In previous version of the game, the green 1s grew and reproduced a lot faster, and it was nicer (in my view at least). You really felt in a living world, and the yellow 1s (who are suppose to eat little green 1s) were all excited. The thing is, it was laggy a few minutes after the game start because too much things were going on at the same time. I did my best to prevent lag and so the game is a little bit boring.\r\rFor those who want instruction, the game is about discovering thing about how the world work (and there is things I haven't talk about), so any instruction is kind of a spoiler. One thing I can say, there is something to do, and there is an end.\r\rI'm conscious that the game isn't very fun to play, but I didn't have much time this week end and it was fun to make."},{"author_name":"supremefist","author_uid":"6395","time":"Dec 21, 2013 @ 9:54am","epoch":1387619340,"text":"I was also confused about what was going on, but thanks for sharing this experience :)"},{"author_name":"x70x","author_uid":"16933","time":"Dec 22, 2013 @ 10:01pm","epoch":1387749360,"text":"I really like contemplative exploration games, but unfortunately I just don't think there was enough here to inspire me to explore.
