Summer with matt black and edges is not so great mind.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I liked the painting mechanic, and how jumping meant you didn't paint hte ground, but still streamed seeds there."},{"author_name":"d_durham","author_uid":"11520","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 12:23pm","epoch":1367237880,"text":"I like it.
