I really like the cheesy jokes :D It took me way too much time (~10s) to get the bug-joke...\r<br\/>I really tried hard to beat the game and I'm sorry to say that but level 13 finally made me quit :( Please don't be offended, but the collisiondetection is a pain...

It was a pain, it still is a pain and it's massively better than it used to be (if you can believe that).\r<br\/>The level design on that one isn't that great either but the problem popped up later than the level... well, yeah.

I do however have a few criticisms that I hope may help in some capacitance :) I find it very frustrating when I play the game with the keyboard and have to use the mouse to select levels. Are there keyboard controls on the menu?  I find it frustrating and colors my entire experience.  I think this is a usability issue, one that is easy to fix but should not be underestimated as to its importance. My other comment is that I have a hard time distinguishing important and unimportant objects in the scene. As the levels progressed things cluttered to the point where it was hard to read a level, and deciphering dangers, objectives etc. became increasingly confusing.  Considering this is a one screen platformer with puzzles, I suggest working more on a visual design driven by readability.  I do enjoy the tone and tongue in cheek humor :) Hope my comments help.  Good luck!"},{"author_name":"BluMist","author_uid":"29261","time":"Jan 4, 2014 @ 4:51pm","epoch":1388853960,"text":"Off the charts humor on this one.

We tested on Firefox and Chrome (IE might not work).\r\nIn case you can not do the jump on level 3, try it from the 2nd stair and press jump before moving to the side, it works the most that way.\r\n\r\nWASD to move, SPACE to use cable, R to restart level.
