I like the idea of a platformer where you have to control the platforms. I think it's a little too hard. The controls are pretty unforgiving, especially when you need to time your mouse click with a jump. I'm stuck at the beginning of level 3 now. The physics are kind of buggy. It was really hard to jump off of the last platform in level 2. Love the gnomes' attitude, this is the funniest game I've played so far. :)
Ah cool yeah I got it now. There's definitely some interesting mechanics there, they're just unintuitive. Does the platform in level 4 just kill you if it's moving? That was a bit frustrating to have happen after finally getting past the gauntlet. Anyway, you were right about the ending, it's something else. :)
Innovation: 4/5 - I haven't seen the concept of platform control done this way, but it's still a platformer. Fun: 3/5 - You need checkpoints! I don't want to have to do something I already figured out again. Other suggestions: Communicate functionality better. Perhaps have the gnome complain about things? "Aw no, I got to click this platform again..." Theme: 3/5 - Tiny things in their world. More to do with appearance than gameplay, although that's the same for my game, so no hard feelings there. Graphics: 3/5 - A little funky in places, but everything is functional and I can tell what everything is. Audio: N/A - Not on a computer with sound, so not rating. Humor: N/A - Didn't see any attempts at humor, so not rating. Mood: N/A - I'm just going to leave this at N/A for games that aren't story-focused now.
Side-note: Got stuck on level 4, I think I pressed the first button at the wrong time? Couldn't jump to the platform anymore.
Thanks for the HUGE feedback! :D On level 4 the first button can be clicked with both right and left button (if I got right where you were stuck). I agree with most of what you wrote but you missed my AWESOME sfx! Still, thanks again for playing and rating.
Took me a while to figure out I was supposed to click on the platforms to get them moving :P It was really fun overall, although the jumping and general movement were a bit clunky. Good job with the graphics!
Honestly I got too frustrated to continue on level 2. Seems like jumping off platforms is a little broken, sometimes you press jump and you don't jump.
Also seems like clicking on the platforms has a different effect each time you click on it. Which makes it confusing.
Nice idea controlling platforms with the mouse though.
The clicking + keyboard interaction was actually pretty frustrating. My arrow keys and mouse aren't really located in places that make them conducive to being used together.
This game was really too hard. The character seemed to move too fast, I think. The deaths also were too unforgiving.
In the future I would try and make it more obvious that you click on the platform in the first level... took me a while to figure it out, when it should be a basic game mechanic.
Solid idea here. Some problems: 1) takes a while before you get you have to click the platform. 2) on the platforms you get a bug where the gnome is apparently not constantly touching the platform so you can't jump.
I think without the jumping issue this could be a very fun game actually.

In level 3 try using both mouse buttons!
Will fix that! Thanks again for playing!

I think that adequately sums up my experience.

Little too hard and unforgiven

Graphics were cute and colorful.

Still not too bad though.
