I didn't really understand what was going on, everything was so random - but to a point where this becomes a plus. The gameplay itself was all right, with some collision issues, and quite hard when I didn't walk along the borders (which became the only winning strategy for me). But what stuck with me was the randomness. The various objects were strange enough (potato bonus FTW), but what I loved were the sound effects, and also the intro screen. That way, I was already expecting something wacky, and the game didn't disappoint me.\r<br\/>   All in all, an unexpected entry with some issues, but what shines through in the end is the fun you obviously had while making it. Also, kudos for trying to make a game with a new technology, I'd have had to study for weeks before coming up with something like that."},{"author_name":"kyyninen","author_uid":"21389","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 3:39pm","epoch":1367508840,"text":"I don't see myself playing this again, but it was fun enough while it lasted :D Animations and sounds were amusing!"},{"author_name":"SecondDimension","author_uid":"14838","time":"May 3, 2013 @ 10:31pm","epoch":1367619960,"text":"I was trying to get the kitty and I couldn't catch it, man I really wanted that kitty.

Also I have a final tomorrow.\r\n\r\nI think a last-minute sleep-deprived change has led to some sporadic bugginess in the collision detection. I'll fix it when I get a chance but otherwise the game is complete and more or less running as intended. UPDATE: I fixed the typo leading to collision problems. Things are lookin' good.\r\n\r\nAlso, true Minimalists only walk orthogonally. also it's my first-ever entry and obviously the very definition of the effects of sleep deprivation on the brain. \r\n\r\nThe object of the game is to walk around and try to hold onto small objects while avoiding the large ones.
