I understand that my laptop is the problem, though.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The game is seriously fun. Even when I wasn't making progress, just building up speed and walljumping around was entertaining. Speaking of making progress, I feel that restarting the whole game when the player hits an enemy is a bit harsh... Maybe a life mechanic would improve this, dunno. I couldn't get past level 3, so I don't know how lengthy the game is.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This is a very cool concept, and I'd really like to play more of this! Great work!"},{"author_name":"madmaw","author_uid":"5068","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 8:16pm","epoch":1440533460,"text":"@legacycrono ...I haven't made it past level 2, and I wrote the game and I'm using a mouse!?"},{"author_name":"ArchBang","author_uid":"56395","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 9:37pm","epoch":1440538320,"text":"Nice game, theme notwithstanding. Losing momentum is really quite bad and it's easy then to slip back down quite a lot.

(well, as good as one can play with a touchpad anyway :P)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Now I can shoot while I'm jumping, which changed for me how the game is played considerably. Now I absolutely LOVE this game. The recoil lets you do cool maneuvers, lets you ascend much faster and lets you avoid traps that normally wouldn't be possible. It feels awesome. Thanks to that I reduced my best time in Level 1 to 0:16 :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I can consistently reach Level 3 now, but I still couldn't beat it (yet). Enemies are still tough to handle, but at least now I don't feel hopeless against them. Because of the recoil, if you shoot an enemy during a jump you're likely to lose speed and fall down.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'll try again tonight to see if I can beat Level 3 (and perhaps beat the game). Again, awesome job!"},{"author_name":"madmaw","author_uid":"5068","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 8:07pm","epoch":1440619320,"text":"@LegacyCrono thanks for coming back for more! I feel bad though, there is no end, just more difficulty. I guess the unofficial end is when the random number generator puts so many walls and spikes in that the exit is unreachable. I'm going to polish it for js13k, I'll ping you the link on twitter when I do.
