I like the graphics and the music, but I think controls aren't so intuitive. Maybe you'd better refine the interaction. Maybe controls were the central idea in your plans, but I find them weird (but this might be a subjective issue). Last point: is it normal that I show the mouse cursor after I've "catched" the sprite? I wouldn't see it after that, it's useless.

Well, yeah... the cursor will stay at the player once its positioned... I've tried that gameplay for somewhat an experiment. I guess some people wouldn't like that experimented gameplay. Thanks for the comment though

First of all, very nice music and atmosphere. I actually kind of like the mouse controls, but the jumping is pretty annoying. I wish you didn't have to release the mouse button to jump, especially since it makes you stop moving.

I had an idea for a control scheme that might be better: press a mouse button to move, tap it to jump, and hold it down to stop.

... And good idea for the mouse controls, although I'll try if I can work it on Game Maker. I would do a sequel of this game if it works, thanks for the idea. :D
