The game seems very polished for being done in 48 hours.  The challenge of the obstacles forcing you to use the portals was a good idea.  The music was a little annoying after a while though."},{"author_name":"reaver","author_uid":"21604","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 4:03pm","epoch":1408982280,"text":"Pretty cool! Wishing for a bigger level and it was hard to move up and down without being able to see the enemies. Maybe add some more hit points would have helped. The moving saws were a nice touch."},{"author_name":"X-0r","author_uid":"25053","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 4:05pm","epoch":1408982400,"text":"Lovely graphics, and cool design. It's good to be able to rely on the order of where the blades come from. Makes it easier to plan (and to facepalm, if you forget the connections again)\r<br\/>The bottom-left portal is a bit tricky, because you fall down from the same area as the enemies... I suicided that way more than once."},{"author_name":"nickculbertson","author_uid":"39767","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 4:15pm","epoch":1408983000,"text":"Wow! Great feedback everyone.

Also rapidly pressing left shift brings up a windows message for sticky keys, perhaps a left control is a better option."},{"author_name":"kyyrma","author_uid":"8424","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 6:37pm","epoch":1408991520,"text":"The music is... rather morbid.
