Aside from that it was pretty fun. The animations for the creatures were a lot of fun and killing them was satisfying. I really stuck it to em."},{"author_name":"Garris","author_uid":"33993","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 10:29pm","epoch":1429827840,"text":"This is a really cute game! Reminded me a bit of Zelda, map-wise. It was a realllyyy big map, and not many enemies to kill along the way to finding Johnny. Also our character was a really slow walker for the amount of map to cover. But I liked this game! Really nice, smooth controls! And the lollipop was a really cute weapon."},{"author_name":"TheMeorch","author_uid":"44776","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 10:32pm","epoch":1429828020,"text":"Lovely pixel art! The character movement and animation is a bit jerky and slow, and the world seems a bit empty, given its size -- but I'm sure you could develop on it if you keep working on it.  Nice job!"},{"author_name":"Big Cow","author_uid":"51323","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 10:34pm","epoch":1429828140,"text":"I liked the intro and the graphics. I agree with what people are saying about lack of enemies for such a large map; I wandered for ages without seeing anything."},{"author_name":"tummyache","author_uid":"7321","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 10:36pm","epoch":1429828260,"text":"This player movement is extraordinarily slow.  I took forever to find Johnny and I almost gave up.  I only fought the one monster on the way which was kind of a bummer, so for me it was just a really slow walk over to find sleeping Johnny."},{"author_name":"MrRoboman","author_uid":"27479","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 10:40pm","epoch":1429828500,"text":"Nice Game. Unfortunately, I never found Johnny. I killed 40 of those shadow dogs, though. They're great.\r<br\/>The twitchy camera movement and slow walk speed were a turn off though.\r<br\/>Great work! keep it up!"},{"author_name":"Tayway203","author_uid":"50306","time":"Apr 24, 2015 @ 12:55am","epoch":1429836600,"text":"The enemy spawners were set to some crazy high number so I've fixed that. Now there should be more things to smack and performance should be slightly better as well. Thanks for the feedback!"},{"author_name":"sorlok","author_uid":"28370","time":"Apr 24, 2015 @ 12:58am","epoch":1429836780,"text":"Interesting; I loved the opening! Overworld was very big and a little repetitive. Loved the secret coins and the overall aesthetic."},{"author_name":"dcRfj15","author_uid":"49644","time":"Apr 24, 2015 @ 1:13am","epoch":1429837680,"text":"Great game, was fun to explore and fight monsters. I found Johnny in about 5 minutes (I guess I got lucky because it was such a large map though). I liked the humor though, some of the townspeople had some funny things to say. I found one of the hidden coins (#2). The character was relatively slow though, as was mentioned before, but that is a minor issue."},{"author_name":"benmcnelly","author_uid":"31106","time":"Apr 24, 2015 @ 1:15am","epoch":1429837800,"text":"Geez, I love the contrast of cute lolly pop kid and then holy crap demon horde thingy.

I basically killed the things by running away, facing them, then holding my spacebar as I wait for the attack to fire. Sometimes I tap my spacebar and nothing happens, and it felt like the attack fires only some of the time."},{"author_name":"richiebranson","author_uid":"51385","time":"Apr 24, 2015 @ 2:26am","epoch":1429842060,"text":"Definitely feeling the old school action RPG style pixel art &amp; gameplay.

You should make the beasts a little slower because it's too hard to outrun theme. Music is good and the theme is funny.
