Lovely graphics and complementary audio. I managed to 'win' by getting the green critters to kill all of the red ones on the screen, and having a group camping out in each corner to eat newcomers (it's easy enough to split up the group by placing food in opposite directions.)\r\rMaybe the lack of win\/lose condition makes it more of a toy than a game? Still a great start for a game though: Arcade-style games are usually a fun toy plus some kind of challenge."},{"author_name":"kyyrma","author_uid":"8424","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 8:49pm","epoch":1346100240,"text":"It's not much of a game, but I can't say I didn't enjoy it either.
