Fun little game. And I did not have too much of a problem with the jumping mechanics. It was fun while it lasted. \rThe graphics are quite good, the theme approach is great. The audio was a bit to be wished for, but overall you did a good job.\rEspecially the whole setting gave it a good mood. It just was a bit short. But that's alright. Nice work and congratulations on finishing something."},{"author_name":"Cthu","author_uid":"18793","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 10:21pm","epoch":1355782560,"text":"Pretty fun game!"},{"author_name":"Smaxx","author_uid":"19197","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 11:25pm","epoch":1355786400,"text":"Nice little game. Only two small bits to complain: The clouds don't fit, they should be pixelated as well. Jumping is odd. When you bump your head, you still continue moving upwards (in case you move away from the obstacle). Plus it's easy to fall off a platform, when hitting the jump key too late."},{"author_name":"FinalMirage","author_uid":"5580","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 12:34am","epoch":1355790540,"text":"Fun little game to play through.

I was experimenting with custom fonts at the time, because I'd never done them before.\r\rFear was going to play a larger role in the game if I'd have been able to implement all the features I wanted. You would have been able to burn down houses, raid shops, etc. until your fear level reached a certain level, and then you could move on to the next town. It would be a method of creating a certain amount of destruction before you could continue.\r\rOf course, I ran out of time!"},{"author_name":"Philip Wagner","author_uid":"7224","time":"Dec 23, 2012 @ 3:13pm","epoch":1356275280,"text":"How can the king give me a promotion when I kill him?
