The map is a little too big to keep my interest. I'm also not sure what everything did, like the mushrooms or the mush command.

Actually a bit laggy when you scroll. It take a lot of time before really play ! Turns are a bit too long for my taste. I don't know if it's a bug, but when I chose to build a snow block, I couldn't do anything else the next turn. It keeps building snowblocks every turns :("},{"author_name":"Arowx","author_uid":"680","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 12:24pm","epoch":1387282740,"text":"The block building is a two step process, you build the block then select a direction to drop the block."},{"author_name":"tobbez","author_uid":"19361","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 12:33pm","epoch":1387369680,"text":"Nice graphics, sometimes it seems like the block get stuck on a character even after multiple turns.
