What I really missed in this game is a losing condition. Games become boring really fast by not being able to lose. In this game you just bump into enemies bigger than you, which is good because sometimes it is not entirely clear who you can eat or not, but there is not really a challenge in this game and thus the biggest part is not getting bored and reach the amazing ending."},{"author_name":"tehryanx","author_uid":"34623","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 6:14pm","epoch":1398708540,"text":"accidental commentary on the consumer culture paradigm?

I enjoy that Spore aspect of gameplay, of getting larger and being able to consume the things that were once huge to you.  The graphics were really nice, and I like how you confined the mole within the circular planet.  Gives you a fun sense of scale of how much you grew.  I would be interested to see how this concept could evolve.  Great job, regardless!"},{"author_name":"Rose","author_uid":"7352","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 7:37pm","epoch":1398713520,"text":"This is really fun! I don't think you need a lose condition.
