I think mixing up the planets and potatoes more so that the obstacles dont all appear together at the start of the level would help add variety. Great game, thanks!"},{"author_name":"tnovelli","author_uid":"17590","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 11:05pm","epoch":1367276400,"text":"+1 for tagging [Unity web player]... too bad I can't play it on Linux.
