I not sure about them.... haha\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Very clever take on the theme, as some others have said, the game needs a bit more challenge and side-goals, like why get the lightning bolts (most of which I must get in order to get to the flower) sure it speed him up but it would be faster to not sidetrack and just go straight to the flower.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Maybe have some obstacles that move real quick and so you have the choice, risk trying to go through normally to save time or go get some more speed to make it through easier. This would pair well with a constant timer ticking down between each maze so it's all about choices and how they'll affect how much time and speed you have later on as the mazes get harder.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyways, great job with the theme innovation!"}],"images":["ld31\/8308-42cbc0ffd49a663fc190d1ab29ca8f1f.jpg","ld31\/8308-b5a5a35deeb0f4538c4af0ec0204178a.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/53837316\/LD31\/index.html","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/53837316\/LD31\/src\/LudumD31.rar","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"14067","g_author":"8308","g_event":"LD31","g_eventkey":"26","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"14097","g_title":"Marvin's Journey","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"8","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/8308-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/8308-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Join Marvin on his journey to find the sunflower in the garden of totally ordinary-looking, not-at-all-suspicious bushes.
