We clearly had the best idea.\r\rI thought you nailed the art and music style. It was very humorously satisfying to pull off a successful hit.\r\rI appreciated how he changed up the jump occasionally, so it wasn't simply a game about hitting the timing perfectly without anything else going on. The challenge to get to 100 points, while simple, adds some replay value for the completionists, and was a smart idea."},{"author_name":"Karai17","author_uid":"46460","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 4:03am","epoch":1440475080,"text":"Ha!
