Hello everyone,

I fancy myself as writing several paragraphs instead of one-line comments. To me, it's important to leave a more fleshed-out review, hoping it helps the creators. (And there is the old saying "treat others like you would like to be treated".)

I won't spend hours and hours on your game, of course, but I try to be the most thorough I could... and it's a little bit time-consuming. (I may spend more time on the comment than the game.)

Until now, I have commented random games, but I'm not even sure if it would be useful to their author. This is why I make this post: ask me in the comments if you want a several-paragraphs review (especially if you didn't get one yet).

7th place in innovation. It's not bad, isn't it? Because window resizing exists.

It's been a long time since I wanted to make a game relying on it. When the theme "Limited space" dropped, I had to do it. Of course, people would say it's not made for it, and at first I was afraid I couldn't do it, that refresh times would be too slow, but I think it worked out well.

At least, as well as it turned out to be. My plan for the weekend was very straightforward: do all the code Satursday, and the rest (including testing and adding cool things) Sunday. Post for Compo and profit.

Instead, I was still cramming essential sprites Monday afternoon. My workflow was terrible and my code a mess. Well, at least I submitted on time!

There is room for improvement... notably how I review other games. (I mean, Ludum Dare has this social aspect.)

By the way, I'm sorry for the long reviews I promised and didn't write (I would like to say I would do them, eventually, but I can't really promise it. I bit more than I could chew). I know how to be more efficient next time.

Oh, and I don't know if any player noticed it... but you can win this game. By killing no one (and you can lose by killing your manager during his speech). This is why I didn't think of a score system.
