Doesn't happen often that a LD game has another mini-game :D Unfortunately one of my pandas died just as I was reaching auto-work hehe.

I think my biggest criticism is that it was a little confusing what the goal was or what I should be doing.\n\nThe graphics were perfect I think all the pixel art was great and the background on the eating screen was really trippy and cool. I also do think eating took a bit too many hits to get through it its a cool concept to make the player actually control through eating but maybe just a little quicker would be good.\n\nThe control scheme in general was also a bit of a miss for me, I felt like i needed 3 hands as some aspects were wasd controlled, some were arrow keys and some were mouse controlled I think using two of those at most would be better, and just more consistency in general I think if wasd controls the player it should probably also contorl the menus.\n\nGreat game, really cool concept I would definitely play it again!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Ridderfar","author_uid":"1127224","time":"2020-04-21T22:05:22Z","epoch":1587506722,"modified":1587506722,"text":"It seems like I'm not able to do anything, after buying a house.
