Music is wonderfully fitting for the game too. My only criticism is that I think the bombs should influence the character's love more, as at first I found it difficult to see if they had much effect other than scattering the characters. Very well done!"},{"author_name":"Johan Blade","author_uid":"43974","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 2:03pm","epoch":1429538280,"text":"Great job on the graphichs, they look great!"},{"author_name":"texdata","author_uid":"51005","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 2:49pm","epoch":1429541040,"text":"nice art !!!"},{"author_name":"Ilseroth","author_uid":"50718","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 2:49pm","epoch":1429541040,"text":"The background is pretty, but there doesn't really seem to be much strategy other then &quot;drop lots of bombs.&quot;"},{"author_name":"snade","author_uid":"7992","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 2:50pm","epoch":1429541100,"text":"The bombs didn't seem to affect the population's love.\r<br\/>I really like the art!"},{"author_name":"ViliX64","author_uid":"29167","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 2:51pm","epoch":1429541160,"text":"Whoa\r<br\/>This is such a lovely concept!

Your style of painting is very soothing, quite a show of how you can use anything you're good at and deliver yourself for your game. The music also matches and enhances the experience greatly, quite a moving experience even if I don't know exactly why the populace was decreasing, if they were all suiciding out of so much love in the world or if my bombs had also a murdering effect.
