I was hoping there'd be a funny creationist one. :) This one did its job in addressing that, although I didn't immediately pick up the controls. I think having access to arrow keys for movement would be nice. Fun game though!"},{"author_name":"leafo","author_uid":"4321","time":"Aug 30, 2012 @ 4:30pm","epoch":1346343900,"text":"I liked this game.

I liked the how the difficulty steadily ramped up and the 'risk-reward' system for trying to get the miners to discover new fossils without hitting them is pretty clever. Great work!"},{"author_name":"Haette","author_uid":"14726","time":"Sep 16, 2012 @ 7:45pm","epoch":1347824400,"text":"The moment I added that twist was the moment it started being really fun, and to think I was considering adding the opposite effect (older fossils are worth more) for a while."},{"author_name":"garygreen","author_uid":"13914","time":"Sep 17, 2012 @ 7:20pm","epoch":1347909300,"text":"Love it! :-D Great idea and funny too."},{"author_name":"infernet89","author_uid":"14271","time":"Sep 17, 2012 @ 9:08pm","epoch":1347915780,"text":"Very nice game!

The easiest way to describe it is \"landmine defense,\" except instead of blowing up soldiers you're misleading creationists. The miners spawn faster and faster over time until they overwhelm your defenses and expose your trickery.\r\n\r\nMost of the following can also be found on the in-game rules screen.\r\n-Controls: A\/D to move, Space to fire\r\n-Charge your shots to launch them further upward\r\n-Overcharged shots create more convincing fossils, worth more points (1\/3\/5)\r\n-Landing a shot directly in front of an incoming miner is worth bonus points (2\/6\/12)\r\n-Hitting or failing to distract a miner temporarily raises suspicion\r\n-A flashing suspicion bar means the next hit will defeat you\r\n\r\nCode: AS3, Flixel, FlashDevelop\r\nGraphics: MSPaint, GIMP\r\nSound: sfxr, Reaper, Audacity<\/p>","title":"The Devil's Lie"}
