Like others mentioned the controls are not really good, and the time manipulation ability of level 3 was really mysterious.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for the game."},{"author_name":"SusanTheCat","author_uid":"5150","time":"Jan 3, 2012 @ 4:35am","epoch":1325565000,"text":"I really hate jumping games.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I never made it past the first screen.

We developed Grief.\r\n\r\nGrief is an experimental game about loss - the time constraints were difficult but I think that me and my brother managed to get the right feel into it. The game focuses mainly on the stages of grief surrounding a major change in life.\r\n\r\nThere are two executables available (Mac\/PC). Tell us what you think and please vote for us!\r\n\r\nCheers\r\n\r\nJack and Sam<\/p>","title":"Grief"}
