The difference is that in my game, collecting items upgrades certain stats, and you can only do it 7 times in the level. But in your game, collecting items upgrades certain stats and also downgrades others. Pretty cool concept!"},{"author_name":"quasist","author_uid":"14722","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 9:01pm","epoch":1346273760,"text":"Since installing love in linux was not an option - I wined the windows version (worked fine, slow loading time)\r\rThis game must not be about food consumption!
