This was very interesting. It was very funny, the funniest entry I played so far. I laughed out loud. Religion and art were my favorite parts.\r\rMy smile went away pretty fast at that war.

It was generally quite clear how to accomplish each task. I was a bit confused on the art task because it was a bit hard to pick up the pigment. I thought I had to drop the hammer first.

I really appreciate the "figure it out yourself" design mentality of all the microgames. Some games, I felt, read better than others. I particularly struggled with the art one, mainly because it was really hard to click on the red rock shards while still holding holding the chisel. Ending was a interesting twist. I liked that you can get different readings from it depending on how you play (aggressive vs passive)."},{"author_name":"Will Edwards","author_uid":"10313","time":"Sep 7, 2016 @ 7:15am","epoch":1473232200,"text":"A real sense of progression :)\r\rI was rather hoping it would go all the way to the modern era and turn into a social commentrary on us un-learning and becoming regressive :)"}],"images":["ld36\/47199-6c282c9469f53f0c8e2f3d3001c013ff.jpg","ld36\/47199-28fc06067b1a6d498345412dae69dc8a.jpg","ld36\/47199-a89d59898a2a98e8844ee9a743f4bf72.jpg","ld36\/47199-d9be872418191e3452933a85c0cd2897.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/silkworm-sweatshop.itch.io\/touch-the-monolith-ld36","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/silkworm-sweatshop.itch.io\/touch-the-monolith-ld36","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8ucxmP1wgA4","text":"Video playthrough"},{"url":"https:\/\/silkworm-sweatshop.itch.io\/touch-the-monolith-ld36","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"1476","g_author":"47199","g_event":"LD36","g_eventkey":"35","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"1437","g_title":"Touch the Monolith","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"24","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/47199-shot0-1472400397.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/47199-shot1-1472400397.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/47199-shot2-1472400397.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/47199-shot3-1472400397.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Touch the Monolith is a micropuzzle game akin to something like WarioWare but without a time limit.
