I don't think i found anything that could hurt me, and i couldn't tell friendlies from enemies.

I managed to kill one enemy, but most of the time my attacks didn't work at all. It wasn't a very satisfying kill; the game needs to be responsive and "juicy." (You HAVE seen the youtube video, "Juice it or lose it", right? Everyone should!)\r\rAlso, other than getting realms named after players it doesn't seem like there's much to connect me to "my" world.\r\rI wish the player would keep moving when I held down the movement key.\r\rI never got a chance to see any multiplayer functionality because the worlds are too big and there was only one other person on when I was playing, and I didn't run into them. This is a common problem with multiplayer jam games - there being nobody on the other end to play them with.\r\rWell, I suspect most of the work went into the online functionality. Next time, Keep It Sesame Street! :P"},{"author_name":"Super Hamster","author_uid":"22460","time":"Aug 31, 2014 @ 6:47pm","epoch":1409510520,"text":"This game definitely has a lot of potential. I really like the art and the networking stuff seems to be good. I think if you didn't have to be assigned a grid spot and instead could be in between the grid spots the game could look a lot nicer too. Good job! :D"},{"author_name":"Dining Philosopher","author_uid":"18490","time":"Aug 31, 2014 @ 6:53pm","epoch":1409510880,"text":"Got stuck at a portal, or maybe the loading time was just too long for my patience.

I fixed several issues that caused it to keep crashing. Also multiplayer is working again so you can see other players on your map (if there are).
