Pretty fun!\r\rThere are lots of minor things: it seems like hitboxes could be tweaked (I think I was able to kill enemies by just jumping next to them, not landing on top of them), there are a number of bugs (sand disappearing even when not touched, I got stuck in a wall one time, etc.), and some graphical quirks (e.g., unreadable text), but I think the biggest issue is with the level difficulty. I found the earliest levels to be the hardest, while many of the later levels were pretty linear and easy. I think if you could replicate aspects of the early levels onto the later levels, it would make for a stronger game.\r\rCongrats on submitting!"},{"author_name":"falcon11445","author_uid":"38333","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 11:25am","epoch":1440415200,"text":"@jodizzle thanks for the feedback I will definitely make the levels more difficult if I continue it for fun."},{"author_name":"Indiestry","author_uid":"41883","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 12:18pm","epoch":1440418380,"text":"Nice idea regarding the travel-through-history idea, but I encountered numerous graphical glitches on Windows 8. The whole time there was a font-sheet overlay on the display, that shouldnt be there I belive. After the Egypt levels I spawned inside a wall and couldnt continue. But it has a nice retro feel to it, enjoyed the time :)."},{"author_name":"falcon11445","author_uid":"38333","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 12:21pm","epoch":1440418560,"text":"@Indiestry oh, im sorry that happened im not really to sure why that did happen actually :P but again im sorry."},{"author_name":"raducumiczzz","author_uid":"57049","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 3:08pm","epoch":1440428580,"text":"Great to play, portal idea is neat.
