Nice, although I wish puzzle game level designers would more often avoid the low road of twitch mechanics.

By "twitch mechanics" I guess I mean levels where the "puzzle" is to get the timing right. "I have to do tasks A, B and C in the right order" is a puzzle, "I have to jump riiiiight....NOW" is not.

That was fairly good, but what was the accent of the narrator? It kept catching my attention.

"twitch mechanics" is the best band name I've heard in a while.

Sounds like a text to speech program with a Swedish accent.

Neat, but tedious - I lost the interest to find t.

Wow, I didn't think that was very twitchy at all. And it was charming and made me smile. Even the silly ending. Fun!

Em, DUTCH accent. And that accent made me smile.

It's LOUD and there didn't seem to be a way to turn it down or off... so I didn't get any distance into it (I don't want to have to change all my music settings just to play this game).

The expand/contract thing is a neat mechanic, and the game was kind of fun until that dumb "ride the arrow to precisely meet the other arrow oh look you fell into the pit for the TWENTIETH FUCKING TIME" thing.

I like the part after the twitchy arrow part, where the gravity gets strange. Nice game.

I didn't make it through the actual game! The walkthrough was long enough and hard enough (twitch mechanics fuck off!) for the time I had. I'll go back to it, probably, because at lot of it was clever and cool and surprising.
