It would be nice if it led you slowly into it, or there was a reference every turn. The music and graphics are really neat. However, there isn't much indication of what you're doing. It might be better as an online game with proper ladders, as you could show what each player is doing without worrying about the other team seeing it."},{"author_name":"jachepe","author_uid":"44966","time":"Dec 20, 2014 @ 5:33pm","epoch":1419096480,"text":"Awesome game, very fun!"},{"author_name":"Lacaranian","author_uid":"34171","time":"Dec 28, 2014 @ 9:19pm","epoch":1419801240,"text":"dem bugs what are they?!?!"},{"author_name":"maxmetallica","author_uid":"47374","time":"Dec 29, 2014 @ 7:21pm","epoch":1419880560,"text":"really nice concept"},{"author_name":"01rafael","author_uid":"11984","time":"Dec 29, 2014 @ 7:23pm","epoch":1419880680,"text":"Lovely bugs!
