I downloaded the game without any permissions. I need to admit that controls in the game in unusual. In most games character controls by arrow keys or A and D.

It's very annoying that the player 'glides' so much. Because of that I couldn't get past the level where you have to stand on your own skeletons on top of the spikes, I just kept gliding into the spikes.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, it is very awkward to try and navigate the beanstalks while gliding so much.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall: If you improve this gliding, I'd say it's a pretty solid little game well done!"},{"author_name":"ambi","author_uid":"31451","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 7:30am","epoch":1450077900,"text":"Thanks for the input guys. It's good to hear what you thought about the controls. The gliding can be ameliorated with pressing both buttons exactly only when then jump cooldown finishes. Only pressing left or right makes the character stick to the wall much better."},{"author_name":"Docjekyll","author_uid":"41650","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 7:54am","epoch":1450079340,"text":"Interesting platformer. I liked the idea to make jump both buttons at the same time. The jump motion was quite difficult for me to control (just really floaty, hard to get those ledge jumps), but I saw several good puzzle ideas"},{"author_name":"MCRewind","author_uid":"55143","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 8:40am","epoch":1450082100,"text":"dont have permission to play"},{"author_name":"manabreak","author_uid":"11177","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 8:47am","epoch":1450082520,"text":"Pretty nice! The movement is a bit wonky because of the momentum, but other than that, the idea and execution are quite good.
