The levels difficulty increased as you went on, but the level preceding it kinda prepped you for it. Throwing the mining hat around was fun, and I'm glad it respawned after a while, I was worried that I'd have to do it in one shot! \rThe respawning spikies, as well as the floaters, definitely made me rethink how to approach completing the level."},{"author_name":"Steven Colling","author_uid":"7211","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 7:52pm","epoch":1429645620,"text":"I really love the art style and the game itself felt very polished and fun!

Using the same "attack" from the same position seemed to produce random\/different results which were a bit confusing at time.\r\rI found a bug when the lamp is flashing, coming back to your head and you shoot at that moment, you will end up with a lamp on your head and a projected lamp as well.\r\rIt was nice going through the levels nonetheless.\rIt's missing music to add to the mood and polish of the game though.\r\rNice work nonetheless and congratulations making that game in 48 hours !"},{"author_name":"Crowbeak","author_uid":"16689","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 9:52am","epoch":1429782420,"text":"The first time I pressed space bar, I burst out laughing.

Simple idea but well executed. Could have done better level design with existing mechanism.\r\r2. I didn't realize the red blocks were dangerous until they respawned and killed me. Should be more like gears with spikes or something. And have some obvious sign\/timing before respawning would be nice.\r\r3. I think it's overall an action-based game. Using the helmet to eliminate enemies\/obstacles in really fun. But sometimes when I wanted to rush over a level I got easily killed. So I had to slow down and play carefully. When I slow down I usually expect some puzzle to solve but this game didn't give me.\r\rSorry for the harsh comments. I really appreciate the details you put into the game.

Absolutely love the animation of the main character, with a few simple sounds it adds loads of character, also helped by the setup at the start. Really clean lines and coherent visuals throughout. The controls were really nicely tuned and it was fun master the hat lob etc, you could certainly take this further in a full game and extend I think. The physics of the moving environments etc were also very solid and quite vertiginous when you fall to your doom ;) I liked the variety you got in there in terms of the game objects though it would have been nice to have had a bit more context for the baddies I was blatting. Given the setting of underground etc I think you could make use of the hat-light to add some puzzle elements perhaps, to complement the skill game. Also, some music would help add atmosphere I think. Great work! - J"},{"author_name":"Erkberg","author_uid":"24534","time":"Apr 28, 2015 @ 10:52am","epoch":1430218020,"text":"That was pretty amazing! Really enjoyed the graphics and the sfx.
