If this had been entered in last year's "alone" theme it would have been spot on - I gave you full points for mood though, because the thought bubbles had me both saddened ("I should call her") and chuckling (i think you can guess which one) within minutes of eachother."},{"author_name":"pjchardt","author_uid":"13158","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 9:35pm","epoch":1335303000,"text":"Glad you liked it, thanks for the kind words. As for the size of the world: we wanted a large world that the player only had limited time in, so that a lack of time to fully explore created a "tiny world" unique to the player. Looking back we should have given the player less time to explore, making the experience more compact."},{"author_name":"aeveis","author_uid":"8854","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 10:54pm","epoch":1335394140,"text":"very nice, the world really does feel really big. The visual effect when the color starts overlapping is also very interesting. I was able to endlessly fall off the world near the beginning from some platforms on the right, and there was a place where i couldn't get out of because i couldn't jump high enough and the mushroom didn't propel me high enough either. Overall nice nice mood and interesting take on theme."},{"author_name":"vilya","author_uid":"10456","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 10:55pm","epoch":1335394200,"text":"I couldn't get the game to run on Windows 7 (64-bit) - got a crash on startup every time.

Love the art style, the 'story'. However there are some collision errors that made the platforming pretty annoying and if the player stands on certain slanted platforms they will start to rotate at a speed faster then then the framerate leading to skipping.
