[Looming]

Thoroughly impressive...

Not much more to add that hasn't already been said. I will say to those who don't get what you have to do, here is a list of where the endings are:

Well polished to say the least

i liked how every level has three maps that overlap with the other in a different way, not to mention the seamless integration of the music between dimensions. the medals are also fairly easy to achieve (except for demon dodger, but then again some games need to have a good challenge) the art was also rather interesting and the animations weren't as jumpy as some other flash games i have seen. i would like to see more innovative platformers like this one. well done. this certainly earned its place in the Power of Three.

EntropicOrder responds:

I used time based animation instead of frame based animation, which might be the reason it runs smoother than other games for you. I found that using it instantly made everything feel a lot smoother.

Not bad

The story was interesting but there needs to be an ending, I mean why go to all that trouble just to see the decorating work? The gameplay is great, not too hard but not too easy and you just can't rush through if you want a good ending. The anime theme was a nice touch. Overall, nothing that blows my mind but with just a little bit more, you could make it great.

absolutely beautiful

This game is incredibly smooth and well polished. You did a great job of making an above average platformer. The music is extremely well composed and you did an excellent job of capturing the pet/owner relationship. definately one of the best flash games I have seen. I would like to see more games featuring sly.
