My only real complaint is that it felt a little too long. I think it would have felt better either with one less upgrade level or fewer hits needed at the end.  Still, though, it was fun, as I said, and I was enjoying myself enough to play to the end, so good job!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Sli","author_uid":"1135706","time":"2020-10-18T20:32:56Z","epoch":1603053176,"modified":1603053176,"text":"Great take on the theme.

I have to admit I like these iterative carrot-on-a-stick mechanics. You inspired me. Maybe I'll make something like this myself someday .)\n\nAlso, not entirely related to the game: One round, I missed a diamond ore because I had a sword equipped. So I went to the pickaxe, equipped it, finished the loop, and the diamond was gone. I caught myself saying \"Where's the money Lebowski?\" out loud. So you made me do that too.\n\nGood job :laughing: ","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"WhyNotYT","author_uid":"1140637","time":"2020-10-19T17:20:50Z","epoch":1603128050,"modified":1603128096,"text":"A Great Entry! The Graphics, Audio And The Gameplay itself are Really Fitting.\n\nIt Does Need Some Quality Of Life Changed Though.\n\n- Making The Player \"Attack\" In the Direction Of The Mouse Rather Than Forward.\n- Having 'E' and 'I' As The Open Inventory Key.\n- Clicking Outside Or Pressing \"Esc\" Closing The Inventory.\n- Balancing The Sword. There Really isn't any use for the sword Currently. Maybe Increasing The Kill Reward Of The Sword As It's Upgraded Might Help.\n- Setting The Pivot To The Center Of The Ghost Rather Than The Sprite. It Was Quite Distracting While Moving.\n- As Mentioned By @sli 'Press Return To Restart' Doesn't work\n\nAnd That's It.
