AdventureIslands should not listen to most of the complains. It seems that people get used to cloning when it comes to flash games. This is original and fun. Not everyone is to be pleased, but people should really try to enjoy this rather than complain the hardness. Game was developed to be hard and this sure is it. Just a note to AI: Remember to make it your own, not a clone as others are implying.
The whole game is extremely addictive and fun, shares a real retro-feeling and difficulty level is just about right. The whole game is an achievement, you always feel that you've achieved something as you've completed another level, especially after level 7, where the game gets harder every level. Also <3 boss levels. 5/5 and no exceptions! :) We want to see this rated top 3 in monthly.
While my friends and I don't see any problems with the controls, I will try to adjust the jumping physics a little.
