Couldn't agree more with Somfunambulist, watching the numbers rise is very satisfying. I did however come across a bug where the sound and music stopped, and the timer stopped. After a period of time, the sound and timer game back but not the music."},{"author_name":"Jezzamon","author_uid":"10217","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 6:14am","epoch":1355724540,"text":"This game is too long, IMO. Should be either shorter (i.e. less people), or more interesting. People need to move onto other games. XD\r\rThe graphics were quite average... I think you should aim for a theme, like a restricted palette, or pixel graphics in the future.\r\rThe sounds were quite average too. I'm not a big fan of that music generator... it's a bit over used. I don't know if it would be better than nothing though.\r\rAnd yeah the map is way too large.\r\rStill, good job!"},{"author_name":"lucars83","author_uid":"8896","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 6:22am","epoch":1355725020,"text":"I would drive someone insane go to a different part of the map, come back and they would still be killing people.

I now officially hate my alarm clock.\r\n\r\nInstructions:\r\n\r\nYou are Cthulhu. Some pesky humans have decided to wake you up from a nice nap and the only fitting punishment is death and madness.\r\n\r\nBy being in close proximity to you, humans will go mad. When humans reach a certain level of insanity, they will start attacking each other, and the most insane of them all will join a cult worshipping you.\r\n\r\nYour goal is to drive everyone insane in the shortest time possible.\r\n\r\nI had planned to include two skills which would vary the gameplay a bit, but a bug that refused to go away when I had 20 minutes left stopped me from doing so, unfortunately. You can see what I had planned in the Instructions menu.\r\n\r\nAlso, I didn't have time to animate the sprites. Just pretend that Cthulhu is taking large, earth-shattering steps . ;)\r\n\r\n(Use the arrow keys to navigate the menu.)<\/p>","title":"Crowd Control"}
