Sometimes collisions with light cables seem not too much consistant. But despite of that the game is really funny and keeps you wanting to try it more and more times hehehe.

The tactile feel of the stomping is a really sweet mechanic and really rewarding. But-- I wanted much more to crush things, than to get really far in the level. I think an open world environment (or something closer to Super Mega Worm) would be better. :)"},{"author_name":"loren","author_uid":"17687","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 9:05pm","epoch":1355778000,"text":"Love those sound effects, great choice!"},{"author_name":"namuol","author_uid":"12236","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 10:39pm","epoch":1355783640,"text":"@drizzlybear -- totally. The game's design changed along the way and I didn't really have time to change the size of things.

It's interesting how at the same time you play a giant engine of destruction and it feels like you're learning to walk. Powerful and vulnerable -- very nice!
