Awesome !\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It looks like you have a very decent engine here, plus the talent to write good stories. This one really works well, very good ending ;)"},{"author_name":"randomhuman","author_uid":"56477","time":"Sep 7, 2016 @ 12:23pm","epoch":1473250680,"text":"I really like this &quot;interstellar scouts&quot; concept you've come up with, and the ineptitude of the aliens is fun. It's a real reversal of the usual (sincere) portrayal of ancient aliens helping an inexplicably incapable human civilisation move the big rocks around, which I've always found insulting.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>So, fun game! The big crash noise scared the shit out of me though, and it could use some music."},{"author_name":"Mathieu Muller","author_uid":"40544","time":"Sep 7, 2016 @ 9:25pm","epoch":1473283200,"text":"Usually, I'm not fond of visual novels, but I loved the humor in this one. Note that it's too bad that, when choosing the &quot;paint&quot; option you won't have any choice until the end of the game. I restarted it many times to explore all options, the other options were great!"},{"author_name":"ohsqueezy","author_uid":"10718","time":"Sep 8, 2016 @ 7:57am","epoch":1473321120,"text":"YAS great video game, the best parts are when the alien sneezes and when the aliens make crop circles to practice writing"},{"author_name":"Jupiter_Hadley","author_uid":"27744","time":"Sep 8, 2016 @ 4:46pm","epoch":1473352860,"text":"Funny concept!

Normally, I'm a little hesitant when I see someone made a visual novel, and I feel like they phoned it in, but this operated surprisingly well!

I explored each option and I found some of them have less choice next. Maybe you need to balance each option in order to get a story with the same length in each option.\r<br\/>Nice job!"},{"author_name":"MikeTheWayne","author_uid":"38926","time":"Sep 17, 2016 @ 11:09am","epoch":1474110240,"text":"Hilarious entry, very nice!
