I was cool squashing guys and turning them into minions. The gameplay gets a little stale after awhile. Add in some more varied gameplay and sound and it'll be great."},{"author_name":"OU GDA","author_uid":"19139","time":"Dec 25, 2012 @ 6:28am","epoch":1356416580,"text":"wasn't entirely sure what was going on most of the time. You can beat it by spamming the stomp and only staying next to the crystals as long as you have to. I'm assuming the villain part comes in since you are killing a bunch of guys (The named tombstones was a nice touch). The Tower locator was helpful in keeping a bearing on where I was. One for the nearest crystals would have been helpful on finding the last few. Also, being able to see the AI states was fun."},{"author_name":"PaulSB","author_uid":"1626","time":"Dec 25, 2012 @ 9:01pm","epoch":1356468960,"text":"Pretty good, stomping about was kinda fun. Liked the little named minions and their various emotional states. I did just seem to be stomping for the sake of stomping as it went on, some variety or extra purpose may have helped."},{"author_name":"JFlegle","author_uid":"17748","time":"Dec 26, 2012 @ 12:02am","epoch":1356479820,"text":"A unique game but not enough here to keep me playing.
