The jump was a bit wonky though. Instead of having one jump speed, try having the jump speed get slower the higher the player gets and speed up as they fall. I really liked your incorporation of the theme though. Very atmospheric."},{"author_name":"gwa","author_uid":"34038","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 5:46am","epoch":1408945260,"text":"Cool!

Why why why :P  Let me control it more, ahhh it's so hard!  I guess that is it's charm though, nice game!
