"\r\rEnergy and matter are actually kinda the same thing so technically you're fine ;)\r\r\rSerious talk: This game is very pretty. As pretty as something can be while bordering juuuuust on the right side of too many neon lights (and I love neon lights).\r\rHowever, it requires a lot of precision and starts off with a very unconventional movement premise. It really could have used even the most bare base version of a tutorial beyond letting people know the controls.\r\rAlso the zen-like posture of the heroine can be a real juxtaposition to the frustration I felt trying to make it past some of these very challenging rooms. \r\rStill, solid work my friend."},{"author_name":"mike.cullingham","author_uid":"49890","time":"Apr 22, 2016 @ 4:26am","epoch":1461298860,"text":"Cool idea.
