It may just be my computer (as it's had a looong day) but thought I'd let you know in case it was something you could fix. Checked the downloadble version and it ran perfectly. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Really great work. Get some rest!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for making this game!"},{"author_name":"oh_cripes","author_uid":"2924","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 3:12pm","epoch":1418051220,"text":"Nice variety of traps and hazards. Seems like a lot got done in a small time. I got stuck on the second cannon, I couldn't get past it, perhaps the timing is different on my PC but there was not enough gap between the rocks to run through."},{"author_name":"mrexcessive","author_uid":"20788","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 6:57pm","epoch":1418064720,"text":"Hi there. Loads happening here. Love the sound effects.  The gore is good, but happens way too much, some of the jumps over spikes are very tight.  Nice and generous with the respawns, which is good!  I found the movement scheme confusing, perhaps should stay with movement relative to player character rather than screen - so climing up wall which faces left is right key not up key ?"},{"author_name":"Luis Anton","author_uid":"12053","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 10:34pm","epoch":1418077740,"text":"oh_cripes: Have you tried ducking? : ) Pressing the down arrow when not standing on a platform makes your character duck! That's the only way to avoid those rocks, and that passage was created to force you to discover that :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>mrexessive: yep, lots of death. Some cross between Knytt and VVVVVVV here. It would be too short otherwise! But all traps are avoidable ;D In relation to movement relative to player, could be. I think it's the animation what confuses you: the character should crawl when climbing, not walk, maybe...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for playing!"},{"author_name":"jcsirron","author_uid":"29257","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 3:43am","epoch":1418096280,"text":"I like this game.
