Hopefully I'll have time to take it further eventually. There were good levels here, but I felt like the controls were pretty difficult, even though I understood that they were the thrusters. Having right turn you left and vice versa definitely took some getting used to. That said it was still a cool control style and the music was fun. :) Thanks for sharing and congrats on finishing!"},{"author_name":"mockthebear","author_uid":"16447","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 9:19pm","epoch":1450386840,"text":"Cool, you used emscripten too!\rI loved everything but the screne shake.

The music made me really have some fun with it and get into the silly mood. I got to a level however where you need to slip through a crack between the pink and normal tiles and then pick up a power up. Once you get that power up you then can't get back because you are too large which is frustrating. Also whilst your movement speed \/ force increases as you add parts, and you are adding mass, you never seem to fall as a realistic rate."},{"author_name":"SamH","author_uid":"26183","time":"Dec 24, 2015 @ 10:26am","epoch":1450952460,"text":"@Starspell that was a puzzle; you can press Escape to restart the level and try to solve it a different way."},{"author_name":"miwuc","author_uid":"6177","time":"Dec 24, 2015 @ 4:24pm","epoch":1450973940,"text":"Nice entry with potential.
