Personally, I found the controls (as usual) a little unconventional, I'd be happier with Space = Jump, up = hide, ctrl = use cure, but again that's my usual inability to go with something out of the ordinary I guess.\r<br\/>The jumping physics felt a little mushy to me, like moon gravity with icy platforms. Also, the room with the SOS\/BBQ (hah!) people was too hard for me, the zombie always got me, despite me having the cure pointed at it. The sound effects clash a little with the silent-movie atmosphere, it would have been fun, if they were also piano-notes or something."},{"author_name":"Hectate","author_uid":"19412","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 9:49pm","epoch":1429566240,"text":"Fun little platformer; controls felt a little floaty but not necessarily in a bad way.
