Where I think it falls a little flat is that the gameplay. Moving slower is just not alot of fun. I think to make a theme like this work better, you would need to add some strategic level to it to make it an interesting desicion. As it is I did like the game for the look, feel and theme alot so great job :)","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Oivin F","author_uid":"1063332","time":"2017-12-05T00:00:17Z","epoch":1512432017,"modified":1512432017,"text":"Cool concept and great art style - sadly it crashed for me a couple times (web player)\nAlso, I didn't quite understand what the animal noises meant?

I made a different type of squirrel carrying nut game called \"My Nuts Weigh Me Down\".  I went for a different style then you guys though.  Your art style is really cool, and I dig the B&W look.  I felt the gameplay is a little simplistic though and needed more mechanics.  I went with a little platforming and throwing nuts at enemies to break it up, but anything else would be a nice addition.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"notpresident35","author_uid":"1050630","time":"2017-12-06T02:39:53Z","epoch":1512527993,"modified":1512527993,"text":"Nice! I love the art style, and the steady progression of difficulty\/decrease in speed as you pick up more nuts. The audio is fun sounding, and i found the slapping noise a pleasant surprise. It's pretty innovative for this theme, although as far as the effects of the theme, speed is a pretty common thing. I did the same!
