But it's very hard to find all the treasure. It's hard to see where you've already searched. And how do you know if you've won, is it just score? I do like the fact that you explain through a voice track, that helps! The animations are nice too."},{"author_name":"IAmSpencer","author_uid":"24919","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 10:23pm","epoch":1398809880,"text":"nice concept, good tutorial, overall this was a pretty good game, well done :)"},{"author_name":"vinull","author_uid":"19362","time":"May 3, 2014 @ 12:32am","epoch":1399076820,"text":"The update really helps - nice take on the theme!"},{"author_name":"littleball","author_uid":"14756","time":"May 3, 2014 @ 9:47pm","epoch":1399153320,"text":"Not a bad game, well done.
