Yeah it's such a shame, I had that stuff planned out, and the engine is ready  to take different level data, it's just a matter modifying a json file. Hopefully next LD I'll have a better sense of what's possible within the time.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'll do up a post-compo version with all the nice features :)"},{"author_name":"Salamander3","author_uid":"20648","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 9:38am","epoch":1367227980,"text":"Huge smile on my face the entire time I played this.

D: Mashing lots of buttons quickly was almost more fun than following the beat, movement-wise. Nice job on synchronising the letters to the beats all the way through. But the music needs to repeat! Dancing to nothing is weird."},{"author_name":"goerp","author_uid":"14225","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 1:15pm","epoch":1367327400,"text":"Haha, have you been looking at Wikipedia? Being Dutch I know his name is actually Mondriaan.\r<br\/>Very good!\r<br\/>Good graphics and the music is good (I heard it end though, so looping would be better).\r<br\/>The movements look funny. Levelups make the game more interesting.\r<br\/>Maybe a bit too easy but for Ludum Dare that is a good thing (my game is too hard, so most people will not see most content)."},{"author_name":"pansapiens","author_uid":"198","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 11:33pm","epoch":1367364480,"text":"Great music, fun crazy game. Crosshairs were a little hard to see at times, maybe slightly thicker\/coloured lines would be good, since it's something that you really need to see. Seemed like the difficulty stops ramping up after a while - I got past 3 or 4 levels and then it didn't seem to get harder. Then I just made Piet dance crazy for a little while, which was really fun :) Which gives me an idea - a 'dance crazy' bonus round where you just have to tap everything fast, maybe with point for style (mixing up limbs, making them do full circles). Thanks for the LOLs :)"},{"author_name":"whitetigle","author_uid":"2966","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 1:16pm","epoch":1367500260,"text":"This is the game! So hilarious!
