Except for the brown squares that show up. I don't get those, are they random? If so, it's super unfair, because you're never fast enough to dodge them should they choose to go your way.\r<br\/>As for the audio, the failure clip was a nice surprise... the first time around. It got annoying really fast, and at one point, I kept failing over and over near the start, and the sound clip kept overlapping itself, making a very loud and jarring noise.\r<br\/>The graphics are minimalistic, which is fine, but even very silly drawings would probably make it better. I say this mostly because it clashes with the detailed walls. At the very least, the water (I'm assuming?) could have some light blue ~ripples~; I think it'd be nice.\r<br\/>I liked the idea a fair bit, and the menus when quitting were nice, but the overall game needed more polish."},{"author_name":"jprogman","author_uid":"15225","time":"Dec 30, 2013 @ 4:39am","epoch":1388378040,"text":"The part where I dropped the soup made me chuckle a bit. :) \r<br\/>The third round has too many small passages that I had to move ultra-light so I don't collide."},{"author_name":"Moosefly","author_uid":"25343","time":"Jan 6, 2014 @ 1:45pm","epoch":1389015600,"text":"From the description and screenshot I would've thought it was an autoscroller.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Stopped playing after trying level 4 a few times, it just required way too much precision.
