Love the style, and the fact that the game is instantly playable without reading any long description.\r<br\/>I think the playability would even be higher when I could click near the trap instead of the red trigger. Then I would have more time to think about using the right trap instead of trying to hit the trigger with the mouse."},{"author_name":"Lukbebalduke","author_uid":"26331","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 10:51pm","epoch":1429569960,"text":"Pretty good!
