The initial take on the game was more of a king of the hill concept. However, we realized it wouldn't be fun enough with our lack of knowledge of AI programming. The initial idea would've been turtles without shells fighting to get inside a shell then stay with it as much time as possible.\n\nSo, as of now, the theme only gave us the mood of the game. We wish we could've been closer to the theme, for sure!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Almighty Games","author_uid":"1134563","time":"2019-10-08T01:50:55Z","epoch":1570499455,"modified":1570499455,"text":"I wasn't really able to 'play' the game, since I am just one person.
