I would hwoever appreciat if you uploaded this somewhere which didn't require a download, as it is an html file. I however have to admit I did cringe a little bit at the theme namedrop at "you've been collecting the sap. A pretty unconventional weapon you must admit.". \r\rSo yeah, unfortunately this is not something I personally have much experience in, so I can't give a fair criticism."},{"author_name":"Muffin","author_uid":"3633","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 7:32pm","epoch":1429730820,"text":"Nice setup to the story, kept me interested for a while, but I find the 30 days too long for a rerun, once I failed the first time. I felt I didn't have a lot of options about what to do, but maybe I missed something. Good job on the atmosphere!"},{"author_name":"Trafulgoth","author_uid":"41350","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 10:41pm","epoch":1429828560,"text":"Nice little text adventure. It was bit easy for me; working the greenhouse seems to be a bit OP. At the end, I had over 300,000 units of sap and 8 trees, lol. Maybe I'm just too good at horror situations, but I had fun anyways."},{"author_name":"Bastienre4","author_uid":"45409","time":"Apr 27, 2015 @ 7:29pm","epoch":1430162640,"text":"Great idea this text adventure game,very unique."},{"author_name":"Ammypendent","author_uid":"52563","time":"Apr 30, 2015 @ 5:03am","epoch":1430369880,"text":"@Liam :D Thanks for reviewing even if it's not your thing! I tried to host it directly but the window appeared too small and you couldn't get past the first passage... and I did debate whether to take out the theme namedrop but time had me focus on other things.\r\r@Muffin Yeah, I agree about the 30 day time period being long (didn't get to testing until the very end of the jam >_<). I'm pretty sure 15 days or simply more options would hold the interest better.\r\r@Trafulgoth Since my testing was late I didn't balance things either XD. Glad you had fun.\r\r@Bastienre4 Glad you liked it!"},{"author_name":"Almost","author_uid":"1168","time":"Apr 30, 2015 @ 5:34am","epoch":1430371740,"text":"It's a bit misleading to label the link as "Web" instead of providing a direct download link or at least labelling it as "Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Android""},{"author_name":"Jezzamon","author_uid":"10217","time":"Apr 30, 2015 @ 6:23am","epoch":1430374680,"text":"The web link is wrong. It should be labelled "All OS's", or something similar.\r\rOr, seeing as it's a html thing, why not just upload it to dropbox and link to it there? You'd get a lot more players that way.\r\rThe game itself was interesting, but I ran out of oxygen despite spending a lot of time in the greenhouse... I'm guess the results are randomly generated, and I got unlucky?\r\rI guess I would've liked it to be more obvious what the results of my actions would be, like if after doing something I could learn what the general result of that action was."},{"author_name":"blubberquark","author_uid":"7968","time":"Apr 30, 2015 @ 10:34am","epoch":1430389740,"text":"Did you know that you upload twine stories to itch.io and have them play in the browser?

Later the number of aliens I am fighting fluctuates. One moment: "You see 2 aliens", next moment: "You hit 3 of the aliens with the stick".\r\rAlso, having 300000 tablespoons of something is silly. Why can't you Americans use the metric system like normal people ;)"},{"author_name":"Xanjos","author_uid":"21201","time":"Apr 30, 2015 @ 6:25pm","epoch":1430418000,"text":"Pretty interesting story. I like the whole exploration aspect of it although exploring the asteroid doesn't seem to affect the plot whatsoever (just whether the alarm gets tripped or not)."},{"author_name":"Chaoseed","author_uid":"1161","time":"May 1, 2015 @ 2:33am","epoch":1430447280,"text":"Pretty interesting; a good start at least. You obviously put a lot of work into evoking the world, and it worked pretty well. Although, I went through 30 days and there was no real "solution" to all the questions that had been raised, so that was disappointing. As for game mechanics, by the end I had amassed literally millions of tablespoons, and fighting 'defensively' had me winning every time...the point is, it didn't seem like there was much tension, since I could win every fight! What else...I seemed to find a bug; every time the aliens attacked my camp I saw "As soon as the proximity alarm rings you spring into action. You find yourself <<print>> bad expression: unterminated string literal aliens.". Also, you set the itch.io settings so the player has to download the file, rather than playing it in the browser; and it's 'pay what you want', which is obviously bad. Still, congrats on finishing a game. ;)"},{"author_name":"Nomys_Tempar","author_uid":"44631","time":"May 2, 2015 @ 11:34am","epoch":1430566140,"text":"Nice textual adventure ! 30 days is a bit too long but the writing is good !"},{"author_name":"Mykaelos","author_uid":"39687","time":"May 12, 2015 @ 12:45am","epoch":1431391200,"text":"I really had fun with this game.
