At one point I did include it, but it broke the flow of the animation. I was going for a turn-based style, but in hindsight I probably should have just fixed the animation.

Usually I associate turn based with a lot more strategic elements--the gameplay emphasizes on taking the time to think--so perhaps just some more interesting features would have gone a long way. Atm though, maybe I just don't understand it? \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I definitely like what you've done so far, and I think this is super promising and hope you'll continue building on it. :D \r<br\/>\r<br\/>P.S. the gems might kind of look like poo..."},{"author_name":"Homletmoo","author_uid":"8408","time":"Dec 22, 2011 @ 12:33am","epoch":1324513680,"text":"Thanks!\r<br\/>I did intend for the traps to be more intricate, but time got the better of me...
