The line between too slow and too fast is too small. Also, I don't know how to get to the three coins on the start bottom right.

I gather from other comments and from the screenshot that there are supposed to be images? For me the only things visible were the player and the coins, which makes an apparently already hard game very nearly impossible. Only absolute trial and error could even tell me where the floor was. Windows package version, by the way."},{"author_name":"henry_v","author_uid":"3301","time":"Dec 26, 2010 @ 8:19pm","epoch":1293394440,"text":"Well I didn't quite get the point of the game... Also didn't help that I couldn't see the floor at all.

I found the game quite fun - it wasn't hugely different from the process of learning a difficult level in a typical platformer, and the rolling inertia gave the whole thing an extra edge."}],"images":["ld19\/2520-8f3063b3816c5d9a8b89455ec4862e00.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/gashlin.net\/games\/ld19\/hcs-ld19-r10.zip","text":"Multiplatform"},{"url":"http:\/\/gashlin.net\/games\/ld19\/hcs-ld19-r10-win.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/gashlin.net\/games\/ld19\/ld19-r10-src.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"33283","g_author":"2520","g_event":"LD19","g_eventkey":"5","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"33313","g_title":"Glassbox","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"200","g_commentcount":"13","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/33232\/2520-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"A platformer made with collage.
