Also a larger window on the world would have been nice."},{"author_name":"machinas","author_uid":"2925","time":"May 6, 2011 @ 5:54am","epoch":1304660940,"text":"funny thing is that the size of the screen is just a tuning value. I could have made it any size. I really don't know why I made it small like that.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Yeah. Plan was to have little box enemies that inchworm towards you and collide. You have to protect yourself with the nano swarm. Enemies become more numerous as time passes.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, was going to have different asteroid chunks that gave the nano swarm special powers. Just needed that second day ;)"},{"author_name":"jonbro","author_uid":"1187","time":"May 6, 2011 @ 9:40am","epoch":1304674500,"text":"like some other commenters, I was confused by what happens after you collect the seeds.

Would like to see this with more development."},{"author_name":"Endurion","author_uid":"103","time":"May 7, 2011 @ 9:33am","epoch":1304760480,"text":"Very nice intro and looks quite interesting.
