Strange how human motivation works :D I played it 12 minutes and 37 seconds. "Skilling" is such a nice mechanic. If you make a post-compo-version, just add sounds for eating or obstacles which hurt. Or a skilltree instead of choosing two options.\r\r(Feel free to rate my game and give me feedback by clicking on my name)"},{"author_name":"turnip","author_uid":"16168","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 1:02pm","epoch":1346072220,"text":"I really liked this game! But it is a bit grindy! It would have been just as fun if it took less food to level up. I completed in 13 minutes 33 seconds - by the end I just left it running on it's own - the game could have done with a bit more challenge after a few levels maybe.\r\rGood job!"},{"author_name":"madpew","author_uid":"2196","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 1:24pm","epoch":1346073540,"text":"12:33, nice idea.
