Cool concept and nice to look at. I'm a bit bias because I like Java. I think I broke your game after the SHIFT + Collide round as I found my 'player' suspended with nothing to interact with. Someone should employ me full time to test games because if they can be broken, I will break them. I wouldn't invite you to watch me test your games because the overwhelming feeling of pity at my ineptitude would cause you to cry. But this inability to game has a flip side which allows me to break! Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to what you do next."},{"author_name":"kratorspore","author_uid":"6762","time":"Sep 16, 2012 @ 11:33pm","epoch":1347838080,"text":"This is my favorite game of the comp that I've played.
