Fun! You and I made similar games in theme but yours is far more challenging and rewarding to play. Reminds me of an old penguin game I used to play on Master System. I got to the end after beating the last level in one attempt. I was very proud of myself. :p But you should be proud, too because this game is pretty cool!"},{"author_name":"niculistana","author_uid":"35234","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 8:34am","epoch":1398846540,"text":"I chose to look up this game because it had the same title as the game I made.
