Error: "You need the August 2008 DirectX update in order to run this application.". OS: Win 7 64 Bit.
Awesome graphic!
Annoying thing that when you die the game restarts from the beginning.
Ok I reached the second level, but this maze has no exit... v__v
The second level is the labirint and of course it's hard to find the exit. But this level HAS exit
Seems pretty closed to me

Unless you put some kind of hidden passage somewhere by removing a collision. But I don't really feel like going through all the walls of your huge empty level. So yeah Ragequit (:
But just in these two levels I might say that it's a bit unbalanced between long wandering phase and actual gameplay phase. In the first level, there's really nothing after you pass the surprise worm.
But overall you've got pretty decent graphics (: like your biomechanic lizard character and the animations are cool
The camera constantly clipping is really annoying. The graphics are pretty, but the animations seem kind of clunky, though that may have been the camera's fault. I wish you could have included some sound.
The gameplay isn't very good. The first level makes you wait around a lot and it's really frustrating to have to restart from the very beginning. The second finally has some enemies and platforming, but it's terribly done, as the platforming is dull (all you do is climb walls) and you can pretty much ignore all the enemies as long and you make sure to heal whenever you get the chance. And that's as far as I got, after 5 minutes of being lost in the maze. The game up 'till then was pretty boring, at least.
Also, you should teach the player how the game works. I tried bitting that damn worm only to get killed and made to start over. And the wall-climbing mechanic was never explained; I thought it was a wall-jump at first.
Overall it was a good idea, but the execution was kind of bad. I imagine that you probably spent too much time making the engine and the graphics and didn't think the levels through enough.
