I almost felt like moving up or down was way slower than moving sideways. Although I'm not sure why you lose some of your size (I guess it happens when you take too long to between consuming new orbs\/universes), I did like the idea of having to regain it. Good job."},{"author_name":"mikedurn","author_uid":"54713","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 9:04pm","epoch":1450213140,"text":"Looks nice.
