However, this is one of the best executions on the concept. Smooth gameplay, fantastic level design, gorgeous graphics. Add some relaxing music and throw this on the app store, it's a gem."},{"author_name":"YinYin","author_uid":"64352","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 7:51pm","epoch":1450122360,"text":"This would be really great if it had some sound."},{"author_name":"torcado194","author_uid":"5839","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 7:57pm","epoch":1450122720,"text":"I love the visuals! And I like how eating the pellets makes you physically grow in all directions, naturally making the course harder as you go. couple bugs though: you can press 'down' to set your speed to a low amount, but consecutive presses speed yourself up greatly, allowing you to go all the way up without eating any pellets. also I got to the end eating all the golden pellets but 1, and the game says i got '8\/8'.\rNice job otherwise!"},{"author_name":"burntcustard","author_uid":"65656","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 8:20pm","epoch":1450124100,"text":"I got 180! The starting area is really nice, but then as you go up the terrain is more and more bland (and game-ey? Like not real or themed, you know.) I also found it a bit strange that you couldn't "grow" downwards at all - gameplay wise that restriction is fine, I just didn't expect it because there's no logical reason not to be able to grow down? Also had a bit of an issue where I couldn't figure out a restart keyboard shortcut. Overall really good!"},{"author_name":"jcwelgemoed","author_uid":"55308","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 8:21pm","epoch":1450124160,"text":"fun little entry."},{"author_name":"NickMakesGames","author_uid":"29805","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 8:23pm","epoch":1450124280,"text":"This is definitely not the first game to interpret the theme in this way.
