I did like the game and the mood and graphics where the strong points of the game.

I think I also got two leaves at most after some tries, because the timer is so strict. Maybe the game could zoom out a bit when you collect a leaf, so you could maybe see the next leaf or atleast know where it won't be.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anssi@MooseflyGames"},{"author_name":"Shivur","author_uid":"36762","time":"Aug 30, 2014 @ 6:24am","epoch":1409379540,"text":"Interesting"},{"author_name":"OhFiddleDiddle","author_uid":"28661","time":"Aug 30, 2014 @ 10:29am","epoch":1409394240,"text":"So, assuming the only objective was to draw on the planet until I died, it was rpetty fun. :)\r<br\/>Possibly a slightly more meaningful objective would have been handy, but regardless I absolutely loved the soundtrack. :D"},{"author_name":"cardboard","author_uid":"16294","time":"Aug 30, 2014 @ 6:29pm","epoch":1409423040,"text":"The soundtrack and bobbing snail head are awesome. I think some sort of goal would make this game more replayable, like telling the player how far they traveled. The leaf pickups look a bit out of place because their graphical style is different than the style of the rest of the game. The color palette of the world is very nice."},{"author_name":"Franklins Ghost","author_uid":"35424","time":"Sep 8, 2014 @ 1:32pm","epoch":1410182820,"text":"Fun game but did find it pretty hard.
