I had even made the sound effects, just ran out of time to implement. Great to get validation.\r@Snail_Man Originally the extinguisher was going to run out of juice, but it resulted in a rather dull fail condition (being simply left to float away in space).\r@Baknik The Gravity movie was a key inspiration, yes.\r@HeroesGrave I'm sorry to hear that, perhaps try to the web version?\r@kbake It's not meant to be dry or deadpan either - so that's fine :)\r@Suese Maybe you had some bad luck in the random placement?

The only point is that finding your way is difficult at the start. You should maybe have inverted sound getting louder and text bigger : changing music at the start is a better way to understand the closer\/further mecanic than text growing (because text growing is not obvious)."},{"author_name":"peacegiverman","author_uid":"13850","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 1:30pm","epoch":1387286700,"text":"This was nice.

I may just go back to this in the new year and finish it up with additional objectives and twists on the mechanic :)\r@tchem I think I will!\r@BluShine I was not aware this was an issue - I will generate something myself tonight and put it up alongside my original entry. I guess I read the rules wrong? The thing that is important isn't the music itself but the volume of the sound, so I could replace it with anything really.\r@nerial I think the biggest problem is that sometimes you start at the furthest point that the font size allows, so you never realise if you're getting further out. I should have reduced the opacity of the text as you got further away. But also yes, the music makes it pretty obvious too :)\r@Ludipe Great, I'll check it out tonight!"},{"author_name":"zatyka","author_uid":"14357","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 3:48pm","epoch":1387467780,"text":"Pretty cool.
