I didn't like having to use space as the respawn button, because it meant each jump would be a little shorter.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It's a very innovative design that turns into an overly-difficult game.

A few suggestions:\r<br\/>-If the platform is destroyed after a certain time give clear visual\/audio feedback as to when this will happen and then again when it does happen.\r<br\/>-There is no info that the mouse looks.  I did not realize this for several levels.\r<br\/>-Sometimes I could not place another platform.  Indicate why both in info and with audio\/visual feedback. If it is because I am inside an area that prevents me, indicate this on screen with a palette swap or something else.\r<br\/>-When I place a platform play an positive sound.\r<br\/>-If I try to place a platform but cannot, indicate this with a negative sound.\r<br\/>Just a few ideas I have off the top of my head. Hope they help.
