That greedy turtle is also a slave driver!\r\rThe way it is balanced right now, I think the game focuses more on clicking than moving, and more movement force added per click would help. That way it would focus more on planning and maneuvering rather than button mashing, while still keeping the controls intact. I think the plans you have are great. They would add a layer of complexity so that the game doesn't fall into the trap of the linear "click everything you see, nothing is wrong, fight against time"-style. With a secondary, parallel task, this has the potential to become totally addictive :)"},{"author_name":"iShadow","author_uid":"44857","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 11:11pm","epoch":1418079960,"text":"Although there's no music and graphics is rather basic, gameplay is just fun.
