I feel that the enemies are way too overbearing; I can hardly land on a platform without one already positioned exactly where I will be, not to mention their hitboxes are huge and I die without visually touching an enemy. This coupled with the floaty physics makes it dangerous to even jump. I get that the game is supposed to be hard but tighter controls, better hitboxes, and predictable enemy movements will keep it challenging and add replay value.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good work nonetheless!"},{"author_name":"bombjack","author_uid":"18768","time":"Sep 2, 2015 @ 4:28pm","epoch":1441210980,"text":"I can feel what you wanted to do with this game but currently the controls are not responsive enough.
