I got frustrated pretty early on, and found the game quite unoriginal, but then...
Sorry folks, I'm not going to spoil it for you guys YOU HAVE TO PLAY THIS!!!
Amazing level design, great audio!
Seriously missed the mark on this one.
Took me a good 100 deaths to finish. :)
The first two times I ran the game I couldn't quit aside from killing the process, hah. It wouldn't recognize me pressing the ESC key until I did "run as administrator". So that was kinda painful. Once I read the comments here and figured out what was supposed to happen, I got it to work and then it was cool.
Hated controls a little... Hate when I do press a button but it does not react ;(
Pretty awesome, too bad it didn't work the first time and had to get spoiled for me or I'm sure it would have been even better.
I do recognize the general concept of playing in this kind of "environment", not sure if it's from something you've also encountered but it is definitely charming to us programmer types. The presentation is very good and the gameplay mostly smooth. I particularly like the well-balanced jump arc which is intuitive and easy to control without too many failed attempts. However, the thing that almost got me properly upset was a tendency to miss jump key presses. You should really generate a jump if the button was pressed before landing and held down, otherwise you're forced to deliberately delay your jump action until right after you've landed, which might be too late since the character also has a tendency to drop off a platform sooner than you expect. This was particularly hurtful in the room with tons of spikes above and several tiny platforms. Teeth were gnashed.
Overall a nice other-worldly experience though. Thank you :)
*ESC* -> *YES*
"....wtf?"
"Could it be? ..oh it moves. Could it be a bug??"
"Oh oh.. omg! This is awesome! I've been tricked. Hahaha."
Awesome! Best experience of all the ld21 games till now!
