I liked the idea of the goo. Two things for next time: 1) Say in your readme.txt how to actually
run the game. :) 2) Don't make the pace of the first level so fast and difficult that the player
doesn't have time to get into enjoying the the game.

Got a traceback, sorry. If I have time I'll try again.... File "avidus_0.70

Interesting puzzle game, but not variable enough to be worth 1000 levels.

Graphics didn't really have a coherent feel, which hurts the production score.

Collision detection often felt a bit off, and I found myself needing Ghost mode more often than
I expected.

Awesome idea -very elegant. Combined with the theme everything seems to click nicely. This is
the first game Im rating because I wanted to see it first!

obstacles where really a pain (why do I not advance!? oh I'm stuck again!)

Quite a fun game. The goo is maybe a little too deadly, but I think I can forgive it since it looks
so good.

Looked interesting but it crashed a few seconds in

Surprisingly fun because of how oppressive the goo is, but the collision detection is dodgy
and I can never get away from the goo, so I don't feel like it's a fair fight.

This is very very very hard, I would say too hard.

First of all I loved the music, very good use of CC licensed content! Good use of the theme. It has
some bugs that make the game crash and it affected its production value :( I had to adjust the
speed, but I don't know if I did properly. Anyway the worst thing for me was the collision
detection and the obstacle placement. I got stuck too frequently, sometimes by just a pixel :(
I got to level 4 though.
