Great minds think alike, eh?\rAn excellent game, by the way, also. Lots of interesting choices to be made.

The game's sense of humor adds a lot to the experience. The concept and goal are clear and well presented.\r\rIt is a bit arbitrary at first what tests will produce what attribute in your subjects. It's also unclear what chance you have of succeeding with your selected team. These made me feel dis-empowered, as my decisions did not seem to be informed."},{"author_name":"Javabot","author_uid":"43281","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 2:11am","epoch":1418090760,"text":"This was a very fun concept, and the sound was incredible.

But that's completely based on personal kink and I agree it would be nice to at least have an additional mini-panel with the mission's required stats.\r\r@KudukuForgiveUs I added a little explanation of how the stats work. It's not as simple as I wrote, but those are the basics :P Sadly we didn't have time to add animations that actually showed that stuff happening visually.\r\r@NickMakesGames Loved your game and your concept. Even if I felt terribly stupid because it took me quite a while to understand how it worked :D"},{"author_name":"ramonparaiba","author_uid":"21621","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 1:19pm","epoch":1418130840,"text":"i loved this pixel art stile...
