Health bar missing was very annoying. Pickup detection seemed a little buggy. Audio was alright.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It's a shame, because I'm sure with just a little more work this could've been a really great entry, but it really just felt so unfinished. In a competition with a short time window like this one, though, it's totally understandable, especially since you didn't use a plugin like unity."},{"author_name":"Per","author_uid":"6781","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 6:56pm","epoch":1346179860,"text":"There is now a canvas version available that works in IE but it runs slow as hell :)"},{"author_name":"Accidental Rebel","author_uid":"5728","time":"Aug 30, 2012 @ 3:07am","epoch":1346295720,"text":"The lighting really enforced the mood for this one.
