Pit the weak monster against the invincible player is really interesting.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'm not sure what the end goal was, but exploring that theme more, maybe with you being one of many easily disposed monsters, suffering more humiliation at the hands of the player, the player easily respawning while you get a game over screen. Something like that might have added to it a bit more.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good job!"},{"author_name":"g_o","author_uid":"24655","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 12:42pm","epoch":1440419820,"text":"@McFood thanks =] !\r<br\/>It's a puzzle platformer so part of the game is figuring out what to do.

Blender has been used wonderfully to make this. First off some tips:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The camera movement was a little hard.\r<br\/>You should add a &quot;Slow Parent&quot; to the camera object. It makes the camera lag behind so it looks better.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>WOrk on animations :D Great little game.

Similar problems poped up with some objects and so when I redesigned levels it blocked the camera view (I think there are still some small traces of that) so you see.. I forogot about it in the sea of bugs, it was luxury, and unfortunately I had no time for luxury until the very last minute so...\r<br\/>Thanks so much for playing :) !"},{"author_name":"FloatingGhost","author_uid":"20843","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 3:07pm","epoch":1440428520,"text":"The turning is a bit too fast, nice otherwise"},{"author_name":"g_o","author_uid":"24655","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 3:11pm","epoch":1440428760,"text":"@FloatingGhost: I agree =]\r<br\/>Thanks for playing :)"},{"author_name":"Josho","author_uid":"53958","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 3:45pm","epoch":1440430800,"text":"I was not able to run the game im on windows 10 if that helps"},{"author_name":"g_o","author_uid":"24655","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 4:05pm","epoch":1440432000,"text":"@Josho: that's probably a compatibility issue and pretty much expected from a new microsoft OS.
