The controls are bit gimmicky and not as precise. Art is ok-ish, though the perspective is odd and you could have used a better font. On the bright side, it is a good answer to the theme, the mood is all there and it's somehow fun to play even though would do with a score count or something (or have I missed it?)"},{"author_name":"stevenjmiller","author_uid":"57518","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 8:40am","epoch":1440405300,"text":"I fixed the tutorial, as bugs that hinder progress are allowed to be fixed.

It would be nice if you could have been implemented them better n the levels (e.g. I often just reach the light switch after I already killed all enemies and the special powers could have been used better, you just have to teleport in the later levels (btw the later level are quite tough :D))\rAlso the graphics are quite too dark, I couldn't see walls and it was very hard to see my cursor (At first I thought teleporting doesn't work because I didn't see my cursor)\rOverall good idea and nice game, it just needs some more polishing :)"},{"author_name":"lolfrad","author_uid":"56939","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 10:28am","epoch":1440411780,"text":"Really great game.
