That made it quite difficult to rate. :P I did manage to get it to work once though (somehow). The game is a good start, but it could be improved if you moved faster! I felt like a turtle... and when I picked up a turtle I felt like a super turtle.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It is a cool idea and the graphics are not at all bad.
