First of all, the music is amazing. Yeah the collision is a bit wonky, but I think it added to the fun and challenge of the game. I had to figure out how the collision works and how to use it to my advantage in order to beat it. The game is a bit short, but it's the Ludum Dare, so that is usual. What is with the hearts though? The lava kills you in one hit, haha. The pixel graphics are charming, but I don't think the lava fits in very well with the other artwork. Overall, nice job!"},{"author_name":"blay09","author_uid":"16114","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 9:15am","epoch":1377681000,"text":"Nice music."},{"author_name":"Typedeaf","author_uid":"18950","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 9:37am","epoch":1377682320,"text":"This game has a very nice gameplay idea, but sadly i couldn't jump that well which made it kind of annoying cause i died because of it.

As a critique, I think having to let up on movement just to jump is really frustrating and unintuitive; I think allowing the player to jump and move at the same time would help a lot.
