It took me a while but I got the balance right, had to have more gunners. At the end nothing happening, though. No ending?"},{"author_name":"graytest","author_uid":"11705","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 9:15am","epoch":1367226600,"text":"Quite nice. It was difficult to know how to balance the crew without knowing the effect (like how many gunners needed for a wolf for example). Got difficult quickly."},{"author_name":"Broxxar","author_uid":"22132","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 9:48am","epoch":1367228580,"text":"It's interesting and certainly minimalistic. But there's something to be said about picking a crew that's very gunner heavy, and then the game simply becomes click the same spot for 2-3 minutes. There's definitely something there though in terms of the day to to ship management."},{"author_name":"Andrew","author_uid":"5432","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 3:43pm","epoch":1367249880,"text":"I stocked up on gunners early and then nothing much happened as I kept clicking through. Maybe some more types of events could be an idea to spice things up."},{"author_name":"njexit8","author_uid":"23675","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 2:42pm","epoch":1367332620,"text":"This kept me thinking- I enjoyed teh concept-i like how the crew mix has a dynamic effect on your survival rate- made it to the end -but still needs the big payoff!"},{"author_name":"rzfmzn","author_uid":"4736","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 2:28am","epoch":1367461380,"text":"You can easily enhance this game =OD\r<br\/>Nice work =O)"},{"author_name":"Tater_hater","author_uid":"21618","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 2:29am","epoch":1367461440,"text":"It was an ok game. got a little repetitive, but still pretty fun"},{"author_name":"drkrunk","author_uid":"20825","time":"May 6, 2013 @ 12:04am","epoch":1367798340,"text":"I really liked this, it was really fun. The only issue I had was towards the end at around 2000 or so miles left in the journey, the end report (The crew was able to hold them off, etc.) stopped showing up and wouldn't let me know how many miles I had left and all the sound ceased as well. Overall it was a fun game but I would have liked to see the end."},{"author_name":"marnaouf","author_uid":"12107","time":"May 11, 2013 @ 10:12am","epoch":1368266820,"text":"fun game"}],"images":["ld26\/22419-27d2c8d284328b2d96ca23ecb267bae4.jpg","ld26\/22419-5d1c6317425e26f8cba15f65bf58dda0.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/jackzackowitz.com\/files\/grandCrusade_48.swf","text":"Web (flash)"},{"url":"http:\/\/jackzackowitz.com\/files\/LD26_sc.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"26267","g_author":"22419","g_event":"LD26","g_eventkey":"16","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"26297","g_title":"Grand Crusade","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"1027","g_commentcount":"12","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\/22419-shot0.JPG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/22419-shot1.JPG-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Full Disclosure: This game is only about 90% completed.
