Do not take it personally.***\r<br\/>\r<br\/>When hundreds of people make non-browser games, that means that, to play all of the entries, I would need to download hundreds of games to my computer.

I got the impression that certain plays of the game just didn't provide a distribution of propane that would allow you to win the game, and so it became more dependent on luck rather than skill whether you actually won the game. Also, I thought the propane tanks were bombs to start with. :D"},{"author_name":"Kayamon","author_uid":"2658","time":"Apr 30, 2012 @ 2:34am","epoch":1335752940,"text":"WHY AM I IN A CATBALLOON?"},{"author_name":"derosa","author_uid":"5049","time":"May 7, 2012 @ 8:37pm","epoch":1336422720,"text":"As trylle said, the distribution of propane does not always feel right.

Alone.\r\nGet into orbit to win.\r\nControls: Arrow Keys (Left & Right)\r\n\r\nThis is Hikari1100 and StayDynamic's first Ludum Dare.\r\nWe planned on working alone for the Jam in Java.\r\nWe met this really awesome guy on the IRC who goes by Zapa.\r\nZapa wanted to work in C++ and GDK but needed help since he was releasing a new game with his company and needed to be at work for most of the event.\r\nI thought it would be cool to work in C++ given that I only had less than a few months to work with SDL.\r\nAll three of us started out ok on the first day but over time Zapa was continually called into work and I was the main programmer.\r\nZapa tried as best he could to help us out.  He even stayed awake for more than three days between work and us just to help us.\r\nUnfortunately, Zapa disappeared on Sunday\r\nI really wanted to finsh a game though so I gave up on C++ and coded the entire game from scratch in Java.\r\nHere is our finished product.\r\n\r\nOur thanks go to Zapa for being awesome.\r\n\r\nMake sure you have the newest Java Runtime Environment installed.\r\n\r\nIf you have any questions or concerns email me @ staydynamic@gmail.com\r\n\r\nPS: Collect the propane tanks to get more propane.<\/p>","title":"Escape this Tiny World Alone"}
