Its really challenging, especially when I am moving peaces that almost explode and another one spawns infront of it.\nAlso love that they are not just blocks but accual tasks.\nGreat Job! :)\n\nI do think some backgroundmusic would be nice though :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"evandowning","author_uid":"1011967","time":"2017-12-04T20:49:53Z","epoch":1512420593,"modified":1512420593,"text":"Very challenging.

Nice! First one I've seen this LD. :)\n \nI played it a couple times. Read the description. I guess I still don't really understand the filling up thing very well. Maybe an animated tutorial or something to start, if you keep working on it, to show people a little more explicitly what's what and why?  \n\nBut as a puzzle game I REALLY like the idea a lot.

I enjoyed the \"time management meets tetris\" mechanic a lot.\n\nI didn't get to use the Delegate boxes (probably that's why I didn't get past 1000-thousand :sweat_smile:), and I think that at one point on my first game the player token got bugged and overlapped with one of the pieces.\n\nOther than that, this is one of the most interesting entries I've played so far.
