I didn't get the controls quickly enough but I very much like the ambiente. The graphics and audio are very stylish and bring over a specific mood very well."},{"author_name":"enteagd","author_uid":"25667","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 2:50pm","epoch":1409237100,"text":"Very dark, creepy take on the theme. Loved how jabbing different parts of the doll elicited different responses on the screen. Excellent graphics, audio and overall mood."},{"author_name":"Nooner Bear","author_uid":"41949","time":"Aug 30, 2014 @ 7:28pm","epoch":1409426580,"text":"Haha, the mood here is great. Awesome work.

On the other hand I had a bit of trouble trying to figure out how the controls work."},{"author_name":"AlbertoSM","author_uid":"18201","time":"Sep 2, 2014 @ 8:15pm","epoch":1409688600,"text":"The atmosphere is daunting...love the idea. A bit misleading tho, since from the beginning you think that the voodoo doll shouldn't be pierced. Plus the keyboard controls function by themselves, so interacting with the doll is less immediate than the keyboard controls.\r<br\/>It could've used a little more variety, but the overall result is top-notch :)"},{"author_name":"Lokarunith","author_uid":"25012","time":"Sep 9, 2014 @ 1:39am","epoch":1410226440,"text":"Terrific! Loved the idea and the execution is also excellent, in terms of gameplay it still could be improved, more positions to pierce the doll which cause new actions and reducing the space between the obstacles so it gets much more challenging xD"},{"author_name":"Mike Mezhenin","author_uid":"34229","time":"Sep 9, 2014 @ 7:38pm","epoch":1410291180,"text":"Great idea! I'd love to play a big game with voodoo controls."}],"images":["ld30\/42351-5f58c06445f55cff2533ea7d6c6e220a.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.vulpinegames.com\/games\/thepike.html","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.vulpinegames.com\/download\/thepike.zip","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"17745","g_author":"42351","g_event":"LD30","g_eventkey":"24","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"17774","g_title":"The Pike","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"7","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\/\/375043\/42351-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"The Pike is a bit twisted Voodoo controlled infinite runner.
