stewthepoo: Thank you for the comment. Me too. :) Without this slow camera it would be too easy. It is intentional. I hope majority of players will like it. But I may be wrong... :) Now I will check out your game. Screenshots looks interesting!
Love the 8-bit style graphics, you have a good palette worked out. Nice little game.
My character got lost off screen a fair bit but all in all, really nice. Really cute art too. :)
Thanx guys, it was hell of a weekend and so much work on art. I am so glad to see, it was worth it :)

Great looking visuals, wasn't a big fan of the camera scrolling either.
As the other people, I've to say the camera moves too slow, and that makes it difficult have a good game experience.
However, I love the way that the song changes according to the level and the graphic style, so I forgive you the camera issue, good game!
Level design is a bit sloppy - it's basically the same "loop around the square taking everything in your path" four times with a palette swap. But this might just be a time issue.
A bit of level variety in terms of layout would have been lovely, but otherwise it's nicely put together. I must follow suit with others and tip my hat to the music choices.
Thank you very much for your comments.
With regard to slow camera: It is my mistake. At the moment of implementation I saw only one other (worst in point of view of some gameplay challenge) way how to quickly implement camera movement. Now I see third (better) option and I will realise it in a new version some day later after rating. It will be better game experience and still the same challenge! :)
LemmingSurvivor: Yes, we run out of time and made actual gameplay in last two hours.
GarethIW: Thank you! Vaclav Spiral (member of our LD27 team) is excellent music composer. He managed to compose all this music during those 72 hours. It's unbelievable (not only for me)!
I like how colorful the visuals are.
The camera needs to be faster though, so the player doesn't have to wait for it to catch up.
The music is very cool. Also the graphics are quite nice, although the parallax effect was a bit too strong and the camera was too slow.
The graphics are great, specially because of that parallax!
But I, too, didn't quite like the camera...
Wow! amazing atmosphere! impressive!
