Next time, consider a resolution like 640x480. Also, the jumping mechanic needs work. Why does he need to be touching the ground in order to jump, or at least fall so slowly? The idea is good though, and it IS addicting somewhat... Maybe something to think about expanding upon after the competition?"},{"author_name":"Pitzik4","author_uid":"8883","time":"Dec 19, 2011 @ 5:32am","epoch":1324272420,"text":"Right-click on the game and do &quot;Show all&quot; to see the whole thing... At least that's what I did. This game is pretty cool, but I think it could use more types of cavemen. For example, ones that take two hits to kill, or ones that have bows. Also, it annoys me how there's a lives system that doesn't do anything... It resets the game completely, I might as well reload the page! And finally, I must say the jumping is terrible! It's like something out of a Scratch game (go to scratch.mit.edu), and a bad one at that.\r<br\/>Sorry for the purely negative feedback - trust me, this is the kind of feedback I always give: long and full of complaints.
