Good job with the tutorial. With the level select screen you should be able to select a level without the mouse.

It's a bit annoying having to click on the level each time you want to restart. Especially if you want to put instadeath point at the starts of level. I stopped at lvl14 because of that...

I liked the energy-restriction- and wall-slide-mechanics a lot. Some levels were really hard, but thats cool. I can swear I could hear some levels say "You just startet this level? F*** you, you're dead already!" They were fun anyway :D The potato at the end looked a bit like...you know...meh, forget it... What I didn't like was the menu. If you don't let the user choose the level, don't make him have to click on the number. That mechanic is good, if you make past levels replayable. All in all awesome game!\r\rP.S.: Levels with lots of objects have made my machine drop some tears ;)"},{"author_name":"Mago","author_uid":"5227","time":"May 13, 2013 @ 8:13pm","epoch":1368475680,"text":"Nice ideas, with main concept and all power-ups\/traps."},{"author_name":"paulopn","author_uid":"21622","time":"May 14, 2013 @ 4:44am","epoch":1368506340,"text":"Very well made game, with some really cool mechanics. =D \rTwo small suggestions (IMHO, you may disagree =D ):\r1- Jumping over boxes currently requires a little too much precision from the player. Maybe if you just slightly increased the player's jumping height, it would work out better.\r\r2- Instead of having a long tutorial right of the bat, maybe you could introduce the mechanics throughout a longer section of the game, slowly. This gives you more space to explore every single mechanic and keeps the game fresh for the player for more time.\r\rGood job!"},{"author_name":"Dining Philosopher","author_uid":"18490","time":"May 19, 2013 @ 11:07am","epoch":1368961320,"text":"Nice game!

Couldn't make it past level 13, the wall slides are confusing, and the arrows move me around too much to have precise control over my character.\rI think the platforming part is too difficult, and feels unfair and over-frustrating most of the time.\rSome pastel-colors for the graphics would've help, too. High-contrast colors can wear eyes a bit.\rHopefully I'm not being to harsh! It's really hard to get platforming right on the first try.
