4/5 Great work! I've never seen gameplay quite like this and as some has said its almost it is its own sub-genre if not genre. I hope you make a follow up with maybe some added flair, extra gameplay, and maybe a few more original twists to earn that extra star!
BUG WORKAROUND
The karma entanglement at the very beginning occurs because when you click the man he automatically jumps a little to the left and up. This means if he's near the top left, if you drag him towards the fire immediately he will cross this little jump...
To the developer, the rating when from 4 to 2 stars because of this bug, and the fact you can respawn right on the origin of another life. All you need to fix these are a timer, and one collision test... I hope you follow up, its a fun little game.
Just assign the SoundMixer a SoundChannel with a volume value of zero when a mute button is clicked, and a soundChannel of volume 100 when its clicked again.... that maybe values of 0-1 not 0 -100, but either way its simple
Stolen... He even wrote Made by EntropicOrder... If you do have permission to post (which I doubt considering Entropic posted the game weeks ago) you should say...
2/5 The bouncing is off, and the graphics are sub par, but its still a game. I'd work on making this better before moving onto something else so you get experience polishing...
