I put the saturn planet in the hole anf after that i was lost and i spent way too much time trying to figure it out so i stopped. the graphics arent the best but thats ok. It also looked like you imported an entire image into a tileset which is strange, but i dont know. otherwise its a cool little game! nice job"},{"author_name":"ghostinthesoft","author_uid":"20530","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 5:40am","epoch":1409204100,"text":"Thank you breadstix !\r<br\/>Torcado194: thanx for all your comments. Feebacks are really welcome, I will probably make another version to correct all the problems to make a funnier game. But I don't really understand what you're saying about image and tileset. Indeed, I use tiles almost everywhere and only characters and the planet are sprites. However, tiles are rendering strangely on the borders, I don't know why Stencyl is doing this !"},{"author_name":"Perjoka","author_uid":"38892","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 6:11am","epoch":1409205960,"text":"well done, i like it!"},{"author_name":"stephenhaney","author_uid":"39284","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 6:15am","epoch":1409206200,"text":"Hmm, very cool idea!  I love the set up.  I couldn't progress very far - I made it onto the shelf up above the TV but couldn't figure out anywhere to go from there without falling back down below.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It could be helpful a little more information about what you were interacting with in the invisible world.  Right now it's like &quot;hit e and hope you get what you want&quot;.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>That said, I think it's a very interesting setting for a game and there's a lot of fun potential.
