The graphics are nice and work very well and the music is awesome. Made even more awesome by the fact that almost each area has its own piece of music. The controls are nice and fluid and the level design, besides being a tad on the simple side worked. It lacked some polish though. Minor bugs can be found here and there but for a game made in such a short time that is understandable. However, I also encountered some more major bugs such as the E key bugging out and not registering and being knocked inside a wall by an enemy and falling into oblivion with the only option being a restart. Other than that, a very solid entry!"},{"author_name":"freaknarf","author_uid":"46874","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 10:03am","epoch":1440496680,"text":"Nice game ! Good graphics, good tunes, good story :)\r<br\/>Great job with art and well packaged and polished !\r<br\/>I had my E key bugged that stucked me at the begining, and after a restart it was ok. Maybe the very first level was skipped on the way back... \r<br\/>Nice job too with intentional glitches and shader use :) Great!"},{"author_name":"chuckeles","author_uid":"33094","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 10:32am","epoch":1440498420,"text":"What a lovely graphics and music! I at first could not interact with the old man, but I restarted and everything is good now.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I saw a water pit. And I fell into it...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Killing all this animals :(. I do feel like a monster.\r<br\/>One issue though. Not all the sprites have the same pixels per units ratio - some are more detailed that others.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I just fell though a ground :O.\r<br\/>Hmmm, so that was a hole.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The game would benefit from a sprint button :P.\r<br\/>The first boss just stood next to me and could not damage me :(.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I won't spoil the rest, but I love the game!"},{"author_name":"chuckeles","author_uid":"33094","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 10:34am","epoch":1440498540,"text":"I feel bad..."},{"author_name":"brombatti","author_uid":"40832","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 3:35pm","epoch":1440516600,"text":"@WuPex thanks ^^"},{"author_name":"brombatti","author_uid":"40832","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 3:38pm","epoch":1440516780,"text":"@pirate_shell Really missed some feedback and improvements.

I left some categories on N\/A because I probably missed the point of the game ^^&quot;\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- Jumping from platforms is just too unforgiving. It feels like you have to start jumping in the middle of a platform if you don't want to drown and start over. I'm not sure if this is an issue with my VM (input lag?), but other games work fine.\r<br\/>- No button to run! :(\r<br\/>- I fullscreen-ed the game on my 21:9 screen (alt+Enter), and the game started showing some artefacts beyond the level boundaries. Pressing alt+Enter again didn't make the window resizable again, so I quit and started over.

Keep going, guys!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>P.S. Please write somewhere in the game that next level starts when Enter is pressed (on the map), it's hard to figure out.
