I spawned a bunch of rats and they kept planting trees then cutting them down. I couldn't figure out anything to do beyond spawning rats and mushrooms and watching them run around, but the concept is great. I love the art and the music as well."},{"author_name":"juaxix","author_uid":"10960","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 11:47am","epoch":1346154120,"text":"Wow, a big sandbox of life, this project has a true potential!"},{"author_name":"levelbylevel","author_uid":"12013","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 11:49am","epoch":1346154240,"text":"interesting game idea :)"},{"author_name":"alvivar","author_uid":"10741","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 11:58am","epoch":1346154780,"text":"Cool idea.

Spawning a few rats and plants made it play on its own, and was quite interesting experience - however, after some time the framerate dropped drastically. The concept is really great and I like the not-so-obvious take on the theme."},{"author_name":"ButtercupSaiyan","author_uid":"4948","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 7:40pm","epoch":1346182500,"text":"I like the idea behind it! Of course it's a bit like Scribblenauts where too many options is overwhelming.\r\rI would show the verb and noun list by default with a button to close it later."},{"author_name":"Nickolai51","author_uid":"14348","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 9:34pm","epoch":1346189340,"text":"Really nice entry, would have to agree with others though that it felt a bit squashed...

An interactive and evolving story. Nice job! :)\r\rIt lag a lot sadly on my computer but played it for some time anyway.\rThere are bug where the story says something happened and it didn't. Like a little brown mushroom appeared - or something like that - and there isn't one. I think maybe it's because you didn't made graphics for it. When I typed 'plants' it isn't showed the correct number - as assume it should show how many of them are on the screen.\rThe placement of the things should be corrected as they tend to be on each other in this small space. Maybe you should tilt the book even.\rThere should be a button to recall previous commands so you can save on typing.\r\rAnyway I encourage you to continue developing this amazing game! :)"},{"author_name":"mohammad","author_uid":"14064","time":"Sep 7, 2012 @ 9:45pm","epoch":1347054000,"text":"Kinda reminds me of ScribbleNauts on playground mode.\rWas as fun as ever though!"},{"author_name":"triliyn","author_uid":"14121","time":"Sep 7, 2012 @ 10:23pm","epoch":1347056280,"text":"This would have been really nice if the objects didn't overlap so much.
