How does one take a dark theme, make it darker, yet so vivid? lol\nI'm conflicted, I want to laugh at the idea because this is a video game after all but the moral implications... :P\n\nI like the simplicity of it especially the how to play \"Put that there!\" that made me smile. \nIt also made me smile seeing the word \"BANG!\" whenever the gun was fired. That was a nice touch.\n\nQuestion...WHO IS THROWING THESE CHILDREN INTO THE FORREST!?\nMaybe they should be turned into candy. lol\n\nAlright, my recommendation is to maybe allow me to carry more than one children at a time since the game uses a grid-based movement which makes it slow to take one at a time and navigate the grid. Honestly, if you can update the movement to be more free seeing as the main character is flying it might fix that all together but it probably changes the gameplay drastically and the design behind it.\n\nNice work","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"hugolnx","author_uid":"1148762","time":"2019-05-01T15:11:25Z","epoch":1556723485,"modified":1556723485,"text":"> \"Cute graphics but felt like it was a bit too easy\" by @agurcan \n\nYou are totally right! TAnd there's a explanation for that hahaha\nWe got the gameplay unbalanced after implementing the hunter shoot delay and witch recovering time (on the last hours), so we hadn't time to think on how to balance it again. Before that changes, the hunters  were shooting instantly after seeing the witch so it was much harder to avoid the BANGs. Also the score was decreasing quickly without the recovering time.\n\nThanks for the feedback!\n\n\n> \"Cute, though there wasn\u2019t that much to keep playing.

Also the kids would get fat after eating the candy hahahaha\n\n\n> \"How does one take a dark theme, make it darker, yet so vivid?\" by @prodigalson \n\nThe idea of the game is exactly to bring up this conflict, the graphics are funny and cute, but in fact what the witch does is exaggerated and cruel.
