The objective says: get 5 milk. You need to go from house to house, press space and gather 5 liters of milk that way.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Then, your hp increases. Now you need to rob banks (by walking over the bank tile and pressing space, damaging the bank and eventually dropping it's hp to 0 and getting money), then restore health at the hospital. Etc, etc :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good luck!"},{"author_name":"loren","author_uid":"17687","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 4:30pm","epoch":1355761500,"text":"Nice world size, I liked the game :)"},{"author_name":"Crimsoneer","author_uid":"17652","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 7:40pm","epoch":1355772900,"text":"Interesting game, but didn't really have that much fun...nice concept though!

I would often move multiple steps with a single keypress and messages didn't display long enough for me to read.

By that time, ideally, you have around 3 damage and close to 4 hitpoints. You can't kill them, but you can withstand one hit, so the idea was to keep avoiding them. Once you continue getting stronger from Gyms and Fight clubs - it won't be much of a problem. I do recognize now that I should have documented it better. Thanks for the kind feedback, I appreciate it."},{"author_name":"goerp","author_uid":"14225","time":"Dec 29, 2012 @ 2:56pm","epoch":1356792660,"text":"Funny character you created.
