Forgot to mention. the sliding I think makes it more complicated, and makes you think as to when you should jump and when you should push the down arrow. :)
from where I am so far (Level three) You weren't going for style or neatness. I love the simple look. I enjoy it and get super excited when I almost finish the level. it's slightly hard to control but I have learned to deal with tough movement in games. awesome job GrnDyRx!
