The graphics are gorgeous, the sound effects fit right in, the gameplay is terrific, and the alternate ending... wow. Well you made me play long enough to find it, goes to show how much I enjoyed this game. Yours is my favorite game so far!"},{"author_name":"ferdbold","author_uid":"49000","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 3:12am","epoch":1440385620,"text":"Yeah, there is an alternate ending ;) Let's just say you have to try NOT to be a monster!"},{"author_name":"Halleflux","author_uid":"24741","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 3:14am","epoch":1440385740,"text":"..Nearly impossible =\\\r<br\/>Apart from that, very fun. I like the quick gameplay, though I feel that a few minor things here and there could be changed to make it better. (Just tinker around with things and get a few playtesters.)\r<br\/>Graphics are good, audio... eh, I like the mood of it, it feels a bit like a death star run or something like that. Music could really seal that in.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>One word of advice: You are very good at your game. Others will find what you find easy, VERY difficult.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Oh, and I found the secret ending that may or may not be there. ;)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Very well done!"},{"author_name":"ferdbold","author_uid":"49000","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 3:14am","epoch":1440385740,"text":"@panda Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!"},{"author_name":"Halleflux","author_uid":"24741","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 3:16am","epoch":1440385860,"text":"Oh, and I should bring up that is seems to be based on getting lucky to an unfortunate degree.

I totally agree that some music would have helped it a lot more!"},{"author_name":"quill18","author_uid":"7862","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 3:16am","epoch":1440385860,"text":"An interesting, challenging, and visually appealing game.
