I think the level with symmetry on both sides is actually the best level to teach this, though I wish there was feedback on the thingies I landed on so I could remember which ones I had touched. Nice work on those animations! Note about jumping, it can be handy to allow a jump the first few frames into a an in-air state, to help situations where you're right on the edge of a platform and need to move-jump and fall off the edge when you intend to jump. Nice work! YAAAY!"},{"author_name":"mildmojo","author_uid":"6748","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 6:45am","epoch":1409121600,"text":"Were the log removals random? I got an unwinnable version of the last level three times (all logs removed between the rightmost two stone platforms) before a winnable version showed up (some logs not removed). The first time I played the level with the black platforms and the burrito below the start, the skull didn't destroy anything after I collected the burrito, making the level unwinnable. The second time worked fine.\r\rI wanted the hamster's jump to have a little bit more suspension time, but otherwise the controls felt pretty good. The art was lovely. The skull in particular was nicely made and the character animation was well done. I liked the decision to freeze the character when collecting the burrito.\r\rThe world needs more gemstone burritos."},{"author_name":"Two Scoop Games","author_uid":"37347","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 11:57am","epoch":1409140320,"text":"I am going to add a note since we can't change this in the jam version of the game.

The graphics are very nice, as the sounds.\rI didn't realize that the blocks destroyed was those that I touch until I saw your comment here (I finished it first).
