Beautifuly executed both visualy and in terms of gameplay !
I had a bit of trouble on some jump combos, but that was to be expected of a puzzle game.
Very nice job !
The air controls could use some work and make some sections more difficult than they should be. But apart from that, very cool game, good job!
Interesting approach to the theme. I liked the implementation of the mechanics and the strategy element of the bounces.
Well done!
The graphics were really good and worked well. The temple was well realized and I enjoyed the senators just sitting around and chatting while the entire temple was collapsing. I also agree that Gaius' wife looks like a horse.
