And the game is really no let down!\r<br\/>The concept is great, the game is beautiful and man... that animationquality sure is polished well. I was playing this game alone so i am sure i haven't even seen the true gameplay\/fun potential yet. However the game has a real hard time starting and i can't seem to get the windows version running under any circumstances. Which is pretty sad because it's one of those games i would see myself starting and playing even after a month when ludum dare is not that present anymore in my mind. I experienced quite the framedrops during playing although i'm sure much of it was because i had to run the browser-version of the game. Anyways this game is pretty cool and I hope you'll get out a fixed version in due time - as of yet i wasn't able to reach any fragment - but when the game doesn't go to slideshowmode anymore when i face the mid of the map i am sure to give it a go again. great game."},{"author_name":"burgerdare","author_uid":"29805","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 9:10pm","epoch":1409087100,"text":"The animation quality is astounding, and the overall atmosphere is stupendous.
