But... it seemed to at least work, as far as the animation cycle and stuff was concerned. Some in-game guidance would be good, for the first seed or two."},{"author_name":"Squid Blink Games","author_uid":"35330","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 5:11am","epoch":1450328760,"text":"I'm uh ... not sure what's going on but I managed to win, I think? I ate everything :)\r\rI feel like planting the seed was really trial and error and that wasn't really fun.

The seed planting seemed to make sense - but I don't know why the first and second phases were separate - they just seemed to do the same thing, and the first phase seemed meaningless.\rEating everything was quite the twist."},{"author_name":"cardboard","author_uid":"16294","time":"Dec 23, 2015 @ 7:07am","epoch":1450854120,"text":"Wonderfully charming game, even moreso than usual, thanks to the great music. The gameplay was enjoyable. I wasn't sure what the difference between phases one and two were, but both growing a seed and eating everything were fun, and especially the latter. Great game as always, with lots of heart :D"},{"author_name":"zulman","author_uid":"31114","time":"Dec 26, 2015 @ 7:32pm","epoch":1451158020,"text":"It wasn't clear how to decide which type of ground is right for the seed. So I played several times, watched how plant grows and then the game over screen pop out. Once I chose the right ground, but failed at the second phase. The game mechanics is not clear at all. However, the music and animations are nice."},{"author_name":"davidcmcdonald","author_uid":"43146","time":"Dec 27, 2015 @ 4:34am","epoch":1451190540,"text":"i saw your timelapse video, good to see."},{"author_name":"MercuryXGames","author_uid":"56141","time":"Dec 27, 2015 @ 10:12am","epoch":1451210820,"text":"everything happened too fast, I couldn't help it.

Great fun, shame its not a full game - I suspect you fell into the old trap of over complicating the coding and not doing enough game - given that its basically a top down walking around game in its current state.\r\rThe vocals of the "plant" made me laugh as I walked around at ate everything including trees, rocks, and a bridge."},{"author_name":"commanderstitch","author_uid":"14366","time":"Jan 5, 2016 @ 1:51am","epoch":1451958360,"text":"speciesUnknown gets the awesomest comment award ever."}],"images":["ld34\/14366-47d6d22751bdd2a2cb66a94884647411.jpg","ld34\/14366-1526e8cf3b844c95f0399ae2f9ee268b.jpg","ld34\/14366-130e347a9445ba2b9f54fac0311eaa31.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/commanderstitch.com\/files\/games\/SaneedlingLD34.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/commanderstitch.com\/files\/games\/Ludumdare34.zip","text":"Source"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gqB6aSjfuVY&feature=youtu.be","text":"Timelapse"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"4771","g_author":"14366","g_event":"LD34","g_eventkey":"31","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"4755","g_title":"Saneedling","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"805","g_commentcount":"16","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/14366-shot0-1450062028.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/14366-shot1-1450062028.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/14366-shot2-1450062028.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"So, here's Saneedling.\r\n\r\nIt's okay!\r\n\r\nnote: you can mute the music by clicking \"m\".\r\n\r\nhow to play:\r\n\r\nphase 1: use the mouse to plant your seed.\r\nPICK GOOD GROUND. that's your hint.\r\nif you pick right the seed will grow and you can advance.\r\nif not you lose.\r\nthis is the general premise.\r\nphase 2:\r\nsame as part one.\r\npart2: wasd to move.\r\n\r\nfor such a simple game, i'm surprised at the number of complexities i ran into while making it.
