Very innovative and fits the theme. I actually really liked the minimal graphics, reminded me of &quot;The Unfinished Swan&quot;.  A brief description of controls would help me be confident that I'm not missing some aspect (like a way to attack the red orbs?)"},{"author_name":"pixzleone","author_uid":"44497","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 5:58pm","epoch":1429638780,"text":"Overall nice!"},{"author_name":"HotBoxGames","author_uid":"39707","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 5:59pm","epoch":1429638840,"text":"Like the concept, seemed to be quite a challenge to get away from the blobs! Fortunately I ended up jumping so high it went to blue screen and stayed airborne until I completed the level :D"},{"author_name":"funisfun8","author_uid":"51044","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 6:00pm","epoch":1429638900,"text":"Interesting idea, well executed.

The ink spots remain present after restarting the game, and the red blob remains alive 'inside' me after jumping on it, so it still kills me. The control scheme is pretty slick, the jumps and attacks work quite well."},{"author_name":"Taldius","author_uid":"12650","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 6:02pm","epoch":1429725420,"text":"The control where unusual but fun and the visual effect were cool.\r<br\/>Good job!"},{"author_name":"Cheshyr","author_uid":"20497","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 6:31pm","epoch":1429727160,"text":"that's a clever mechanic.  became really difficult to collect your bits and pieces as time went on.  right mouse button on the web player generally doesn't work either, sadly.  overall, great submission!"},{"author_name":"Blobo","author_uid":"52667","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 8:09pm","epoch":1429733040,"text":"Really like the concept, but it feels lacking. some music would be a nice touch."},{"author_name":"simon.parzer","author_uid":"50444","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 2:15pm","epoch":1429798200,"text":"I suck at this game. My strategy so far, never use the left mouse button as it costs too much health to move around. The only downside is that you have to wait for 10 seconds until the first enemies arrive.\r<br\/>The right mouse button opens a context menu on the web player, which is kind of annoying - would be cool if you could fix this in case you make an improved version."},{"author_name":"Garris","author_uid":"33993","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 10:10pm","epoch":1429826700,"text":"I liked the idea of this game! I agree with above comments that a goal would be nice, but even something as simple as a points system would fix that.

Be careful though, every action you take will cause you to lose a bit of yourself, fortunately you can retrieve your lost bits and perhaps even grow in size. Each completed stage also brings rewards with it in the form of upgrades!\r\n\r\nI spent a total of about 10 hours on this. A late start and visitors didn't help productivity much. I learnt that I am horrible at making progress updates as I go along, and also that an artist's help will be great to have next time round.\r\n\r\nAny feedback will be greatly appreciated!\r\n\r\nNote: I am using Release Manager from Celestial Games with this game. This allows me to release patches easily. At the time of submission the latest version is 0.0.4 I will not release any patches until after the judging period is over.","title":"Inkling"}
