I don't need to say anything about this... well actually I do because some people may have older versions of Wine and be unable to play it (Game Maker @_@). You start without being able to see and then you discover how to see and stuff like that.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Fun... This game has just inspired me to make more puzzle-platformers. I really, really liked this game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Theme. You've hit this one on the nail.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Graphics are there and they work... and they work quite well. There's still room for improvement, but they're pretty good for what they are.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I liked the music, though it could possibly be a bit fuller. I have not penalised you for the fact that it doesn't loop properly under Wine, because that is a bug in Wine and not your game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Humour is there, and it's fairly light-hearted. It made me smile.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>But yeah, THIS GAME IS AWESOME GO PLAY IT (and if you can't, I'd be very keen to port this to or extend the idea on not-windows)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Community...

This is entertaining for quite a while. Running around the level starts to feel a bit tedious though, perhaps the dash should be more easily activated (e.g. doubletapping left\/right?). Didn't play all of it since there's a nasty bug which hit me at least twice, which sometimes makes the guy just stuck to a tile and no way to move anywhere anymore (when stuck, pressing up will trigger a sound rapidly)."},{"author_name":"philomory","author_uid":"1112","time":"Dec 26, 2010 @ 9:17pm","epoch":1293397920,"text":"Very nice, I especially loved the beginning, where the discoveries came fairly rapid-fire.

I was very sad when it ended, not just because of the disc. I want to keep playing. Reminded me of VVVVVV in a good way.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It's neat because a handful of games decided to use a similar mechanic (discovering game abilities), it's cool to see how they each handled them differently.
