Some sounds and music would've been a nice edition.\r\rCool mechanics. Felt kinda like snake with a twist. The dual-view was cool. I kind of wish the top part were larger and easier to see. Overall, fun game.

It took me a minute to understand that the people stayed where they were even after you could no longer sense them. I felt like the quantity of meaningless and identical shrubbery was more confusing than helpful. I wish that you could see people on the lower map when you are really close to them or something. Although I haven't mastered using the upper view yet, so maybe that is why I feel this way. Very challenging, and lots of replayability!"}],"images":["ld29\/26297-02f3e0b0a228d4a4f169a97ea764bf0b.jpg","ld29\/26297-8a4ee54e69373bcdb41cc8e7a3b52d19.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/a2xpe1dgqofio6v\/Sand%26Spice-GhostMaple.exe","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/iieppt083gsgxa7\/Sand%26Spice-GhostMaple.apk","text":"Android (.apk)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"18297","g_author":"26297","g_event":"LD29","g_eventkey":"22","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"18326","g_title":"Amongst the Sand & Spice","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"591","g_commentcount":"19","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\/\/342546\/26297-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/26297-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"You are a hungry sandworm beneath the sands of a desert planet.
