Scoring system could be an option, but so far I'm thinking of it more like an experience rather than a competitive element. But who knows!\rAnd the song is my work, started to work on it at the right beginning of this ludum dare, and recorded in musagi. And I'm still working on more parts.\rThanks again!"},{"author_name":"Cosrnos","author_uid":"25241","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 4:05am","epoch":1387166400,"text":"I love that song!
