That makes it especially difficult in the beginning and it gets a little frustrating. The camera movement takes a little getting used to, because its really quick, but one gets used to it.\nAfter that, its really pretty fun and challenging!\nI also love the fact that its not just about agility and control but also about a little bit of tactic. Choosing a leader and choosing the number of characters you take with you can be very helpful.\nAnd the ending made me chuckle :D\n\nI would like to see the game with some background, some music and as many levels and challenges as possible. Maybe movable objects that can kick you off or something. Its a really great idea for a game and from this point, it can basically grow in any direction! Loved it!\n\nOne more thing. While I did enjoy the game, it did seem to have a little graphics bug. I played the web version of the game on firefox and the floor was more or less invisible. The top sides of the squares the floors are made of hade an invisible top side. So basically I had to hold the camera at an angle, to even see the floors. Looking from above, they were allmost completly invisible.\nRunning on Windows 10, Firefox.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Taiku","author_uid":"1059560","time":"2017-12-05T01:41:24Z","epoch":1512438084,"modified":1512438084,"text":"Thanks for the feedback @mrnyarlathotep and @smogen!

I liked the unforgiving penalties for any mistakes, but you could perhaps introduce some more interesting mechanisms.
