I liked seeing the two world's side by side. The game seemed pretty slow moving though, either it was lagging on my computer or the jump and movement controls are very slow. Also I found there was some dodgy collision detection going on with some of the platforms, the rope and the button. A more in depth tutorial would have been nice too.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall I really liked the idea and the world, the characters are great. Just wished the experience had tighter controls."},{"author_name":"zlowrance","author_uid":"21441","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 8:36pm","epoch":1377721860,"text":"Great idea but I had trouble playing it =\/ i switched to skeleton but it looked like he was just stuck on spikes"},{"author_name":"deepnight","author_uid":"2982","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 8:36pm","epoch":1377721860,"text":"The idea is really interesting but I don't think the Y axis inversion was necessary here.
