Some nice touches in animation, for instance looking over his shoulder when pulling.\r<br\/>To be honest I: for me there were to many keys to press in the right order, so I didn't get very far (maybe a 360 controller makes it easier or maybe I'm just terrible at this).\r<br\/>But I can see from the comments that there are enough people who can do it:)"},{"author_name":"TeamFlare","author_uid":"25793","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 5:55pm","epoch":1387389000,"text":"Very funny and complete game.

Basically in my first LD nobody read the text instructions, and so ended up missing all the interesting bits of the game. This was quite upsetting, so I vowed from that day forward to try and have decent tutorials. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>@colapsydo - I'm glad you enjoyed the monster sprites, I made them on a spreadsheet in Excel, just out of normal autoshapes. I made all the graphics this way. \r<br\/>I don't consider myself good at art, so the encouragement is genuinely a great confidence boost, thanks everyone.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Congratulations to the people who made the jumps, especially with a keyboard. I know that the whole game was much easier with a control pad. I wanted to have the little guy dance when he was up there, I had an animation but didn't have time to put it in :("},{"author_name":"Kayelgee","author_uid":"15267","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 1:03am","epoch":1387414680,"text":"Really nice game and nice controls.
