Porting the game is a good way to learn these things :)

Graphics, sound and overall presentation are great.
Maybe the sprite animation could be a bit faster, I got the impression that gameplay would be much better then.
Anyway, thanks to the authors for the excellent and very professionally made game.

Hi Pegaz, thanks for your comments!

In some moment I thought that Pietro should run faster and even Jump higher, so I've asked to my team if they like the idea of including these elements (The engine can handle extra speed easily), but we all agreed that having two different gameplays would confuse the players, so we choose maintain the original Manic Miner speed and game rules as the base of this game.
