On one hand this game is so cheesy but on the other hand I actually found myself smiling and laughing the whole way. At the end of the day I enjoyed playing this! Thanks for the submission. I have one question though, is the game looping on itself? I went through a green portal and I seem to have returned to an earlier level. Can this game be finished?","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"GeraldFIngBurke","author_uid":"1035236","time":"2020-10-05T21:00:22Z","epoch":1601931622,"modified":1601931622,"text":"Excellent work!

Yes! You can beat the game.

The puzzles were pretty cool, the platforming was tricky but not impossible, the sound is pretty good. \nI did notice that it was faster to move forward while strafing, if you wanna check that out. \nIt'd also be cool to have some confirmation in game on what things do, like those glowing platforms and such.\nOther than that, good game!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"PeachTreeOath","author_uid":"1006470","time":"2020-10-08T08:48:07Z","epoch":1602146887,"modified":1602146887,"text":"Very good theming, I certainly felt the despair of being in the labyrinth, especially after I cleared a loop the first time. One thing I liked was the variety in the maps. One of my first thoughts was \"ok, that was a neat maze, but I don't know how many more mazes I can take\". But then in the 2nd one you introduce jumping puzzles right away, you read my mind.\n\nIdk if other people know this but if you hold down shift, you get a run of sorts. This helps a LOT with the speed of the game, especially in later loops when you already know the general way to go. Nice touch.\n\nUltimately I couldn't find the 3rd shape, I was missing the triangle. I thiiiink it had to do with the sign that said \"this is not the right way\" but I didn't know how to get to the ledge. That sign could've been true for all I know lol.\n\nEither way, it's a nice little world you built, I would've loved to beat it and shut Zog up!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"ProbeProb","author_uid":"1214028","time":"2020-10-10T19:02:02Z","epoch":1602356522,"modified":1602356522,"text":"Fantastic game, first I overlooked the cube.
