But since you've been cool on Twitter, you get a special story.\r\rMe and Windows, we have a long story. We don't like each other particularly well. It said things about my mom, I threw stuff at it, etc.\rIn the end, we decided to part ways. It think it was better for both us.

I kind of felt, though, that I wasn't sure why things happened and thus I was sort of clicking around. Were there goals? Just a time limit? As a toy, I enjoyed it.

Seriously, it's great to see that people are enjoying the game.\r\rAdditionally, it's great to see that people are somewhat challenged by the game. When I was looking at minimalist art right after the theme was announced, that was certainly one of the feelings that struck me. I wasn't quite sure what was going on, and that drew me into the pieces even more. So hopefully you too can "sit" with this weirdness in Click, Release, and it draws you further in to its world.\r\rFor more (less rambly) thoughts on this- check out my post-mortem over here: http:\/\/www.sampotasz.com\/blog\/clickreleasedesign\/ \r\rThanks!"}],"images":["ld26\/21972-68786850da0b0b8eaf86770d651a5caf.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/s\/94sjymemb8fnk8h\/ClickRelease_SamPotasz.zip?token_hash=AAEf6yKXS_-PEL292S8rvOGPoR2rJquau8cQsafaoIVmfw&dl=1","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.sampotasz.com\/blog\/clickreleasedesign\/","text":"About"},{"url":"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SamPotasz\/","text":"Twitter"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/s\/um02y29vac5urt8\/ClickRelease.gmz?token_hash=AAFci54jV97ls9eAZs0JzsziU__FUuMhr4jp8_Tmg7a9sQ&dl=1","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"26263","g_author":"21972","g_event":"LD26","g_eventkey":"16","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"26293","g_title":"Click, Release","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"479","g_commentcount":"29","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/21972-shot0.bmp-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"A minimalist game which I really enjoyed making. \r\n\r\nI don't really want to say too much about it other than thanks for checking it out and playing it.
