Solid controls in my opinion! I really liked the graphical style and the gameplay mechanics. I played through the whole game and it did have some pretty tricky spots. Too bad it didn't have any sound, I think it would have completed the game and helped a lot with the mood and setting. One thing that put me off was the &quot;curse&quot; words on the first level where you use mirrors. Not that I don't curse haha, but I just thought that with the player being a gentleman with a top hat set in a whimsical world it just didn't add anything to the feel of the game, and perhaps it worked a bit against it. Other than that it's a solid game with interesting and challenging gameplay!"},{"author_name":"keenblaze","author_uid":"5729","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 1:58pm","epoch":1335448380,"text":"Thank you guys for the feedback! \r<br\/>\r<br\/>&gt;Jiddo\r<br\/>I wrote these monologues in an hour before the deadline, so they express my mood :)"},{"author_name":"R3ason","author_uid":"6105","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 6:35am","epoch":1335508200,"text":"I pressed &quot;D&quot;...

Only issues I had were some problems jumping right at the edge of a block (felt like if I wasn't COMPLETELY on the block it wouldn't jump?). \r<br\/>Challenge level felt right to me, but I made a puzzle-platformer too, so maybe it's on the harder side. \r<br\/>Wish you could remove mirrors without touching them, but I realise that'd break most of the level designs.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>GREAT job foreshadowing the last puzzle, by the way.

Made me wonder how it will feel with sound. Maybe a visual aid or tutorial on how you can combine or match the mirrors would be great, because there was a point in which I was just randomly jumping and trying luck. But just as it is I can totally see it in the future as an AppStore game or something like that. Overall looks really taken care of, the color palette is really attractive and sets a really nice mood. And the character is simply adorable.

Very interesting mechanic! \r<br\/>\r<br\/>The first time I played the last level I got stuck and accidentally completed it without understanding it first. Maybe you could help the player to get the insight of how to solve it easier somehow. The concept used there was just demonstrated once before early in the game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>There was a few glitches where the mirror would become unsynced or the &quot;mirror of a mirror&quot; would not disappear when I removed the first mirror (this was in the last level).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>But those are just nitpicks, great job!"},{"author_name":"keenblaze","author_uid":"5729","time":"May 5, 2012 @ 1:16pm","epoch":1336223460,"text":"Thank you, Danik!
