Definitely one of my favourite games in the jam. I'm glad I persisted with the Final Exam level, it was a surprise to see the boss, who was awesome.\r\rThe whole mechanic is really very cool, I like how you can build momentum and then use it to 'fling' yourself around half the level. The level design was very good, and explored a lot of cool implications of the mechanic.\r\rOverall, really great job. Loved it! :D"},{"author_name":"Lidfrid","author_uid":"12884","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 3:43pm","epoch":1335541080,"text":"Cool idea!\rThe retry button breaks the flow of the game.
