I mean I beat the acorn! I think?

My big complaint is probably that I didn't know where the sun was, so I was just bouncing about for a while before I stumbled onto it by luck.  It might have been cool if you started with a super-zoomed out version that zoomed into your slingshot?  I guess it depends on what you were going for.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The first few tries I thought I had to get it right with the original sling, so it was really hard.  After that I realized how useful the arrow keys were and I made it by just bouncing a bunch, which was pretty enjoyable.  Good job!"},{"author_name":"Pitoum","author_uid":"7969","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 6:36am","epoch":1387348260,"text":"Simple game as you said. It was pretty nice to play it, but I'd rather like a twist in the gameplay, something new and challenging or unexpected :) that's what I'm looking for in LD games.
