The game is fun ( I made it to the end in 117.15s ) and the colorful graphics are nice.\n\nThe only thing that bothers me is the view. Isometric 2D is really cool, but when it comes to heights, it imposes restrictions which depend on the angle of the camera ; the culling at the bottom of the screen was a little misleading, there's no obvious way to tell the difference between the level boundaries and the end of the culling volume.\n\nOther than that, good job! there's probably a lot of potential for extra gameplay here ( spikes, moving obstacles, etc. ) !","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1147672,"author_name":"alec","author_uid":"alec","epoch":1744462991,"text":"@jtap @t90 @fireye Making the restart button \"S\" was definitely a bad idea on my part!

This is my highest-rated game so far I think. The only problem for me was that performance was very variable.
