Loved it. Easy enough to get the hang of it, yet satisfying my post-Super Meat Boy therapy.
Want to know more about Blake. What will he do now?
Only reason it didn't get 5 was that I wanted more levels.
So greedy I am, for a free game.

Haha! I'll take that as a good sign.
Ideally in the future I'd like to have a level editor where people can make their own stuff and share. It'd be great to see what everyone can come up with.
Thanks for playing!
Nice game. I didnt get any further than 507 though..

I think Dellis might be able to help you on that one too!
liked it, won, my hand hurts, please add a level select feature :D

On it! Level select for version 2.0. Watch this space.
Good work for finishing it and thanks for playing!
Just finished the first play through and was a lot of fun. Like others I had a hell of a time on 509 and 506, I think it was. Took lots of trial and error to figure out exactly how the wall jumping mechanics worked to get through 509. Basically you cant jump off two right or left walls in a row, regardless of them being different walls. Once I really thought it through it wasn't too bad. Nice game, really enjoyed it and had a good sense of satisfaction beating it/
after spending a beating it and finding it mediocre the first time i came back planning to kill an hour the game's speedrun mode enticed me to take on the challenge and now on the fourth try i lowered my time to about 630 seconds. this feature (and all the others) are fantastic additions to this game (i may have just not noticed them the first time) the game is a magnificent time waster.
now onto the gripes. i'm honestly just going to reiterate what was probably spoken or promised earlier. the mute button is a must, the music can be amazing but it will never be better than my favorite band lol. the wall/ air jumping should be explained in-game rather than in the summary preferably in some sort of text during the levels that need it. the difficulty spike from 508 to 509 is ridiculous and 509 is wayyy harder than 510. perhaps reorder them? make 509 easier? also i sincerely hope hardcore mode isn't the new hard mode. while it is a welcome addition i would much prefer a level pack that added levels as hard as 509 and 510.
oh and i just noticed that if you stay at the opening screen long enough the bg music will start to overlap itself, but that's a minor bug lol
off to beat my last time.

Haha, awesome review!
Glad you got into the speedrun mode, it can be a real blast to try and find quicker and quicker ways to finish the levels.
Gripes are all totally legit; mute, explaination of mechanics and rearranging 509 to its own world of evilness. Hardcore mode is designed to give a "you only live once" play through to see how far you can make it before messing up. The new hardmode will be an extra level pack kind of like the Star Road in Super Mario World.
Noted the music bug too, will fix that when I get a chance.
Keep me up to date with your times!
And of course, thanks for playing :D
