I agree the main problems are feedback and depth - I was trying to keep it minimalist and simple, to just play with flow, but it definitely could do with more time spent on polish :)"},{"author_name":"HeuGamer","author_uid":"10826","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 3:09am","epoch":1335409440,"text":"I love the concept and the controls were very well."},{"author_name":"free_napalm","author_uid":"12423","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 7:37pm","epoch":1335468720,"text":"Smooth gameplay, nice atmosphere with fitting music. I can not really think of one thing I would add to it without changing the concept.\r<br\/>The way it is, it's a good game with a great concept. Well done!\r<br\/>P.S.: Redheads as cargo?
