In the end, the game is very simple: exit through the left hole, follow a cloud, enter in a right hole, and repeat. The quicker clouds do increase the challenge, but the jumping issues are a bigger challenge (as in loose controls). Mostly an average entry in my opinion, below par in many areas, but does well for the theme."},{"author_name":"anvoz","author_uid":"30146","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 12:30pm","epoch":1398860700,"text":"@StencylTuo I wish I could spend more time on the gameplay. Since this is my second entry, using the same tools as the first one, I thought I could take it easier but unfortunately the new version of Phaser was giving me more troubles than I expected. The quicker clouds challenge is just a backup plan. I were glad that I could make it playable in the end."},{"author_name":"Kerdelos","author_uid":"30088","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 12:47pm","epoch":1398861720,"text":"Nice concept !"},{"author_name":"vogon101","author_uid":"32543","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 12:49pm","epoch":1398861840,"text":"This is a great game.

Your phaser skills are obviously better than mine, but as a framework it is very promising. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>For gameplay's sake I would consider having clouds at different height going at different speeds and in different directions. Also making the shadow less transparent so to make it clearer where it is. An animation of shady burning when exposed to sun.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>If bottom layer of the dark-zone was patrolled by people with flashlights it would also up the gaming experience I think. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Maybe even a dark\/light cycle on the above world where night implies safe roaming but fewer people or so?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nice start, but some more work on the game-aspect so it's not only about running around in a circle."},{"author_name":"anvoz","author_uid":"30146","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 12:36pm","epoch":1398947460,"text":"@local minimum The cloud variations feature like you said was cut because some technical issues.
