good, not great
If you're going to make use of both keyboard and mouse, it'd be helpful if you used WASD instead of arrow keys.

Looks good
It's a pretty good looking game, but the main thing is the controls. Might not seem like a big deal but really controls are the only interaction you have with a game so when they make you hold a mouse, use the arrow keys, and then try to bend a finger over to space/ctrl... really makes it hard to get into the game when you're bending your hands around the keyboard.

Yes, I understand, is a commentary in common with the majority of users ... I'm working on correcting that error ... I promise: D
kinda nice
Well the game is nice just needs a little fixing
Too glitchy
10/10 for the art, atmosphere story line ...
However, as already mentionned by other players, the run and jump too often doesn't work. It has to be replaced by a jump and run, which, at the tractor level, is a right pain in the ass.
On this level actually, I managed to get my rabbit stuck in an all-white screen that there is no getting out of (the rabbit made it passed the tractor though lol) ... not sure I was supposed to end up there ;)
Nice Design, damn that Jump key
I love the look of the game, and the atmosphere but as has already been mentioned the jump key is an absolute nightmare in terms of it's responsiveness.
During the "slower" parts of the game this is just annoying (i.e. having to try to jump several times to get where you want) but on the tractor level it is unbearable. You have a level where speed is of the essence and reaction speed is vital. In and of itself not a problem but you have a jump key that doesn't work half the time - that's a serious issue with the game.
As I said, I love the look and feel though and I'm going to give the second part a go now in the hope that the glitchy controls have improved. I think the game has a lot of potential - nice one.

Thanks for your time and the comments!!!
I know I have a serious mistake about it, but nobody taught me how to action script, I learned on my own, I'm looking to correct that mistake, I promise, and many thanks for playing.
I wish you a fun halloween :D
