Horribly broken, I fall through almost every platform. Also, there's a point where random dead robots fall from the sky for no reason and the game ceases to do anything interactive. I don't see how the theme fits."},{"author_name":"ddionisio","author_uid":"17724","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 5:35am","epoch":1355808600,"text":"Well, the art definitely caught my attention.

The console spits out numbers going up to 7, if that tells you anything.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'd like to see what your team could do with a little more time (and, how do you say, a little less booze. Focus, grasshopper!)"},{"author_name":"lur","author_uid":"18582","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 6:51am","epoch":1355813160,"text":"The art is wonderful and the gameplay is really smooth.

The game ended too fast but I feel this mechanic has a lot to give with incredibly cool levels and platforming puzzles. Of course the art was also great but I think the experience suffered a lot from the lack of sound, a soothing melody would make it all the more gripping!"},{"author_name":"Cyboot","author_uid":"10242","time":"Dec 20, 2012 @ 8:05pm","epoch":1356033600,"text":"pretty cool graphics, i loved the drawing art.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The game itself is of course much to short.

To bad there wasn't more time, would have liked to see how you used the death mechanic more. The delay in the jump was a bit annoying (Granted i'm not one for warm-up animations as a mechanic). Also on Windows, if you click out of the game, then click back in, you fall through the ground."},{"author_name":"GeorgeBroussard","author_uid":"8631","time":"Jan 3, 2013 @ 7:18am","epoch":1357197180,"text":"I like the art style here a lot.

The game's gimmick is that when you die you leave trash behind and you can walk over it. The game got cut a little(read a lot) short the on the final screen each body you left behind falls into the land fill. I meant to have a credit screen here but I didn't get to it in time. The theme is that your struggle to get out of the dump ends up making more pollution. \r\n\r\nI apologize if you fall through the platform It doesn't happen on my computer. \r\n\r\nCode by Cameron Harding\r\nArt by Anton Thrall<\/p>","title":"Terra Day Massacre"}
