Reminds me of my childhood where this was basically the only game we had on the computer :).\nFun little game! Regarding the graphics I would have liked if you had a sprite which looks diagonally. Even if you move right and left you always move down. The graphics are very nice, but I would try to somehow turn of anti-aliasing, as the nice sprites get blurry on large screens. I think Pixelart should be always crisp.\nCongratulations to this nice game!</p>\n","games":["Cathedral Master Builder"]},{"at":348613037,"author":"Roman Miniv","login":"RomanMiniv","gh":50551993,"text":"<p>The fact that it is not possible to move vertically is a little confusing, but in general the game and music are interesting - thanks and congratulations!</p>\n","games":["Crusaders and their Journeys"]},{"at":348826932,"author":"FoumartGames","login":"foumart","gh":3528138,"url":"https://www.foumartgames.com","twitter":"FoumartGames","text":"<p>Good difficulty progression and really nice music, some sound effects could improve the experience and maybe rendering the chariot in the same angle of movement.</p>\n","games":["Moai Alley"]},{"typ":2,"at":348852519,"author":"Jeremy Burns","login":"jaburns","gh":620418,"url":"https://jaburns.net","twitter":"jaburnsnet","text":"<p>Fun take on ski free!

Here’s my feedback and recommendations:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>First off, the music was great.  I thought it was fun to listen to throughout the journey and didn’t get too old</li>\n<li>One UI recommendation - since the controls are with the mouse direction, you force the player to risk their gameplay by turning on/off the sound.   I would recommend having the mute button bound to a hotkey like (m) or so</li>\n<li>After playing through, I wasn’t quite sure if the levels were getting more difficult from going east, going down, or the distance.  It might be nice to let the player know either in documentation or by having more clarity on that goal</li>\n<li>The hearts and obstacles were very intuitive!  I also enjoyed the arrows and wheels; although it would be great if they had an origin so that I could “pass” the archer or wagon.</li>\n<li>It would have been nice to have some sort of checkpoint or clearer milestone progressions.</li>\n</ol>\n<ul>\n<li>points for a valid readme</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>points for not having eslint or prettier - always want to have those setup for consistency and community contributions!</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>points for naming convention of files, was easy to follow along!</li>\n</ul>\n<p>P.S. you spelled Rome wrong in the title, but right in the description :D</p>\n<p>Overall, really great submission and I look forward to seeing what’s next!
