All jokes aside, I feel like you were too focused on making an interesting environment. Like in all seriousness, the landscape was cool to look at and I almost want to explore a world like that (consider making an fps with that sort of environment), exploring is not what I did. What I did was look at an unclear instruction and follow strange orders which seemed to have no bearing, as "game over" is all I got. It felt weird, and it felt clunky, as all my keypresses felt like they weren't being responded to. it felt like I would have to hammer a key to get it to work, even though it was just the game delaying things. Good music is always a good thing in my book."},{"author_name":"Beege","author_uid":"25729","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 7:54pm","epoch":1429645740,"text":"Nice game with an interesting graphics style.
