First part of the game was challenging enough without being too frustrating. I don't really get what the point of the trusses keeping the player character stuck in them for a random(?) amount of time is all about though, hard to tell if it's a bug or feature. Couldn't figure out how to damage the boss for the first couple of attempts. Tried to attack him by jumping from above with the sword but didn't do much damage. Attacking from the ground didn't do much either. The way I found was to attack the boss while beneath a tile so that you don't fly away and keep damaging the boss that way. Resulting in one hitting the boss. But that feels like exploiting the game mechanics instead of killing the boss with skill. Also the boss got stuck underneath a tile in the death animation one time and therefore never triggers the game over\/victory event. Overall I had fun playing the game. Cool explosion physics also =)"},{"author_name":"brokenbeach","author_uid":"41470","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 6:42pm","epoch":1418236620,"text":"I thought the fact that you hit your head on the ceiling was quite annoying and the glitchyness of the bounding blocks frustrating when TNT was in my face.\r\rGood use of sound and cute graphics though."},{"author_name":"Grindstorm","author_uid":"44088","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 6:50pm","epoch":1418237100,"text":"Nice 8-bit version of Daft Punk :) it was fun."},{"author_name":"wilpel1234","author_uid":"37098","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 6:53pm","epoch":1418237280,"text":"Good job!"},{"author_name":"Hellequin","author_uid":"20522","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 6:56pm","epoch":1418237460,"text":"Nice concept!

I was confused by the sinking spots, I thought they should have been completely different looking so you know to avoid them. I couldn't figure out what moving squares and growing circles were supposed to be. I wasn't sure how the gravitating thing the circle did was supposed to effect what you're doing. It became very hard to reach the boss with that last layer. Maybe the hazards could have be more spaced out? Regardless of the critique, a fine job."},{"author_name":"pjimmy","author_uid":"40339","time":"Dec 13, 2014 @ 5:44pm","epoch":1418492340,"text":"nice audio, cute visuals, a little rough though, well done"},{"author_name":"danidre14","author_uid":"32791","time":"Dec 18, 2014 @ 3:18pm","epoch":1418915580,"text":"YOY!
