It is amazing that this game was made in a 48-hour event. The level of detailment and the solidness shows you were able to manage the project very well. I hope I'll be able to make games this well-polished in the future. \r\rAs far as I know, platforming puzzles with multiple levels like this usually take a lot of time to make, but you managed not only to do all the programming and art but also made quite aa variety of clever level designs. I think there's not a single level that felt unnecessary for the pacing or stupid, which is rare nowadays even in commercial games. \r\rIt definitely looks like a game I'd pay to play, so I couldn't help but feel like there should be more levels and infinite x more weapons, as if I had forgotten it was actually made for a 48-hour competition. \r\rIn my first playthrough I found the last level too easy compared to the precious ones and felt a little disappointed. But weirdly enough, I played the game again in order to rate it and I got stuck in that level, falling for both of the traps you laid involving explosive boxes.\r\rAs a closing comment, a longer version of the game with more guns would be awesome (especially if it had a teleport gun =P) The only thing I didn't like was that the "Tiny World" theme could have been better explored. Except for that, the game is 10\/10!"},{"author_name":"chambers","author_uid":"11981","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 8:59am","epoch":1335257640,"text":"Also, funny thing you mentioned Goof Troop.
