A jumps and that’s it. It doesn’t matter how long you hold it. It always jumps the same height. I notice something’s wrong immediately and then I spend time trying to figure out what it is, and that’s it. Intuitively, from decades of platformers, you expect that you can vary the height of the jump, so when you tell the game to do that, and you die, you’re left wondering what happened. This is because you’re not thinking of the physical act of pressing and holding A, you’re thinking “jump a height of X” and when the game doesn’t respond, you get upset. This is the something I believe the game should have fixed. Other than that, it’s a very neat little game. There’s a few traps that just made no sense at all to me, and I got frustrated with how they worked and how you moved through it, but it was pretty decent everywhere else.

P.S. For each post on this site, I have to authorize the app with Twitter… every time. Why? Shouldn’t it just have to be done once?
