I like the concept and the style but are the enemies supposed to die when they hit you? felt like they should have been hurting me but they weren't"},{"author_name":"Toast","author_uid":"6788","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 2:06pm","epoch":1335189660,"text":"I really like the visuals and setting, you obviously put alot of time into looks here. I found the main character a little dissappointing though, and I'm not sure I understand the controls - maybe it went over my head. Great job!"},{"author_name":"coolo","author_uid":"11847","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 4:23pm","epoch":1335197880,"text":"Awesome game! Nice graphics (for 8 hours) and interesting concept!
