Very Meat Boy-ie Like
I really enjoyed this from start until finish, it is a little disappointing that the last level cant be beaten. (Well at least I couldn't.)
But all in all, this was a very entertaining game, short but good.

Yeah, that was a bit of a mistake. I was just kind of messing around and thought that'd be a fun ending but I shouldn't have kept the timer and the exit on the level.
great but
hate the timer :\
Overdone.
Simply put, this concept has been done too many times before. I love the "MetroidVania" genre, but this one doesn't really stand out. It's too basic; there's nothing about it that sets it apart from the hundreds of other MetroidVania games. I would have easily given this game a 10 for graphics and music alone, but there was just too much "get the key so you can unlock the door to get another key".
Oh hai.
Fuck that was hard. Suggestion: Add a Level Editor if you want to make this game last longer. It would be really apreciated :D
Simple and fun!
Even though this has been done more times than I can remember, it still works and is fun.
- Gameplay is top-notch, I noticed no problems with controls or anything
- Artwork, well, basic but it works
- Story nonexistent but eh, doesn't matter here
- Music is great, good choices with that
- Difficulty curve is quite nice, though I only had trouble with the last level. Took me about 10 minutes probably.
- Kind of lazy ending, but well, it fit my mood after I completed the last level
Overall I shouldn't really give this a rate this high, because of it's simplicity but, damn, it does what some games with lots more artwork and planning do not.
It's fun.
4/5, 8/10
Improvements: I myself think this game is to demonstrate how good game mechanisms are made, so thinking that way, it's perfect.
However, could always improve artwork and perhaps put in a story.
But like I said, those don't matter here.
Great job!
