Nice job on that atmosphere. I found it a little hard to dodge the incoming rocks though.

That being said I found the controls really imprecise. I don't know if it is this way to make it more realistic but the thing is I wasn't able to get much farther than where you get the illumination."},{"author_name":"Khaldrin","author_uid":"21078","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 6:00pm","epoch":1398707700,"text":"The controls need improvement - sometimes colliding with a rock is unavoidable due to the response behavior of the player.
