I'm much buffer in real life.

This is a really great and original concept, I loved the problem solving aspect and mixed with platformer elements really makes it something special. It runs a little slow at times, and the slow energy recharge made me a little stir crazy. The graphics are really complete, though they're probably the only part I could see having a lot of possible improvement on especially the menus. Overall, great job!
Oh, and the contest doesn't end until the 10th so I don't know what that other guy was smokin'

Thanks for the review. Definitely glad you liked it... and I completely understand about the menus. Thinking back on it, I was so concerned about trying to nail the abilities and make some interesting and entertaining level enhancements (like the mushrooms and the goats)... the more directly impactful, creative aspects, that I seem to have skimped on the polish of the menus.
Also, I realized a bit to late that the energy-bar start amount and re-charge were a bit too tight. I made a change to the version uploaded on here that gives the player a bit of a boost with each colected piece of garbage, which should alleviate the issue almost entirely for anyone not trying to explore the entire screen/level. Am I allowed to submit such a change to the FLA back to you?

This game is really good...I can tell a lot of thought and talented programming went into it. I enjoyed the storyline and the opponent progression, and the gameplay is very original and unique. In my opinion, the kids are gonna love this on Wiggi World, you're right when you say that the complainers are underestimating them, 10 year olds will play this game for hours.
My only small complaints are with the gameplay balancing, I think some of the moves could be tweaked to make them more useful/effective for the player so that more strategy instead of luck is involved...overall, great job...I can tell already that judging this contest is not gonna be fun...

Have I mentioned how glad I am to see REAL games being submitted for the Wiggi World contest? This was a great adaptation of your gravoor series for kids. I enjoyed playing it and I think the kids on Wiggi World will too. Nice work!

This is a GREAT submission for the contest. Very nice work. Your graphics mesh well with the premade characters, the levels were well designed and entertaining with a good learning curve. The animation was simple, but suitable. I'm so glad to see a real COMPLETE game being entered in the competition!

I honestly think it was just ok. Graphics were a bit sub-par, though some nice frame by frame stuff at moments. Pretty generic music and sound effects. Humor, was not that original. Menus and fonts were poorly chosen or possibly not embedded correctly and the design overall was not polished.
Would have been a good flash 3 years ago, but now we expect a higher level of polish.

I watched the movie without looking at who the author was, but by the end I was convinced it was a Jeff Bandelin...I didn't glean this info from the factors your might normally think...it was the v-cam! I knew it by the V-CAM!

This was worth the wait...it was very well done and as long as a real tv show! I enjoyed the "Big" reference immensely.
Great work guys!

This was great. I absolutely love how you stayed true to the rules laid down at the start. Really neat to see how creative people can get with such constraints.
I'm also glad you took some of the BBS menu advice to heart.
Great job!

I thoroughly enjoyed it...deserves top 50. Polished in every aspect (except for those non-embedded fonts lol ;))
MAGNUM OPUS!
