Excellent, artistic use of the theme. Strangely felt like I was creating art as it progressed. Might be neat if some of the cells took on different sizes. Very neat idea!"},{"author_name":"MagiMaster","author_uid":"23161","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 9:12pm","epoch":1367356020,"text":"Getting a red jumper stuck on a blue box is kind of annoying."},{"author_name":"tcstyle","author_uid":"4834","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 10:14pm","epoch":1367359740,"text":"Too much quick reaction for me.

Takes a while to get used to and in my case it degenerated into a bout of fitfull clicking.

That seems to happen sometimes.\r\rI really like the idea of the game, and the way you have to spread you attention all over the place. I never really felt like I was going to lose all of the runners (since I could just click to get another one) but I did feel concerned about individual runners.\r\rMy high score is 224."},{"author_name":"Hegemege","author_uid":"11022","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 10:58pm","epoch":1367362380,"text":"That was spammy :D\r\rAlthough it became a bit boring after a few minutes, and then it took like 5 minutes for the last 3 red runners to die.

Congratulations!\r\rPerhaps I just didn't get to play enough to see them, but are all the runners of the same type? If so, maybe adding some variety could add more flexibility without detracting from the core experience."},{"author_name":"Mark Hildreth","author_uid":"13982","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 12:40am","epoch":1367368500,"text":"This. This game is what Ludum Dare is about. Amazing. Only thing that would've made this nice is a way to see how I was doing as I try different strategies so I would get feedback on how those strategies were doing (like "points per minute")."},{"author_name":"Jacic","author_uid":"5267","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 12:53am","epoch":1367369280,"text":"Very minimalist, yet still fun!
