You had several grammar issues, including spelling &quot;Ludum Dare&quot; wrong, and you cannot go back to start, if you messed up, and I have to restarted. Other than that, it was a pretty cool game, but it needs a little polish. It matches the theme very well, and I can see it going far if you polish it for a post-compo version."},{"author_name":"mockthebear","author_uid":"16447","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 4:33am","epoch":1450153680,"text":"A bit raw"},{"author_name":"Evergreen Games","author_uid":"47043","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 6:51am","epoch":1450248360,"text":"Very interesting mechanics. needs more levels though."},{"author_name":"DBRalir","author_uid":"10296","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 10:17am","epoch":1450260720,"text":"Extremely unpolished.

The controls were a bit hard to master especially on the first level as the ball rolled more than I pressed.

The team is already working hard on polishing the controls and the physics. We plan on adding more levels ASAP, as well as finding an artist or two and a sound designer.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Ill update the page with a new version next week. Itll definitely have improved controls and functionality, and hopefully an expanded test level (or a whole new one!)"},{"author_name":"Blobo","author_uid":"52667","time":"Dec 20, 2015 @ 12:04am","epoch":1450569540,"text":"The camera kept going throgh thewalls making it impossible to see. the purple walls were incredible difficult to knock down. there most certainly couldv'e been more than 3 levels."},{"author_name":"Dohxis","author_uid":"41073","time":"Dec 30, 2015 @ 6:53pm","epoch":1451501280,"text":"The game is really really nothing interesting. A blue ball in a white\/grey environment. No music, no sounds, no nothing. The game mechanics are weird, not to talk about the horribly made camera control. There is literally an option for unity that the camera wouldn't pass walls. Even though you state you tried to fit both themes, there's not even a doubt that you fail at the two button theme. The growth theme is there but it honestly just seems like a plugin so the game would pass the theme. Also, it really is unnecessary to make me collect all those balls just so I could pass a level. Also, 101%? Really? Overall, a very lackluster game with broken game mechanics, very bad game design and a bad idea behind it. Sorry, if I sound too harsh but it is the truth. The sooner you realize your faults, the better. Keep on making games, improving, reading articles about game design, etc and you'll get there."}],"images":["ld34\/62824-9ee2b1f8ec70a8c2bf02d522fa7e8608.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/dryd5nb37dry77v\/Assimilate.zip?dl=0","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/Ckeds\/LudemDare.git","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"6146","g_author":"62824","g_event":"LD34","g_eventkey":"31","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"6182","g_title":"Assimilate","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"1103","g_commentcount":"10","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\/62824-shot0-1450145909.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Grow, shrink, jump and dash your way through the level to reach the end!
