It was a little too hard for me (I gave up on the last level, the Gauntlet) but I liked some of the ideas and you had some cool stuff going on with the messages\/narration. Some thoughts:\r\r1. Some of the tests are a little too tight (the second level is very hard even though it's the first one you can die on.\r\r2. If you die with the red powerup, you still have it when you respawn, don't know if that's a bug.\r\rNice game!

Relieved some of the angst of getting clobbered by a speed block i never saw coming.\r\rGood level. I kept playing. The voice in my head pulled me through because I wanted to know what would happen next. It gave a narrative to your game... made me form a relationship.\r\rThe gauntlet was maddening but you'd already established the quality of the game so I was willing to push through. That's rare for me (I really value my time) so you did something right.\r\rGraphics were clean and appropriate to the theme. Music was appropriate as well.\r\rGood work."},{"author_name":"Michael Hall","author_uid":"20062","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 9:04pm","epoch":1367269140,"text":"Wow, really polished and the game looks and feels great.
