Very cute graphics and nice music to score a fraught but contemplative journey. Disliked the spike segments; took a break after the second savepoint (after spikes were introduced; the one with moving platforms). Could really do with floppy disks on each of the spike screens; since spikes can only be discovered when in really close proximity, encountering them on moving platforms feels (to me) unfair. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Bug: if the player does nothing after falling, they will be unable to restart, as the restart button seems to require a savepoint to have been activated."},{"author_name":"tony.pe","author_uid":"11037","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 10:06pm","epoch":1377554460,"text":"This is easily my favorite entry so far. The level design\/mechanics are in perfect harmony with the aesthetics and it makes for a really great experience. Well done.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'd love to download the source for this, but it's asking me for a username\/pw when I try to download it :("},{"author_name":"Sink","author_uid":"26274","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 10:25pm","epoch":1377555600,"text":"Thank you so much!

Unfortunately I think the time limit made me rush and get all nervous, and subsequently I died a lot. I think if it was either the jumping\/darkness or the jumping\/time it would have been fine but putting it all together taxed my patience.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I would have liked more checkpoints for weak and impatient players like me!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good mood and atmosphere though.

It reminds me a lot of vvvvvv in a very good way! The visual style is very simple but very effective.

The character graphics were really cute, and the game was a good length. Boss battle was fun. The stage right before that was kind of frustrating, but I did want to beat it and I was relieved that it didn't get more difficult than that. :) I did feel like the horizontal movement of the bulb should be a little higher...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Bug: If, right after falling from the socket, you let time run out instead of getting the disk, you can't play at all. I of course did this."},{"author_name":"Sink","author_uid":"26274","time":"Aug 31, 2013 @ 3:40am","epoch":1377920100,"text":"Thanks a bunch for your input!
