwise you can only move left) I found that once I'd used the polarity switch once, the controls seemed to drag to the left. The only other gripe I have is that it got frustrating having only one life and having to return to the title screen and replay the story to get back into the game."},{"author_name":"nonetheless","author_uid":"36254","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 6:18pm","epoch":1450116780,"text":"Nice music. And it's always great to have story even when the mechanics are simple. Like your "drawings" as well. Good entry :)"},{"author_name":"Leon M\u00f6hring","author_uid":"63620","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 9:27pm","epoch":1450128120,"text":"I really like the parallax background"},{"author_name":"Cake_Catastrophe","author_uid":"5901","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 9:37pm","epoch":1450128720,"text":"Liked the story and art, hated having only one life. Level 1 is slow and boring compared to the others, and they all seem to go on for a long time. Got as far as level 3.\r\rThe central mechanic is a nice idea, but the control implementation feels awkward."},{"author_name":"elizeu","author_uid":"21461","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 10:02pm","epoch":1450130220,"text":"I enjoyed the soundtrack, I am from Florianópolis and also spent the weekend working hard to join, great job"},{"author_name":"hoqjed","author_uid":"26775","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 5:53pm","epoch":1450201680,"text":"Cool concept! SO the menu has "history mode" which confused me, as I think a simple "Play" would do better.\r\rAlso, i got to the second level and just got destroyed right away. i think there needs to be more time for the player to react and there was too much on screen at the start.\r\rOtherwise well done!"},{"author_name":"Rocketship","author_uid":"39351","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 6:01pm","epoch":1450202160,"text":"Takes a bit of time to get used to the controls and the hitboxes but when it gets faster and you feel at ease with the controls it's a lot of fun. I maybe would have still preferred that the character simply followed the mouse, it's still an interesting control scheme."},{"author_name":"redzero","author_uid":"56670","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 6:11pm","epoch":1450202760,"text":"Awesome game!"},{"author_name":"loxo","author_uid":"23206","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 9:28pm","epoch":1450214580,"text":"Interesting idea.

I like the idea, but I think this game could have been improved if it was twitchier, and more positive about its collision detection."},{"author_name":"elizeu","author_uid":"21461","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 8:21pm","epoch":1450296960,"text":"Entao, eu nao sei tbm o que ta rolando, eu sou usuario de mac, compilei pra windows apenas para poder postar no LD, eu so tenho uma maquina com windows e nao estou conseguindo testar direito, se puder me ajudar entra em contato elizeu.nrj@gmail.com a versao android acredito que esteja funcionando né?"},{"author_name":"NuggetTeam","author_uid":"65554","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 12:00am","epoch":1450310100,"text":"I wish the game has a way to restart directly without passing the intro, but it has a good story and the gameplay is original.
