Right now it feels empty and incomplete, and the control and scrolling feels jump and inconsistent. Maybe pull it out and enter the Jam after more work? Love the graphics, by the way."},{"author_name":"Jonathan Whiting","author_uid":"527","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 2:39am","epoch":1440383640,"text":"Enjoyed the day\/night cycle, but boy was it dark in the night!"},{"author_name":"AndyBrown","author_uid":"5699","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 2:40am","epoch":1440383700,"text":"Nice sound effects, that attack sound was really effective, gave me gooseprickles without even needing to see the spider.

The fact I could mash to fling the spider around the screen like a psycho actually made it more fun."},{"author_name":"broiledvictory","author_uid":"39212","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 2:41am","epoch":1440383760,"text":"I really like the graphics and audio, I would love to see the mechanics and gameplay expanded upon in the future!"},{"author_name":"SudoDave","author_uid":"56578","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 2:41am","epoch":1440383760,"text":"Graphics are great, definitely a good idea, just needs more content, and smoother controls."},{"author_name":"highlyinteractive","author_uid":"14065","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 2:42am","epoch":1440383820,"text":"Juicy controls & nice music.
