I wish there was more to the game. I was confused when I first finished it and thought that I perhaps might be able to unlock additional sprites. Wasn't sure how it fit in with the theme unless you consider a technical perspective. Otherwise, nice work!"},{"author_name":"Fritzendugan","author_uid":"14538","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 5:55am","epoch":1398750600,"text":"Solid platforming mechanics, wish I could've used a controller, but other than that the jumping felt very tight and the collision worked as expected. Some of the jumps were borderline challenging enough to make me quit, but a couple persistent attempts later and the feeling of accomplishment more than made up for the difficulty. So, I'd say the level design was pretty good in that regard.\r\rAt first it was very disorienting when you don't have enough sprites, but the mechanic of "managing" your sprites as though they were resources was actually pretty neat. Some secrets that only get revealed when you activate certain sprites would've been pretty neat.\r\r\rNow, for some nit-picky things. I wish I could've stretched the window and\/or full-screened the game. I kind of wish there were at least a few more levels, or that playing through the game again had some purpose other than experimenting with sprites (which, don't get me wrong, was still a pretty gratifying reward for completion). Multiple ending paths at the last level that reveal different sprites or something?\r\rNot sure what you're going with as far as theme here. I guess something along the lines of at first the game looks very barren until you attach sprites to things? Or is it something about "looking beneath the code?" Kind of a stretch, but that's fine, at least it was something different from all of the "underground" skinned games.\r\rOverall, very cute, fun little game. Absolutely loved the music, brought back fond memories of gameboy and nintendo games. Well done."},{"author_name":"awppy","author_uid":"18868","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 12:48pm","epoch":1398775380,"text":"@Fritzendugan: Thanks for the feedback and insight!
