Great fun! Every move you make (or don't make) is a decision that can cost you the game, making it more intense than the simple premise would suggest. Difficulty ramps up nicely too and the tight controls keep it from being frustrating. Took me 3 attempts but I beat it by the skin of my teeth :D I also appreciate the escalating music.
One thing I noticed: When you jump onto the right platform, sometimes the little box dudes climb down the air instead of the pole.
That is correct. It's a bug that I also noticed but didn't know exactly how to solve without breaking the whole thing. Esentially, if you reach the goal while jumping too far to the right the animation will trigger a bit too late.
I dunno how it will play out if you enforce the fact that all the characters needs to be on the other side before the player will move on to one level. But right now, I can breeze through it without even caring if my character will make it to the other side. Just a thought.
@Anshul Goyal: I completely see your point. The main objective is not really "reach the end" but "reach the end with as many characters as possible". This is not made very clear right away, but the "ending" you get depends on how many guys survive by the end of the game. I wish I could have made it fancier, but there *is* a difference. I don't know, when I first thought of it I thought that it would add some replayability to the game ;)

Visualmente le falta un poco de cohesión. En otras palabras: ¡las nubes deberían ser igual de pixeladas que el resto de imágenes!
Me gusta la idea de que no tengas una barra de vida sino un indicador de equilibrio, aunque esto debería verse reforzado a través del diseño del personaje, quizás mediante una animación de balance más exagerada.
Cuando empiezan a aparecer pirañas resulta un poco injusto no saber por dónde pueden venir. Quizás podría verse el agua en que nadan debajo y poder ver dónde se encuentran antes de que salten.
@Rodaja: Me di cuenta de lo de la piraña, pero no me dio tiempo a implementar una mecánica para avisar al jugador de dónde iba a salir. Gracias por tus comentarios! Apuntados quedan y veré si le doy un poquito más de cera fuera de LD :)
