The music and sounds, while comical at first, were definitely not my cup of tea and quickly grew annoying. Staring at that face was pretty unsettling (no offense to whoever's face it was!), but I did like that the expression changed the more damage you took. I also really enjoyed the remarks the frowny faces made, really added to the whole feeling of trying to destroy those little nagging thoughts in the back of your mind, or &quot;under the surface,&quot; if you will.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Really wish I could've used my mouse to aim instead of awsd. Also, in chrome the music didn't start again after I died (although I didn't mind :P)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, it was pretty fun, although I didn't really have any desire to try again from the beginning after I died. I think you accomplished what you set out to do in terms of theme, so good job."},{"author_name":"abayb","author_uid":"34217","time":"May 8, 2014 @ 12:01am","epoch":1399506960,"text":"That was amazing."},{"author_name":"bvssvni","author_uid":"19918","time":"May 12, 2014 @ 8:06pm","epoch":1399924860,"text":"Bom bom bom bom bom..."},{"author_name":"PetorialC","author_uid":"38303","time":"May 19, 2014 @ 2:04am","epoch":1400464740,"text":"Ha ha nice"},{"author_name":"leo_gri","author_uid":"19738","time":"May 19, 2014 @ 8:32pm","epoch":1400531220,"text":"Hilarious ! :D"}],"images":["ld29\/6545-59072755a0dc9a465da38df10819b80b.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/static.lrnk.co.uk\/ludumdare29","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/laurieboyes\/beneath-this-cool-calm-exterior","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"19569","g_author":"6545","g_event":"LD29","g_eventkey":"22","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"19598","g_title":"Beneath this cool, calm exterior","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"447","g_commentcount":"25","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\/6545-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"My first ever entry!
