Looks really good and plays very well. However, one big downside: sometimes the objects would "stick" to my mouse. Not sure how it happened but it happened every few times, which was nasty. Aside from that, the sound was cool and the idea solid. Makes for a really good arcade game :)"},{"author_name":"TheGreenTie","author_uid":"7421","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 6:04pm","epoch":1429811940,"text":"@bobismijnnaam\rGood to know!

I really like the game, I played it on my PC and I can imagine that it's really entertaining on a smartphone, too. The graphics and the sound go really well together and the whole game looks pretty ready-for-appstore. Maybe it would have been even better if the compagnion would be animated, I didn't get the purpose of this little guy after I read your description text. Throwing funny things (that are not weapons) towards enemies in order to kill them is not thaaaaat original for this Jam's theme, but I really like your game because of the neat look and feel, and however the game mechanic is entertaining."},{"author_name":"tughan","author_uid":"51083","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 6:25pm","epoch":1429813200,"text":"Good work.

I think the biggest problem is that your Gaston look-alike has more character than the sidekick you're playing as. Also, sometimes the bounding areas on the objects seem a little off (or maybe it's a stacking problem?) even with a mouse. With a little building out, this could be a fun game to kill time on the train. Nice job!"},{"author_name":"f7f5","author_uid":"21437","time":"Apr 30, 2015 @ 6:42pm","epoch":1430419020,"text":"I played on Android and got 27 points on my best try. The dragging was really slick (although when I accidentally dropped my weapon in my bag while dragging, it would fall behind all other objects). Graphics and sound are very good and polished. I like simplicity, but I do think it lacks a bit of depth in terms of gameplay, (for a full mobile phone game, and for my taste) - something to consider if you plan to cotinue the development of this idea."},{"author_name":"rudra","author_uid":"42948","time":"Apr 30, 2015 @ 9:49pm","epoch":1430430240,"text":"Very nice game :) Very simple, entertaining and fun.
