Works really well."},{"author_name":"TeamEagle","author_uid":"23493","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 12:06pm","epoch":1367323260,"text":"was a fun game but once you get the hang of it, it doesn't get much harder and you could go on forever. Increasing the speed slowly would make it harder for example and is a simple change."},{"author_name":"mollymus","author_uid":"13074","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 11:39am","epoch":1367408040,"text":"Pretty fun game!

We had a great time working on this project.\r\n\r\nOur game is about Jack the lumberjack, who just wants to go home, but is hindered by numerous obstacles on his endless way home. \r\n\r\nWe used the theme minimalism in the controls: the only thing you control is in which lane Jack is walking and what weapon he is using. We also used pixel art for all our graphics, which is minimalistic though very nice.\r\n\r\nYou control the game with the WASD-keys: W and S to move up or down a lane and A and D to switch to the previous or next weapon. Jack will use the selected weapon whenever he encounters an obstacle, you don't control the actual triggering of the weapon actions. To kill bears, you will need to have the shotgun selected and to chop down tree, you need the axe. You need to have the rope selected and to cross the river by swinging over it. And remember kids, don't stand in bear traps: they will eat you ;)\r\n\r\nWe hope you guys will enjoy our game!<\/p>","title":"Lumber Rumble"}
