And very well designed level. I got to about 3:19 in your video. So pretty close. It would have been nice at that place to have some read hands attacking from the right too, to show that up was still the way to go. I hesitated, missed the jump and lost my final life.

Best use of theme I've seen so far. Perfect feeling of panic and haste.\r\rOh, at first I thought I had won, when in fact I had died. The message "This is the end, you only died X times" was not making it clear that there was more content. Only "smash jump furiously" gave that away.

I love how animated the world is, and together with the consistent style it makes the game look so good. The variety of shapes and level structure was also fantastic!

Everything blends together really well and it's got a crazy amount of polish to it.\r\rThe one tiny complaint I do have is that the camera could've been a bit more responsive IMO. Sometimes I had to make leaps of faith, unsure if there was a hazard below me or not. More often or not the camera actually did a great job at framing the scene like its own little work of art (especially those times when it'd zoom out), and the camera position didn't lead to any actual danger on my part, but making sure you can always see where the trajectory of a jump will land you would remove that feeling of unsureness and help the player focus on experiencing the beauty and adrenaline in this game."},{"author_name":"ButtonMasherBros","author_uid":"11937","time":"May 5, 2016 @ 5:00pm","epoch":1462467300,"text":"You have been featured on today's Ludum Dare to Believe!
