This ruined the game for me, despite the nice sounds, and cute graphics.\r\rStill, you have managed to achieve a very aesthetically pleasing game. I just don't like the limited oontrols, nor how much you I end up having to wait to move.\r\rHowever, in looking past that problem, it's quite good."},{"author_name":"GrinCreative","author_uid":"31432","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 5:05am","epoch":1387256400,"text":"Need a lot of patience.

Perhaps instead hold down the button to start rotating and release to move in that direction, but start the rotation at whatever direction you moved last? It takes away some of the difficulty, but I think the increased playability would be worth it."},{"author_name":"chabuduo","author_uid":"24888","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 6:55am","epoch":1387263000,"text":"unique mechanic and nice take on the theme!"},{"author_name":"d2king10","author_uid":"32141","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 5:26pm","epoch":1387300860,"text":"I like the idea of only having one button to control your character, but I felt the turn speed as a bit too slow, and most of the time you are just sitting there waiting for it to face the correct direction."},{"author_name":"vinull","author_uid":"19362","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 1:29am","epoch":1387416240,"text":"Nice little game, I love the music and the "chat" with the adventurer =)"},{"author_name":"CatOnMars","author_uid":"24717","time":"Dec 20, 2013 @ 10:35am","epoch":1387535400,"text":"I can hardly control the main character, maybe it's by design.

Lovely graphics and music! Though as others said it gets tedious very quickly.\rThe fact that the moving directions are changed clockwise, makes it easy and fast to make "clockwise maneuvers" like: move right, move down, move left.\rHowever if you want to make a counter clockwise maneuver ("left, down, right"), you will wait one cycle between every move. \rSome suggestions for experimentation: \r- add second control, which can switch between the two cycling rotations (clockwise or counter clockwise). \r- add game speed control, which would affect the direction cycling speed as well as all objects (enemies and obstacles) in the game."},{"author_name":"Xanjos","author_uid":"21201","time":"Jan 7, 2014 @ 12:01am","epoch":1389052560,"text":"Slightly difficult due to the control scheme but still an enjoyable game.

We know your brain capacity is very small so we do not expect much from you. That's why we have assigned you the simple task of retrieving all of the lost corn kernels of the kingdom. We have granted you the privilege of using the left mouse button to move. But not the right! There is a slight chance the right mouse button could cause a minor case. Of death. Or do nothing at all. Either way, you'd waste your, or infinitely worse, our time.\r\nIn conclusion, use the left mouse button to move to collect the kernels. Got it? LEFT mouse, definitely not right. Which may in fact kill you.\r\nSpeaking of things that would like to see you dead, mind the goats.\r\nThey are quite heavy.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nCreated by Jack Eggebrecht, Brian Rold, and J.D.
