Just didn't. It was too difficult right from the start without telling me how to do stuff. I think it would be better if you made it clear how and what to do. BTW &quot;w&quot; would be a better key for jumping."},{"author_name":"internetspaulicy","author_uid":"25260","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 5:54pm","epoch":1418060940,"text":"This game looks great!

People won't spend a lot of time on a game, because they have a lot more games to rate. But it's a really nice game, especially for a first one.

I think that my main issue with the game is the controls, I'm not a huge fan of how sensitive movement is. Otherwise I'd say I liked it.

I don't really believe in the idea of &quot;perfect jumping&quot; or &quot;impossible jumps&quot; so those were kind of a turn off from the game. I would also suggest that you use the teleporters in a way that you won't try to use one and then instantly fall off the platform (the first teleporter)"},{"author_name":"rincewind_cz","author_uid":"25122","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 3:18am","epoch":1418181180,"text":"Nice little platformer.
