Last level was a bitch, but it felt so rewarding when I completed it
Great game. Didn't rate the sounds, everything else is 5.
I enjoyed it until I got to 'Tunneling' and then 'Infinite Gravity Well'. Those levels were too finicky and got less enjoyable pretty quickly. Adding the ability to skip a level or adding a bonus difficulty (e.g. getting through is easy, but getting all of the gems is hard) might help with that.
Good job overall, though!
Very good game, with a very solid game mechanic. I'm usually not that entertained by the really simple games - but this hit the nail on its head.
Just read te tip for level 10 , will have to play through again :)
Fun!
Nice polish. :)
The level infinite potential well is kinda hard though.
Sfx and music would have really added to it however, shame there isnt any.
One critique would be that the hit boxes of the spikes are a bit too big, well, they seem to be boxes instead of following the shape of the spikes. Also, maybe you should sacrifice some realism for fun by setting a maximum radius of influence, maybe even showing this graphically to make it easier for the player to see what's going on.
Very good entry!
Good game sir!
