The level design is great and gets really interesting on level 3.

Due to your feedback I will of course take it under consideration and think a bit about it. \r<br\/>But what makes you really faster in my opinion is moving diagonally(cause a^2 + b^2 = c^2). It was actually intended not to set any boundaries to diagonal speed, but apparently it makes you a little too fast ;)\r<br\/>Second: Yeah, the levels are obviously a little too hard for test playing, but since I kind of played the levels like felt 100 times I considered them to be even too easy for some people :D\r<br\/>In near future I will try to add more levels and easier ones for the beginning."},{"author_name":"mutuware","author_uid":"14635","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 6:31pm","epoch":1377714360,"text":"Quite fun!
