Then it all came together wonderfully. GREAT INTERPRETATION! The animations oh mah GAWD the cuteness factor is off the charts. The little umbrella... ugh. I just wanted to squeeze him... whatever he is. Needs audio. A great song would really tie this together. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I LOVE LUDUM DARE, TOO!"},{"author_name":"edbadiux","author_uid":"12142","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 5:31am","epoch":1335331560,"text":"Great game! I loved the main character and the whole concept. At first I though the name of the game was very generic but I liked the ending of the game and I understand the concept. Great work!
