- Tenuous engagement with theme. Some jump challenges overly frustrating. Liked the music and interactive sounds. In fact sounds was the best part of this game.
- There's some great control options here that make for an interesting gaming experience. I wasn't able to complete the game, but did enjoy playing it.
- This game is very complete! The visuals are beautiful, in particular the design and animation of the avatar character. This games worst quality is also perhaps it's best: absolutely slippery, momentum based controls quickly make this into a "rage platformer" - and yet the speedy, rough handling avatar is arguably the best aspect of the game! Playtesting seems to be what this games needs. The level design is what needs the most work. There is potential here for an extremely thrilling, strategic platformer based around sliding down on slopes - more Sonic the Hedgehog than precise vertical Super Mario style platforming. Great work, 2nd place from me.
- The game concept is good. Improvement suggestions are as follows: - Typography (at the beginning and controls) needs consideration for better interface readability and accessibility. - It is a bit hard to manage the character movement which can be frustrating after a couple of attempts.
