Please refer to the Verification Guidelines before posting. Verifications are due by May 22, 2014.

Please post your opinions about the run and be certain to conclude your post with a verdict (Accept/Reject). This is not a contest where the majority wins - I will judge each verification on its content. Please keep your verification brief unless you have a good reason otherwise.

After 2 weeks I will read all of the verifications and move this thread to the main verification board and post my verdict.

SDA Apprentice -- (3-1)

Before I post, I wanted to share where you can get the game: http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/games/48522-you-made-it

I'm a bit split on this run. On one hand, this is a very trippy looking game, thus I can understand if the runner is being cautious. On the other hand though, it feels rather awkward to see a run where the runner is being cautious on a run that is under one minute. During that time, we do see that the runner does make a few misjumps and stop for a second just to make sure that he doesn't make a mistake.

Part of me says accept because this was a really good run on a game that can easily throw you off because of how it looks, but then at the same time, I say reject because I feel as though the runner can probably even better in spite of having a great run already.

...

I'm sorry, but overall for a game that is this short, there should be no mistakes and very little hesitation.

This is a very weak accept only because I know that this can be optimized, but I believe can still be acceptable for SDA.

Not a walrus

Yeah, a run this short shouldn't have any visible pauses that aren't absolutely required. I played through the game myself and it's not particularly difficult to control your character, and with a bit of practice you can memorize all the platform positions so you shouldn't need to stop, ever, since there's no timing elements whatsoever.

Reject.
