I found the controls to be a bit tough getting used to until I realized how they worked exactly. The only problem I have with the game is that it's a bit hard to know wether you can eat another centipede or not."},{"author_name":"Spunkmeyer","author_uid":"2345","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 12:59pm","epoch":1346072040,"text":"Hard to control the player.

Also, the controlling mechanics are unusual and fun, takes some time to get good at it but then it's good. Great job!"},{"author_name":"Benjamin","author_uid":"2952","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 3:33pm","epoch":1346081280,"text":"Cool game ! It must be very a lot of fun with multiplayer. The hitbox of bonus is a too small. I would keep the same size for IA but make it larger for player :)"},{"author_name":"Ditto","author_uid":"14669","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 3:39pm","epoch":1346081640,"text":"Benjamin, I think you are right, well, too late now!"},{"author_name":"thewiseguy99","author_uid":"14421","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 7:17pm","epoch":1346094720,"text":"I agree with the others. It is very clean, very very addicting and could be replayed without losing appeal. The controls are actually good IMHO, a bit slippery but require some skill ad work. I unfortunately couldn't test the multi-player part but I can see that really being an engaging feature with friends. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Very good entry Ditto. Thanks for sharing it with us!!"},{"author_name":"aschearer","author_uid":"15160","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 11:26am","epoch":1346152860,"text":"I found it very hard to control. In fact using the arrow keys I found it literally impossible to play. Once I used the mouse it was a bit better. It was kind of fun to try to grab the power ups and devour the enemies, but I am not sure I would keep playing for more than 5 or 10 minutes. If you tighten up the controls you might be able to make this game feel more skillful which would help keep the player's interest."},{"author_name":"Ditto","author_uid":"14669","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 11:35am","epoch":1346153400,"text":"In fact, the more apples you eat, the better you steer, but I could possibly agree it's a bit slippery in the early game.."},{"author_name":"olav_st","author_uid":"7758","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 12:28pm","epoch":1346156580,"text":"Yeah, the controls felt very sluggish at first.

You managed to deliver in every category.  A little more feedback about what the different appearances mean and what your offensive capabilities are would help.
