Love the new poster too! lena Well-Known Member Mar 26, 2011 1,049 0 36 #12 lena, Dec 22, 2011 Thanks for the sale! Picked this up and it's really good. I never bought this before because I thought I wouldn't like the automatic jumping mechanic. Lack of control in a platformer is often frustrating to me, but the incredible charm, style and polish of this game, together with a great soundtrack, mitigate a lot of that. It is hard to get really frustrated when you're surrounded by so much joy. It also really helps that there are unlimited lives, immediate restarts, and tons of checkpoints (and even a "return to last checkpoint" option in the pause menu). One benefit of this mechanic is that this is one of the few platformers that plays perfectly on the iPad for me.

We spent a lot of time refining the jump mechanic and giving it depth, as strange as that sounds. We knew we wanted a constant jump mechanic for the simplicity but early on the acceleration was very high and you could change direction almost instantly. We experimented with several acceleration settings, and once we added the Jump Par achievement we realised how the acceleration should be handled. Giving the player a non-instant acceleration means greater precision and care must be taken in avoiding obstacles that might cause you to "stall" and have to restart your momentum. If you've been going for Jump Par you've probably realised that they're very fine. Sometimes they're more puzzle oriented but a lot of the time they require precision platforming. In a sense it adds a bit of a racing aspect to the game, all of us on the team competed amongst ourselves trying to shave jumps off our scores spidey Well-Known Member Jun 24, 2010 964 2 0 India #15 spidey, Dec 23, 2011 Whoa! Did not expect to enjoy this game so much. I also thought that the game was a little low on content. Which, honestly I still think it is. I mean, I'd love more levels. Even Through IAP. The guys who made this obviously have a lot of aesthetic and artistic skills. Great game. Goes in my top ten of GOTY list.
