It was really funny, especially the later stuff. The concept of smashing up things to minimize a nice take on the theme and also fun.\r\rI'm amazed at how much content you managed to get in and also at the level of polish. Everything felt really smooth, from the transitions and text box animations, to the general movement and smashing things. The graphics where really cute and stylish too, I really like how many different sprites you made for the little people.\r\rGood job!"},{"author_name":"KevinZuhn","author_uid":"8695","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 1:41am","epoch":1367372160,"text":"I'm sad this didn't quite get finished, but what is there was fun to play!

The quotes also great.\rthe game reminded me of The Lost Vikings (maybe because of the conversations).\rThe music gave me a rushed feeling so I was running down the corridors trying to smash all things as quickly as possible.\r\rThe graphics are neat and everythings works very smooth (except sometimes large furniture in a small corridor would be hard to pass and to hit it if you approached from above).\r\rIt was also a bit too big for me. So many rooms!\r\rIt was a good thing that you wrote about the random generator.
