Taking the first jump, you can move as the player fades on falling into a hole.  I was able to grab the last piece and hit the finish before it faded out, putting me into level 2.\r<br\/>Definitely agree that restarting completely is a bit harsh, especially since some of the levels could get you into situations where there was no way to complete it if you made a wrong move.  Other than that, quite a fun game. Good work!"},{"author_name":"dekart","author_uid":"14826","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 6:54pm","epoch":1387306140,"text":"I really like it, it's pretty simple and yet challenging.

Some of the puzzles were really good others were odd and easy seems like 20 levels was a bit too much for the mechanics available. Restarting from the beginning is an odd choice especially in a puzzlegame since when you have a solution it will work 100% of the time.

Like some others have said it's *far* too frustrating to take the player right back to the start of the game if they put a foot wrong. Some audio wouldn't go amiss and the only other thing I'd highlight is the jump animation feels too slow (sure, it's 'low gravity' space themed but once you've seen the jump a couple of times it starts to get annoying when it takes so long to move just two tiles)"}],"images":["ld28\/12355-71bf24e0cd8877a68b5030dc45090f03.jpg","ld28\/12355-a620f288659cbf9caaa16a7655bde1b9.jpg","ld28\/12355-356674b3fbd13378cc80fb4fba77e03f.jpg","ld28\/12355-11d1a5671ff0e4fb905bddba6045fe08.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/markdooney.com\/ludumdare\/28","text":"web + mobile + tablet"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/desmarkie\/LD28","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"21197","g_author":"12355","g_event":"LD28","g_eventkey":"20","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"21226","g_title":"You only get one.....life","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"539","g_commentcount":"15","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/12355-shot0.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/12355-shot1.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/12355-shot2.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/12355-shot3.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"A quick and simple puzzle game.\r\n\r\nUnlock each exit by collecting all the orbs present in the level and make your way there to progress.\r\n\r\nTry to get a green light on each level, I won't tell you how, but it should be easy to spot ;-)\r\n\r\nOh, and you only get one life.
