I felt the balance was good and I definitely had a hard time trying to choose bottles or speed.\n\nI think perhaps an arrow to show the direction Mike is in would be nice since it can be hard to find him when loaded with bottles! Otherwise, perhaps some upgrades and\/or powerups would be cool.\n\nNice job! I enjoyed it :)","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"WilsonOli1101","author_uid":"1000140","time":"2017-12-05T18:25:47Z","epoch":1512498347,"modified":1512498347,"text":"Very fun, but quite easy. I would recommend associating a more noteworthy penalty to being caught, otherwise you can just kill off a whole horde of skeletons as soon as you've dropped off at Mike. I love the music too.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"CaramelCode","author_uid":"1012131","time":"2017-12-05T18:27:57Z","epoch":1512498477,"modified":1512498477,"text":"Hey!  I loved your intro text, very creative, and cute!  \"The skeletons, bottles and lots of grass planet\"  part totally made me laugh :D  It does have a few minor typos you should clean up.\n\nThe game itself was fun!  I think it would be a lot more fun if Mike would spawn in the same position each time,  so when I see his icon appear I know where to run back to to drop off my bottles.  Right now it's only random chance that I run into Mike, so it's a bit frustrating.  I loved the music an sound effects also.

I need to know where he is so I can give him the things. 15 seconds is far too short of a time to look around the map while slowed down. I think everything else works well though.

Game play left me wanting. Not terribly deep but the programming is solid. I like the level design and use of obstacles.

My solution, wait at the midle of the world to kill all skeletons, when the guy appear, run as fast as you can to find him and get the bottles around him. Maybe need life to completly avoid the skeleton s. I think the diminution of the speed is not a good solution for fun.\n\nPs : Sorry for my english, i'm french :p","likes":2,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld40\/59298-8f29b71e870ac0130d88eba25ddf0223.png"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/theguard.ticloop.com","text":"HTML5 (web)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"46003","g_author":"1035381","g_event":"LD40","g_eventkey":"70","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"243932","g_title":"The Pickups","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"1005","g_commentcount":"14","g_site2_node_id":"59298","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"59298","n_urlkey":"243932","n_parent":"49883","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/40\/the-pickups","n_slug":"the-pickups","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"35381","n_created":"1512163854","n_modified":"1512496979","n_version":"198011","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":59298,"parent":49883,"superparent":9,"author":35381,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2017-12-04T23:06:19Z","created":"2017-12-01T21:30:54Z","modified":"2017-12-05T18:02:59Z","version":198011,"slug":"the-pickups","name":"The Pickups","body":"Find and pick as many bottles as possible while you stay away from the evil skeletons.
