[Opposites Attract]

why don't you let us play the next level with keyboard?

you do realize our hands are on the keyboard during the levels right?

how could you have failed to playtest that part of your game?

[Beyond Eden]

i don't like the despicable actions you can make in this game and the way it tricks you into making them.

[My Time Machine Broke!]

nice twist. what did you use to record player actions for the rewind? literally just player actions? reversing time in a video game is a very complicated problem. jonathan blow spoke at length about it after braid.

OmiyaGames responds:

Sorry for the belated response. Long story short, we store the player position every few frames, then teleport the player to those positions in reverse order at the end cutscene.

[Mining Truck 2]

this co uld have been so amazingly much better.

[Blip Blip Burst]

why did you set up the movement controls this way..?

also do you realize how much that negatively impacts performance? the game engine has to do trigonometric calculations every time the player hits a direction key.

[SwingShot]

around level 40 or a little before, a mob bugged and stopped advancing. it was one of those green light orb guys and he was in the frame where he is lit up red. he didn't move. bullets went right through him and there was no way to exit to a menu or restart the level. it was an absolute game destroying bug.

[Bubu & Chida]

super short and sweet except for two gripes. one major, one minor.

major gripe: why not allow us to use WASD for movement or at least up arrow for jumping? requiring arrow keys + mouse + space bar = three hands. i have three hands so i was able to manage it but most people only have two.

minor gripe: you should have to get both the wrench and hammer to the exit in order to finish a level. as it is, it feels awkward that i shut off water flow but never have to actually m ove the wrench past that point.

[A Dark Realm]

i don't like the way you have exits from rooms that aren't indicated by your standard border buttons.

you also reused a lot of art from (or for) this.
