Well done. Thanks for allowing WASD controlling; it makes the game play much more fun. You clearly put a lot of effort into this game. It's very polished and I didn't experience any bugs. The puzzles were quite fun. It was a bit on the easier side; but I'd rather have it a bit easy than too hard. The graphics are very pleasant. This is one of the few games I'll actually listen to the music rather than my own music. The music had a perfect retro feel.

This is really good. With a few fixes it'd be great. The animation isn't very smooth; it's like it's lagging a bit. My computer should more than be able to handle the game so I think it's likely that it could stand to be optimized a bit.

You miss entirely too damned much. I understand that each hit is probably a singular random event, but it's annoying to go for an attack with 90% chance of hitting and miss four times in a row.

If you made it run a little smoother and made the hit/miss algorithm a little better this would easily have been a 5.

It seems the troll face isn't clickable.

This is one of the best Stencyl games I've seen. I'm really impressed with the graphics. It's fun, but the game play has a few problems. I'd really like to be able to use WASD to move around. Having to use the arrows feels clunky and annoying. It's also a drag that you start from square one if you fall off the screen. It'd be much better to start from a checkpoint or the beginning of the screen you're on.

I really like the minimal sounds. Though it really needs a mute button.

All in all this is pretty cool. I'd like to see more games from you in the future.

Very well done. I'm glad you made the option for WASD available. I don't think I could have managed the side-ways bits with my right hand.

I would have liked to see WASD controls and a map. But considering the time constraint of the competition you did very well.

Many thanks for the kind words. There were plenty of things I would have loved to have added, but since I started way too late into the 48 hours it was a mad rush to get something, *anything*, complete!
Great idea on the map - if and when I make an enhanced version/sequel, I'll be sure to add that.

It seems to lag a bit when you're at higher speeds. The whole cash system seems pointless to me. From what I can tell you can't upgrade or use the cash for anything useful. The whole quick-repair option just feels like a cheap gimmick to force people to look at the ads on the screen. With some work this could be a fun game as it's pretty well made for what it is.

This is quite good. It would have been a five if you could use WASD as controls.

The Mochi pop-ups come up and block the screen while you're playing. I'd also like to be able to use WASD controls.

TechVision responds:

I will try and add WASD controls in the next version.

The popups are the achievements. I agree it would be preferable to display them at the bottom of the screen, or at the end of levels. I'll see what I can do...

I have no complaints whatsoever about this game. The graphics are great. The game play is fun. The controls are intuitive.
