I haven't played anything quite like it before, and yet I was able to figure out what needed to be done with no instructions at all (I accidentally skipped over the &quot;get the balls in the hole&quot; bit of your text and only saw it after I was done playing). You're on to something here. Don't give up!"},{"author_name":"Qaterknan","author_uid":"11181","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 7:32pm","epoch":1367522820,"text":"Nice game, challenging and entertaining.

Y played both, your compo and post-compo games. The second one is much better, because of the controllers and difficulty. In my opinion if you let the player move faster would be good. Think about making this for tablets and multiplayer, it would be cool :)."}],"images":["ld26\/14711-30b82c3098d831c61effde747cc2a9bc.jpg","ld26\/14711-255125179f5bd036b00984f2af687b8d.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/10138159\/MINUS.swf","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/10138159\/LD26.zip","text":"Source"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/10138159\/OSMOSIAN%20ll%20MINUS%20postCompo.swf","text":"Post-Compo"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"26802","g_author":"14711","g_event":"LD26","g_eventkey":"16","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"26832","g_title":"MINUS","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"553","g_commentcount":"20","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\/14711-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/14711-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Oh.
