Some days I miss the mouse. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>From a gameplay perspective, I liked collecting the body parts and sticking them to my character but I wasn't sure how it really was intended to give him power-ups.  It was *useful* that time slowed down when an item was stuck to my cursor, but I really felt like I wanted to still be able to attack while I was trying to get an item.  Because the &quot;sticking&quot; mechanic feels very exacting, it was a bit difficult to actually get those parts on!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Not really minimalist, but you probably knew that. :)"},{"author_name":"lightnarcissus","author_uid":"20680","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 6:42am","epoch":1367303820,"text":"That is an impressive game to build (particularly the art) in 48\/72 hours and the mechanics are quite cool too."},{"author_name":"EdoMiyamoto","author_uid":"18304","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 7:11am","epoch":1367305560,"text":"It's incredibly fun !

I felt it would be a waste of my ability if I went the route of squares and simple shapes, so we tried to go a different route so that I could still have fun creating something. George is a Flash programmer, so we couldn't do something with 3D space, it had to be 2D and striking.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Personally I think the gameplay mechanics are still quite minimal, basically attacking and customising is carried out via one click, and the game takes place in one area. Perhaps the window dressing of the game makes it appear a lot more complex than it is? In reality it was a very quick project and we finished quite ahead of schedule :)"},{"author_name":"Bloated Hippo","author_uid":"21024","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 9:31am","epoch":1367313960,"text":"Fantastic!
