Most LD entries I skip all the text, but this one I read because it was very silly, nice job with that.  However, I really hate the fact that the text MOVES as it's being &quot;typed&quot; onto the screen.  It like hurts my eyes or something man.. Also, not sure if re-looping the music each time you die was a good idea.  I hated listening to the first 5 seconds of it over and over again....  But I enjoyed the game so whatever!"},{"author_name":"jcsirron","author_uid":"29257","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 3:11am","epoch":1450235160,"text":"Gotta love that woman with a flowing beard in the intro!

From the absurd concept to the brutal difficulty, this game screams NES. The music is great, the graphics are great (side note: what's with classic style games and making me hate ducks).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall this game is awesome. It's a tad TOO hard in my opinion, but everything else makes up for it. The controls are tight, the graphics are awesome, it's definitely one of the funnier games I've played in all of the jams.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Great work!"},{"author_name":"Hot Box Games","author_uid":"39707","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 7:00pm","epoch":1450464900,"text":"Awesome entry, as two of our team are sporting very large beards we are impressed at the acuracy of beard ownership.

I'd recommend having the music not restart every time you die -- it makes it much more frustrating to lose and people don't get to hear the awesome music! Also the hitbox definitely seemed to behave oddly at times. I'd love to see this extended with procedural generation.

Might seem a little silly but it added a bit to the game play itself in terms of &quot;mood&quot;. Music\/sound effects were top notch.
