Nice map generation, liked the idea of the angled tiles rather than just normally aligned.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good to have some upgrades, the enemies were pretty crazy.

And judging by other comments I didn't even scratch the surface compared to some others. Level 10 seemed kinda far off, even, so there's still more I've not seen, like I kept going wondering what the 'tree squirrel' thing was about.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Hopefully you won't take offense when I say the graphics look like crap - but that really hides the fact that this works amazingly well! Alas, I reached a narrow choke point and all 5 of my squirrels got trapped and I was separated and overwhelmed, so a bit buggy with squirrel pathing getting stuck in the blue obstacles (was that.. water?). Right-click shows all your hitboxes\/steering behaviour vectors, was that meant to be visible?\r<br\/>But anyway - the music is really good, it sets a nice tempo for play.\r<br\/>The mechanics all complement each other really neatly, and this is a great use of the theme. It's also really impressive the amount of movement behaviour you got working - I'd have thought that would take weeks of work to debug and get fun gameplay out of, but this proves me wrong on that."},{"author_name":"coderitual","author_uid":"22182","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 10:16pm","epoch":1429827060,"text":"I like this crazy graphics and mood.
