It's a game that knows it isn't the best and embraces it. I really liked the humour and the simplicity of it.

I'm not really a drawer.\rAlso I had no time to do better gfx, my only regret is that I wanted more of them. About one for every ingame action. But I had no microphone but the one next to my webcam on my laptop, and recording myself hitting an apple with a stick to get a "on hit" sound was pretty dangerous for my screen, so I had to abandon the idea."},{"author_name":"ben","author_uid":"11355","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 2:34pm","epoch":1377700140,"text":"Cool feel, Great work with the audio, I laughed out loud a couple of times"},{"author_name":"aglushakov","author_uid":"14836","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 2:37pm","epoch":1377700320,"text":"Nice entry!\r\rI really like sounds, they are very fun :)"},{"author_name":"SneManden","author_uid":"16779","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 2:38pm","epoch":1377700380,"text":"Haha, funny game.

I guess It's better this way then, this game is not about dying bazillion times.\r\n\r\nI'm sorry about the lame theme approach but, as a first game, I had to learn how to use my tools and It took me about half the time I had to make a game. Better work next time I hope.\r\n\r\n\r\nPS : Stay a while in game after the \"End\" to see credits.\r\n\r\n\r\nKind regards,\r\nM.","title":"Baldaquin"}
