liked the text-based level and a lot of diversity in general.

Passed all levels with one breath! Couldn't find easter eggs though.

Awesome! Great idea for the theme. I liked how the later puzzles seemingly could be solved in a variety of ways, made it more of a physics based sandbox. Nice work!

Hello, guys! Thanks for all comments! We found a problem now: in some cases the first world is a little slow. If you can't jump over the spikes, please try to change web browser! Thanks!

Hello Pierrec!
I think you should try to play in another browser.

I really liked the first part where everything was made of text. You could make an awesome game entirely like that.

Good but don't use graphics from other peoples games in a LD... or even from other projects.

Never seen that before - the text based part could work quite well in a full game too!

The first part was awesome. I wish all game was like that.
After first level the game was rather boring then fun.

Can't get past the spikes either. There is just a black screen after that. Tried it on Firefox.

2 kyyrma: the aim of all levels - to kill the boss.

Nice moody puzzle game. I have to say I don't get why spikes don't hurt you from the right side in the first level.

Also the control is a bit sluggish and floaty for my tastes.

Very nice presentation and nicely unanticipated gameplay though.

Fun puzzles. Couldn't even get through the second one because the board you had to put in place would never go in but was fun nonetheless. Haven't played a puzzle game yet in this compo.

It took me quite a while to find out that I could move the spikes, lol. Nice puzzle game back some variety would have been good at the end

Cool idea, with the increasing art complexity - I really like the text level. The gameplay works well; the puzzles aren't particularly hard, but it's fun and rewarding. Good music, graphics and sound. Nice work!

Absolutely loved this game!!! And am in total agreement - the word art style is genius! I do love the evolution of the cow as well though :)
