I think I might have enjoyed playing the role of the evil scientist a bit too much in this case as I now plan to buld my own shrink ray and...err no, wait a moment, that's going a bit far. It took me a couple of attmpets to figure out the controls but I really like how this game plays out seperating hte level into 2 halves with the collecting of humans and then the gruesome destruction of said humans. Quite a toughie to get the hang of but really fun once you get the hang of it."},{"author_name":"uuav","author_uid":"4651","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 6:58am","epoch":1335423180,"text":"Ahah first game I saw with the same idea of mine of putting world into bottles :)\r<br\/>I really enjoyed shaking that bottle ;D"},{"author_name":"R3ason","author_uid":"6105","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 7:07am","epoch":1335423720,"text":"Ah, wish I had read to use the arrow keys a bit earlier (finally figured it out!).

Great game!"},{"author_name":"cakemonitor","author_uid":"5357","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 7:33am","epoch":1335425280,"text":"This is a very well put together game - congratulations! I found it quite hard though - on my first attempt I captured 12 humans when the goal was only 10 and then in the bottle I killed them all for a score of 720 just to find out the target score was 3,000 so I hadn't even got a quarter of the way there!! Next attempt at the same level I only managed to capture 8 humans so I failed before I even got to the bottle stage :( Still, nice to see good artwork, sound and music making it in to a game, and I think this game fits the theme very well."},{"author_name":"jeroenimooo","author_uid":"9361","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 8:09am","epoch":1335427440,"text":"Awesome story.

I really enjoyed being evil.\r<br\/>You've done a great job here, the game is fun and replayable.\r<br\/>Maybe if you provided a more clear goal it would be more challenging. It also lacks some good music. Anyway, one of the best i've rated so far.

It's a so well-done game. But, well, you worked in a group of 4.\r<br\/>When cakemonitor said he scored 720 with 12 people I loled. 720, you say? Hah!
