Starting with a tutorial that explained the controls but left you to experiment with the physics. The graphics looked nice (especially the water) although they didn't feel very original. As stated, the text really was quite hard to read. But the mechanics felt quite elegant with the physics. It was oddly satisfying to chain up a bunch of rafts and try to charge through the level while bouncing all over the place.\r\rGood job!"},{"author_name":"Windmill Games","author_uid":"39002","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 10:31am","epoch":1409048760,"text":"Wow, what an interesting and different game, fun to play and overall well done!"},{"author_name":"Mali","author_uid":"5540","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 1:29pm","epoch":1409059440,"text":"Apparently I can't run it because I'm running 32 bit Windows? :("},{"author_name":"hyouko","author_uid":"31859","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 4:49pm","epoch":1409071440,"text":"@Mali - Ah, sorry about that!
