When my weird blob self grabbed things and moved quickly I liked it a lot, but often it felt a little juddery and uneven. If it was smoother and maybe sticky I think it would be Quite Nice."},{"author_name":"hanoth","author_uid":"3162","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 5:01am","epoch":1398660960,"text":"Cool.  This is really bizarre and interesting.  I think with some refinement on the movement controls it could be really, really compelling to play."},{"author_name":"Move127","author_uid":"30603","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 5:05am","epoch":1398661200,"text":"It has some really interesting mechanics. The pace seems a little bit slow though. The little ball things you have to move around are somewhat few and far between."},{"author_name":"Colorvade","author_uid":"22146","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 5:23am","epoch":1398662280,"text":"Unique and aesthetics, but like what they've said, growing the plants can be a tedious process, particularly with moving the yellow bits around."},{"author_name":"Greg Power","author_uid":"21691","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 1:28pm","epoch":1398691380,"text":"Cool concept - reminds me of Flow a little."},{"author_name":"local minimum","author_uid":"24765","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 2:32pm","epoch":1398695220,"text":"The art was really nice, the controls were hard with mouse. The bubbles were not so cooperative in following my lead so I had to fight a lot to get the stuff growing. Actually on that point. The introduction was too simple so that it took me a bit too long to understand what I was supposed to be doing when the real level came. And that level was a little too long for the first level. It would be nice to break it into shorter pieces so that one feels progress and achievement more.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Don't get me wrong, I played for quite a while and it was a nice experience. It just feels like there are some very minor tweaks that would make it much more enjoyable.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>That the stones can shadow the seed pocked requirements is also a minor thing that may be better changed around some."},{"author_name":"lorniebear","author_uid":"31739","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 4:13pm","epoch":1398701280,"text":"I wish it had some music.

I did like it when I was able to 'capture' stuff in my organism (?) so maybe grabbing stuff should be a bit easier?
