With the player being the same size as the grid, this means that it's difficult to squeeze into tight corridors, which lead to a lot of frustration, given how often they're used. Either make the player a lot smaller or lock their movement to the grid.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think the game would have also benefited from making the burgers wear off with movement rather than with time. It makes more sense thematically, and it'd allow for tighter, more intellectually challenging puzzles, rather than the current battle with the game's movement system not to push the rock too far or not far enough before the timer runs out.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The level editor is a nice touch but with the mechanics as they are the platform's not really suited for a lot of good levels."},{"author_name":"GAFBlizzard","author_uid":"12278","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 10:31am","epoch":1460975160,"text":"I won.

You can just start the stone at the second burger and do the level that way.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It was fun enough for a little bit, but when the puzzles started to depend more on timing than logical thinking the awkward movement system that everyone's complaining about really got in the way.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Funny enough, I loved the saying-things-into-a-mic audio style.

I've played a few games like this before, so kinda knew what to expect, but I think you introduced the puzzle elements in a way that allows the player to figure things out pretty well.  The limited time to move the boulders while beefed up from the hamburger made it especially challenging.  \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Most games of this type just let you move the rocks, but not pull them, so if you push it against a wall that you can't pull it away from, you get stuck.  Here, you can get stuck that way, or by running out of hamburger time.

Occasionally, a sound got in loop. The hitboxes are insane, indeed. Quick movement is very risky yet needed to pass the levels. I like how the fat-shape time equals the nomnom, makes it possible to predict how much time is left. The doors seem to move you when they close if you're not centered enough, so you lose precious time because you have to move a more. The level editor is really cool and works well. I'm not quite sure how to play the levels using the ID, though.
