I enjoyed the fluid control and was able to quickly get antiquated with how to play. I had no idea you could glide on my first run, though.\r\rWhat really made me mad about it was the fact that the game restarts upon death\/running out of time. I didn't manage to beat the third level because of this.\r\rThe theme application was a little weak; especially coming off of a ludum dare themed "10 seconds".

The jumping mechanic is really smooth and gives you good control. The main character is nicely done and suits the rest of the game. Good music. The timer makes some of the levels hard but not too bad. I like having the melee and arrow attacks."},{"author_name":"ekun","author_uid":"3876","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 3:35am","epoch":1387164600,"text":"Nice game, solid mechanics.\r\rI feel like the level design couldv'e used a little more work though, some of the jumps were frustrating because of blocks directly over the jump ledge.\r\rGood job!"},{"author_name":"sknoslo","author_uid":"14586","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 3:52am","epoch":1387165620,"text":"The JAR works fine on Linux too, just so you know. One of my biggest pet peeves in platformers is when the character stops moving horizontally while in the air if the keys are let go, but once I got over that, I enjoyed it! The controls, specifically pressing space to jump and e to glide, was kind of weird ergonomically. Good work though!"},{"author_name":"ENDESGA","author_uid":"19270","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 3:57am","epoch":1387165920,"text":"Solid platform engine, very nice :)\rLevel design is a tad weak, but cool nonetheless"},{"author_name":"Kruithne","author_uid":"31479","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 4:18am","epoch":1387167180,"text":"Nice art, nice sound; all together a nice little game.

Bounding boxes of objects (maybe just of hero?) are just too big and they prevent smooth moving imho. Maybe adding some speed would make some job too..

There's a weird bug letting you fire multiple arrows without cooldown and sometime I get stuck on loading black screen of the level 1B When I restart.\r\rFor controls you could have get rid of this E key by just letting the player hold jump (spacebar) while jumping to slow down.\r\rI wish I could reach other levels to fight ennemies, dont know why I can't pass this level 1B, maybe I miss something."},{"author_name":"SoumyaXeored","author_uid":"31681","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 3:32am","epoch":1387250820,"text":"Great platformer!

The floating mechanic was just bizarre, and the jump that shows you to press the 'e' key doesn't even require you to use float, so I didn't even figure out at that point that it did anything. Would have been much nicer to make holding space be the float.\r\rThe theme being tacked on as "only get one minute" was really weak, honestly it makes the game punishing and you'd have had a better game without it.\r\rStill, controls aside from 'e' were solid, and the art style was light and cartoony so nice job there."},{"author_name":"euske","author_uid":"17675","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 1:43pm","epoch":1387373880,"text":"The game was well made, and I liked the last twist.
