There also wasn't a very strong visual difference between them. This seemed more like a meta-style game (more sim-like) than a hands-on one. Could be a good pick-up-and-play type game for the ipad."},{"author_name":"vilya","author_uid":"10456","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 12:39pm","epoch":1346070840,"text":"I don't really get it.

I tried both methods, and everyone died of hunger really fast, regardless of what I did.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I feel like besides that, this game is quite interesting, for something made in 48 hours. Definitely do something with it post-comp; I'd love to see this idea further fleshed out."},{"author_name":"Datw","author_uid":"11318","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 5:29pm","epoch":1346088240,"text":"The idea seems good, but I couldn't figure out how to make 'em not starve to death :(."},{"author_name":"Barry Abrams","author_uid":"14387","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 12:52pm","epoch":1346158020,"text":"Loved the music.

Also it seems like you have produced a quite impressive amount of work in here, given the minimap, etc. So what you came with in 48hrs is pretty cool, only the game is not very fun to play overall.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>For the next LD you'll join, my advice would be to take some time to put yourself a bit more in the shoes of the player - and maybe make some friends test the game before the 48 hours end - and I'm pretty sure you will come up with an awesome game."},{"author_name":"pjchardt","author_uid":"13158","time":"Sep 11, 2012 @ 1:46am","epoch":1347327660,"text":"Appreciate the idea and having to create a path for my species to follow could be really interesting.
