I couldn't get any progress either. And I exercised every day! Excellent music, and I'm all about the as3.

You'll notice the change in 2 days or so. And no, I don't use flashpunk. I know that frameworks are very cool and easy to work with and are just created for such short-term competitions like LD but I'm not a bit fan of them. The game is written in pure as3."},{"author_name":"madflame991","author_uid":"5035","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 8:24pm","epoch":1335298740,"text":"You're the first one I see that actually made a "Tiny world" themed game.

So I'll say, good graphics, music, idea, but a bit too short as a game. Good work anyway."},{"author_name":"Fireblend","author_uid":"10166","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 4:10am","epoch":1335413100,"text":"Haha, that was sweet and fun. I did look at the comments beforehand so I knew what to do, but I thought it was pretty well implemented, and it fits the theme really well. Good job!"},{"author_name":"Law","author_uid":"12215","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 10:49am","epoch":1335523440,"text":"A tiny concept. A tiny protagonist. A tiny activity.

There was a little feedback with the exercising when it says "I feel strong!" and "So close!", but there was no indication that the food or sleep did anything. I guessed that I needed to sleep between, and eat before exercising based on the initial dialogue. With that said, the mood was great and I like what you did with such a limited set of pixels - minimalist-chic. It was pretty polished. You chose your scope well."},{"author_name":"Hazard","author_uid":"7512","time":"May 1, 2012 @ 4:10pm","epoch":1335888300,"text":"I liked the mood a lot and was really looking forward to what happens next while playing. But i was a bit disappointed by the rather bland ending after 3 days of doing the same without anything really happening.

The mood, the music, the way Hank moves so slowly, all combined to create a very believable experience. \r\rIt was short, but really cool.
