I personally don't like black licorice, so it was easy for me to see them as the monster.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I found it a little tricky to play, as the strategy seemed to be to bypass the towers and get to the end as quick as possible, otherwise the towers respawn.  Overall, nicely done!"},{"author_name":"Mikhail","author_uid":"42789","time":"Aug 31, 2015 @ 2:39am","epoch":1440988440,"text":"Pretty good game great job!"},{"author_name":"Lukbebalduke","author_uid":"26331","time":"Aug 31, 2015 @ 2:48am","epoch":1440988980,"text":"I liked the music, sound effects and graphics.

Having previously corrupted several candy people, they are now at your disposable to carry out your deeds as you advance to the candy kingdom's capital and turn everyone into salty, foul candy.\r\n\r\nThis game is somewhat of a reverse tower defense where you control one mob and can send waves of other mobs towards your target, and the goal is to defeat the level using as few \"waves\" as possible. Unfortunately due to running out of time, the gameplay may or may not be completely unbalanced.
