I found the controls let this down a bit, it was really tough jumping places and especially up screens which led to quite a bit of frustration. However the opening song ... brilliant. Contextualizing the controls with the lazer pen was also genius. The wobbling cats bums is also worth an extra star in my book.
The voice work really seals the deal! made me chuckle. I also like the idea of playing as the person who helps the protagonist rather than the hero.
Wow, just wow.

Fall Into Space by maackle 2011-09-08T11:01:00
I really liked this, felt quite etherial (music helped). Gravity getting weaker as you get higher (so your jump getting higher) was cool, but a little frustrating having to wait so long to fall back to the ground again so you can jump). Is there an actual end? I Got into space then it went blue, but nothing happened.

This somehow reminded me of Fling Smash on wii ( strange i know ). Overall, mental,but good to see some progression in there. Possibly a little too random though so wasn't a game i felt i could get "better" at by playing it more.
Bomber Planet by adamatomic 2011-08-24T15:59:00
I Liked the intro text, it set the tone (and the controls explanation) well :) Surprised at how massive the map was (bravo!), but think i would have preferred something a bit smaller to stop me feeling so lost.

Music ambience is suitable creepy, but there didn't seem to be a good use for the bombs you carry?

Really like that you're experimenting with procedural music, and the visuals are totally trippy (in a good jeff minter esq way). however, i had real trouble judging the note directions which kind of got in the way of my enjoyment of the game.

Bonkers! Good sense of humour ( i'm assuming you googled escape and this was one of the top hits? )
Fireflies by Winterblood 2011-08-24T15:05:00
Would have been nice to see more involved in catching the fireflies, perhaps some have to be chased or something. The visuals have potential, and theres a couple of nice graphics tricks in play.

Prison of Air by drakfyre 2011-08-23T09:53:00
Would have been nice to see some sub goals thrown in there (special limited raindrops or something). By the end i felt like a OCD predator, trying to clear chase and kill all the raindrops.
Slip Away by cambrian_era 2011-08-23T09:44:00
Liked the phasing mechanics. I died a lot from jumps I thought I should be able to make only to hit the spikes or him not grab onto the edge.
Atmosphere was nice and creepy. Biggest frustration was that the checkpoints were too far apart compared to the difficulty.
