The controls feel a bit stiff (-> you can only shoot when on ground). Good game overall."},{"author_name":"TheGamingProject","author_uid":"10740","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 2:58am","epoch":1335235980,"text":"I liked the platform design in particular. The animations and movements were fluid, but the inability to fire while moving was frustrating; this made climbing the stairs whilst blasting boulders difficult. Overall a fun game, but could use some polish."},{"author_name":"dansludumdare","author_uid":"10841","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 3:27am","epoch":1335237720,"text":"Did no one else get Sticky Keys acting up? I've never bothered disabling it.\r\rI agree about the no shoot while jumping thing feeling wrong. I ended up in a place where a yellow dude was blocking my path (upward) and there was nothing to do to get rid of him."},{"author_name":"dansludumdare","author_uid":"10841","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 3:27am","epoch":1335237720,"text":"To be clear, when you press shift 5 times in a row, the Sticky Key dialog pops up."},{"author_name":"murilo","author_uid":"6882","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 3:30am","epoch":1335237900,"text":"Yes, it needs more polish and all. The inability to shoot while moving and jumping really got me sad too! It was the next thing I was going to implement before I ran out of time. But expect a much better version on this game later. I'll upgrade it with more levels and moves. Thanks!"},{"author_name":"moop","author_uid":"2573","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 7:54pm","epoch":1335383340,"text":"Backgrounds were awesome.\rGame was fun if a little short.

The more obvious giant people in the back were also really nice.\r\rPlatforming was good but the part with the rocks got a tad unfair in my game since one boulder got stuck on the ledge I was supposed to wait on, so I had to just get hit by it to remove it before waiting for a good moment to cross. Luckily I had full health so I could take the hit and not die.\r\rNice little game! Hope you get time to polish it!"},{"author_name":"ehtd","author_uid":"11246","time":"Apr 29, 2012 @ 4:22pm","epoch":1335716220,"text":"I liked the background perspective, everything so giant, world so tiny."},{"author_name":"mooosh","author_uid":"6474","time":"Apr 30, 2012 @ 11:39pm","epoch":1335828840,"text":"awesome graphics! as others said, there were some bits with the rocks that got a little crazy."},{"author_name":"angrygeometry","author_uid":"5579","time":"May 2, 2012 @ 8:41pm","epoch":1335990960,"text":"really nailed the theme here. graphics were cool, the game itself was kind of frustrating! i'm bad at games though..."},{"author_name":"Super Soul","author_uid":"13112","time":"May 7, 2012 @ 8:42pm","epoch":1336423020,"text":"The scientist in the background walking around was great.

It's a little too short but I won't hold it against you for an LD entry :).\r\rLike others have said, the scientist in the background is brilliant and really gives you a sense of scale. I also wished you could shoot while jumping.\r\rI liked the in-game music. \r\rThe intro text should move slower. I couldn't get it all on the first viewing.\r\rThe graphics were a little ms-painty but I still liked them a lot :). My only complaint is that the laser effects seemed out-of-place with the rest of the graphics.\r\rOverall, +5, good job!"},{"author_name":"ericdpitts","author_uid":"6759","time":"May 11, 2012 @ 12:00am","epoch":1336694100,"text":"Ha, very cool graphics.

Regarding the frustrating parts, unfortunately there was no time to finish the bot moves and make more levels. But I already have a version where it can shoot, move and jump simultaneously.
