Zoom in a lot and scroll the screen. That would give it a a real classic game boy-esque feel Also, use better fonts and add music that fits at the very least use an auto-tracker if you run out of time.\r\rGood job.\r\rThanks for this."},{"author_name":"RadthorDax","author_uid":"12627","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 1:48am","epoch":1335404580,"text":"A randomly generated island, and some background music would have done wonders! However, the difficulty of them always being on your trail was interesting. Made turning corners and navigating the trees dangerous activities! Im not sure the chests should have been collidable though. a few times they boxed me in around the chest and began the slaugherfest!"},{"author_name":"feyleaf","author_uid":"3375","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 2:20am","epoch":1335406500,"text":"Good job!

It had a slapstick-ish, Benny Hill-esque feel to it!
