Loved the tight graphics and level progression.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Just feels like it needs something extra.  An umbrella glide, maybe?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Congrats on submitting!"},{"author_name":"Endurion","author_uid":"103","time":"May 7, 2011 @ 6:08pm","epoch":1304791380,"text":"Very nice!\r<br\/>I love the background story. Plays quite nice and has a neat menu system built around. Sometimes arrows seem to come from the sky with no chance for me to react. The increasingly nasty arrow attacks are well done.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Really nice. I would've loved a bigger display window though."},{"author_name":"shiftingParadigms","author_uid":"4002","time":"May 8, 2011 @ 2:29am","epoch":1304821440,"text":"Cute game, really nifty idea, I have to agree that I would like to glide when the the umbrella is above you.  It give you an incentive to move it instead of just setting it behind you.  Great job :)"},{"author_name":"jfroco","author_uid":"2085","time":"May 9, 2011 @ 3:53am","epoch":1304912880,"text":"Interesting gameplay and graphics.

The homebrew thing didn't pan out, went with regular Game Maker instead.  It's no masterpiece, but I'd like to point out that I was handicapped by a lack of experience, caffeine, and alcohol.\r\n\r\nThis is just a simple platformer, with randomly-generated terrain.  You block arrows using your umbrella as a shield.  A couple of hidden goodies, but nothing too deep.\r\n\r\nUsed Game Maker 7, sfxr, GraphicsGale.  Game uses registries.\r\n\r\nSource gmk: <\/p>","title":"Stalwart Umbrella Chronicles"}
