Just text for you, sorry.  Thanks for the comment!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@morganquirk - Yes it may be a bit confusing what is happening.  Needs a little more baking in the over perhaps.

It happened one time but not again.\r<br\/>The sounds end graphics are above average. Well done."},{"author_name":"sanojian","author_uid":"7542","time":"Apr 25, 2012 @ 5:40am","epoch":1335332100,"text":"@Zathalos - Thanks, of course I had much more planned so the user could make a balanced ecosystem and the creatures would breed, hunt each other, etc but time was fleeting.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@tcstyle - You get money for fulfilling goals (at the bottom) and you can sell flowers and blue beasts. The UI could be better. Thanks for the comment!"},{"author_name":"R3ason","author_uid":"6105","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 8:01am","epoch":1335426960,"text":"Oh yeah, I won!

The predator is so cute ^--^. The theme seemed to be a bit forced into the game by the initial cutscene, that was inconsistent with the other art, but the overall experience was very entertaining =D.

I ran out of time to add a shoebox\/fishtank feel to the game area so I put in the cutscene instead.  Was hastily drawn and it shows.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@NailM - I think its a timing mistake in my loader.
