That makes things way easier. It wasn't until after the jam was over that we noticed some people had a hard time picking up on that.

What an awesome game! The graphics and music are both great and the gameplay is near perfect. The pet starts out so cute and gets so mean looking. haha. I liked how used the camera zoom out to emphasize the pet getting bigger. I did a similar thing in my game. This is one of the best games I've played so far. 5 stars!"},{"author_name":"Dreyan","author_uid":"52023","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 7:48am","epoch":1450338180,"text":"I really like the ideas going on here, but I really don't care for the controls. (even with the holding down one, then pressing the other to shoot in the proper direction). I did feel as if mana was a bit too difficult to manage, even when I felt like I was being conservative it seemed to drain a bit too quickly (or regen a bit too slowly).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Aside from that, the graphics are adorable and fit perfectly and the music fit the mood of the game, was never too intrusive, and enjoyed listening to it the entire time ^^  Really liked playing this one."},{"author_name":"WolfkingW","author_uid":"59832","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 7:51am","epoch":1450338360,"text":"&quot;Oh hey, a chicken.
