I might do some changes later, but the game will stay as it is for now, since that's how I made it during the 48 hours."},{"author_name":"Boodog","author_uid":"27333","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 2:12pm","epoch":1398953220,"text":"Good work!"},{"author_name":"SmilingCat","author_uid":"21630","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 2:31pm","epoch":1398954360,"text":"I hope you do develop this further.
