Needs a door sprite, walking into a wall didn't make much sense. AI is basic, but it works, perhaps consider using RAIN pathfinding. Next time make sure to give the text a black outline so we can see it over most of the game."},{"author_name":"zebi24","author_uid":"28347","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 1:03pm","epoch":1387198680,"text":"@BraindeadGeo: Awesome!

I was aware of that bug but I thought I fixed it... I guess I thought wrong... :\/ \r<br\/>\r<br\/>@ Udell Games: Thanks bro! All of your comments are on very solid ground.

I very much enjoyed the controls, and for how simple they are they were pretty unique. It was surprisingly difficult too. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I had to use the downloadable version because in the web version I could only move Left? Chrome - OSX 10.8.5 I reloaded a few times, but that doesn't make much sense given it's unity and it worked in the standalone.
