Whilst you obviously spent some time making the graphics a game life this, with so few interactive mechanics, lives or dies on its presentation and unfortunately it isn't enough to pull you into the game by itself.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think had the graphics been more polished and the game expanded you could have had more of an impact."},{"author_name":"Weeping Rupee","author_uid":"60016","time":"Dec 21, 2015 @ 5:14am","epoch":1450674540,"text":"There are no mechanics here, but that's fine; I can tell you're an artist at heart.
