I'd wanted to have lots of items and interactions so that people wouldn't get stuck, and everybody could discover different things and have their own experience. I spent too long on the engine and atmosphere, so I ran out of time to add all those things. So for now the game is more of a guessing game where you try to figure out how I intended each item to be used.\r\rThere's even some secret music in the game! It's sad to think that not many people will find it, but I guess that's the beauty in secrets :)"},{"author_name":"geckojsc","author_uid":"5246","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 7:16pm","epoch":1418152260,"text":"OneMuppet: you put the thing on the thing and then combined it with the other thing? ;)\r\rThanks for playing though guys!
