For some reason I found the input to be off -- I kept clicking on things and finding it didn't register. That being said, I think I got the gist of things when it did work. It would be interesting to see what you could do to make the gameplay more interesting even as Larry evolves. For instance, maybe you could combine ingredients in some manner, or erect structures from ingredients..."},{"author_name":"gabeochoa","author_uid":"2772","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 4:09am","epoch":1346040240,"text":"Alot of the 'food' kept piling up and clicks were a bit off\r<br\/>but really fun"},{"author_name":"eyehawk","author_uid":"15255","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 9:34am","epoch":1346059740,"text":"Really cool original artwork and sounds.  It has an excellent funny quirky vibe to it.  In terms of feedback, the game gets a little repetitive, if you could find some way of changing up the game play a bit it would be even more awesome!"},{"author_name":"sara.mena","author_uid":"14622","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 9:55am","epoch":1346061000,"text":"i like this one, quite a good presentation, and also great colors. I had fun playing it. Although the clicks were a bit off I could finnish the game and I actually like how it becomes harder to avoid other foods when larry is bigger. Also like the sounds effect when larry eats :)"},{"author_name":"Citiral","author_uid":"6637","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 12:01pm","epoch":1346068560,"text":"Really nice graphics, the game was pretty fun, and actually got hard near the end. One problem I had was that a lot of the food spawned in each other, and started spazzing out. Nice game though."},{"author_name":"Folis","author_uid":"2494","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 12:53pm","epoch":1346071680,"text":"I enjoyed the game thoroughly!

I think you did very well in setting a smaller scope to deal with and actually get it done by 48h.
