I was frustrated especially by level two and the controls not being a direct map from the arrow pad.  I was also frustrated at the lack of control precision and some of the pixel-perfect platforming, especially long sequences of exacting jumps.  I like your graphics, except for the pelican. They seem to fit the concept well, but some animation would be nice.  Music was good, but seemed too loud, could use some sfx too.  Overall, I like the sense of whimsy and abandon, the game defies expectations but could use a little polish. :)"},{"author_name":"LD_LAN_Party","author_uid":"26312","time":"Dec 21, 2013 @ 1:20am","epoch":1387588500,"text":"I like turtles..."},{"author_name":"JohnnySix","author_uid":"20903","time":"Dec 26, 2013 @ 10:51pm","epoch":1388097960,"text":"It escalated quickly - nice concept, the turtle was hard to control in places, especially once things got the switcheroo on the controls. He moved rather fast and slippy for a turtle. Challenging and fun though! \r<br\/>[Spoiler ] It was a somewhat unsatisfying ending, there needed to be some closure with the Pelican.
