A bit weird though that losing one of the species is not a fail condition. As it is now it's pretty easy to survive if you connect everything except the lions island."},{"author_name":"BradSmallPlanet","author_uid":"39744","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 11:14pm","epoch":1409008140,"text":"I like the idea, but was tough to distinguish which animals were which."},{"author_name":"Steve | tacospice","author_uid":"26369","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 1:12pm","epoch":1409058420,"text":"Interesting idea.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The interface is kind of so-so though, and the graphics leave something to be desired.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I like the take on the theme though."},{"author_name":"c023-dev","author_uid":"19370","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 4:28pm","epoch":1409070180,"text":"Lovely colors!
