I should have been more clear about the controls - use the arrow keys to move, and left shift, left control and space to use abilities.  WASD does move the character, but I didn't intend for them to, and I should have taken them out."},{"author_name":"Elforama","author_uid":"23982","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 5:22am","epoch":1387171020,"text":"Nice job, I loved the jumping mechanic."},{"author_name":"whiteknife","author_uid":"30189","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 5:27am","epoch":1387171320,"text":"The controls are annoying, but this is a really creative idea, a funny premise, and great art, along with a solid soundtrack.

The game was super charming though. Smart work on the graphics-- color and detail where it matters, easy to read monochrome for everything else. Fun game."},{"author_name":"zconnelly13","author_uid":"3372","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 5:30am","epoch":1387171500,"text":"I loved the music and the graphics! The controls, however, were pretty unintuitive and frustrating. But I got the hang of it :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Reminded me of katamari and I loved it.

I especially liked floating about and jumping off things. The challenge of getting my one-eyed, one-tentacled fellow to bounce and float just where I wanted him to go was a lot of fun, but the difficulty of the task should level more slowly. Also I think the peppy music choice was perfect for the task at hand! Lastly, I found using my pinky to press CTRL to munch on mortals really hard to isolate (especially when holding the shift button to float and arrows to move). So using another finger for eating would have made this task easier. Overall, a really fun experience and my curiosity is piqued! Would love to play more levels if there were some!"},{"author_name":"postmodestie","author_uid":"8113","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 11:27pm","epoch":1387322520,"text":"Very very enjoyable, but it would be great if there where some dangers, or maybe i didn't play long enough (3-4 levels)."},{"author_name":"DrPrettyPatty","author_uid":"30068","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 4:37am","epoch":1387427520,"text":"I was sad when it ended, I wanted more!

Cool and simple look, good vibe, creative interpretation of the YOGO theme. There were some clever and surprising moments (the four bugs that you had to eat in order of largeness), and the final level was hilarious. I would love to see it fleshed out into a longer game. Maybe get a better sense of the Arkham beastie's character? (Does he just want to prove that he can be as abnormal and indescribable as any other Elder One?!) Once you get the controls figured out, I feel like it has some serious potential to scale into something really awesome. Agree with nina77 about having the game wait to put you in those trickier situations a little later on...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, well done! I want to see this evolve!"},{"author_name":"Nelien","author_uid":"30744","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 8:56pm","epoch":1387486260,"text":"That's an awesome game you've got there!
