I noticed after the first couple of attempts that part of the skill comes in figuring out which castles you can safely stomp on, which was clever. Might've been unintentional, though. \r\rAlso, don't know if this was just me, but I think I had a bit of a bug where, when retrying, some of the castles I destroyed in the last attempt were still destroyed."},{"author_name":"johanp","author_uid":"608","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 5:52pm","epoch":1335203220,"text":"Short and to the point. :) Maybe add some penalty for not stomping at all to make the game more strategic?"},{"author_name":"unicornpooping","author_uid":"12751","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 7:01pm","epoch":1335207360,"text":"Fun!

You should expand it, tighten the controls and add some variety, but there's a great potential for the idea. Could be very satisfying to stomp all kinds of things. \r\rAlso, I really liked the fact that you confirm by pressing the stomp button and it goes straight into stomping the first castle.

It's one of those games where you can mindlessly play it and it's still really enjoyable. I like the graphics, and the idea of stomping strategically (don't stomp the ones near the forest!) is a nice touch. I dislike the sound effects to be honest, I can tell you used bfxr (it sounds like the sfx I tried to make for my own game hehehe). I don't know where, but maybe consider a different means of production?"},{"author_name":"Toast","author_uid":"6788","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 12:01pm","epoch":1335441360,"text":"SMAAAAASH"},{"author_name":"AlwaysGeeky","author_uid":"11531","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 4:58pm","epoch":1335459180,"text":"Reminded me of mario a bit, well done! :)"},{"author_name":"desmarkie","author_uid":"12355","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 9:44pm","epoch":1335476340,"text":"I like the graphics and played it a few times.
