Then to have that replaced with the wonderful feeling of accomplishment as you grasp the mechanics. Its just awesome!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Really great job! Will definitely keep playing it! :D"},{"author_name":"tauntButtered","author_uid":"91334","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 2:55am","epoch":1460947800,"text":"Nice cohesive art style, absolutely FANTASTIC level design, fits the theme well. Only thing that keeps it from a perfect score was the lack of music. I'd like to see this on Steam with more levels, you're really good at it!"},{"author_name":"dalbinblue","author_uid":"13960","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 12:09pm","epoch":1460981040,"text":"@tauntButtered I did want to put music in, but I was traveling most of the weekend, so something had to be cut unfortunately."},{"author_name":"lightsoda","author_uid":"19698","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 6:49pm","epoch":1461005040,"text":"Great mechanics, and good use of them.

Too bad you didn't have time to polish up the audio side of things more, though. That AHA moment when you first slinky up the stairs is great! :D"},{"author_name":"Freank","author_uid":"94168","time":"Apr 23, 2016 @ 5:58pm","epoch":1461433980,"text":"Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.\r<br\/>Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ?

The step-climbing animation is so adorable, it made me smile when I first saw it. I love the character's faces, too. The art is perfect.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The puzzle difficulty really surprised me. It ramped up really fast, and the levels demanded a lot of very precise planning or else you could easily get stuck. You're really forced to plan out your moves, unlike some other puzzle games where you only ever have to think 1 or 2 steps ahead and can just trial-and-error your way through. I enjoyed it, and managed to reach the end. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>As other comments have mentioned, the only issue is the lack of music. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyways, fun game! I'd love to see this released as a mobile game with a bunch of different levels."},{"author_name":"guoboism","author_uid":"24432","time":"Apr 26, 2016 @ 2:01am","epoch":1461635760,"text":"Best game played so far!
