Really? I thought it said "Did you really bother to follow @maptroid on twitter for an update soon" :) edit: or maybe it said https://store.steampowered.com/app/1655960/Maptroid_Worlds/

I was thoroughly surprised at how engaging this game was, I thought it was going to be gimmicky but you did a great job on its design. I liked how the different areas and biomes had a different touch to it, like the vent-likeness of the gas area and such. The map is well designed and it's fun getting the new powerups because it usually let you access a new shortcut to ease some navigation pain. Great job boiling the genre down to its absolute essence of exploration and upgrades!

Wow thanks for the nice comments :) - Exploration was indeed my main focus for the game and glad that backtracking was easy for you. p.s. I am going to play Loot Loop Loot when I get a free evening :)

I love how it gets progressively easier to traverse the terrain throughout the game.

Surprisingly enjoyable game. Straightforward (once I realized that I needed an upgrade to go up), and the teleport was a godsend.
