It's not super challenging but I think it could be with enough clever level design. The mechanics are there. It also looks really nice. You nailed the aesthetic. The glowing eyes on the rabbits are also pretty cool. If I had one complaint, it would be that it says Pres C instead of Press C when you die."},{"author_name":"BroCade","author_uid":"42427","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 10:01am","epoch":1450086960,"text":"The first entry i'm rating for this Dare and you have set the bar high!

It feels very "snakelike" if that makes sense.\r\rOne suggestion, the rabbits could pop out a little sooner.

Having the documentation be playable is a very nice finishing touch.\r\rI managed to win the game, but I was stuck in the last level for some time; is this a bug or is it because of the mole? http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/Sm71uCL.png (also for some of the larger levels it would be nice to have a few levels of undo)"},{"author_name":"NuSan","author_uid":"18943","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 3:57pm","epoch":1450108320,"text":"Having an undo system would be great yes, but as it's only realy usefull on larger levels, I didnt put the time to code it.

I had a good time playing it, and the concept is very clever, but I kind of feel that the current level design do not allow the concept to shine completely.\rI did not find the puzzle side of the game very challenging, I only felt challenge in evaluating if the cave I was going to enter was or was not too small for me, and then remembering in which order I had to enter the caves. I also don't get exactly what the moles add in terms of gameplay if not some waiting and free tail length. Globally, it felt more like exploration than puzzle.\r\rAs a side note, I also find it quite difficult to predict what will actually become grass when the light is blottered."},{"author_name":"CMG","author_uid":"65690","time":"Dec 24, 2015 @ 4:49pm","epoch":1450975440,"text":"Neat idea.

The gameplay is interesting and unique. What kind of grass is this that grows only in the dark? My biggest complaints would be, that rabbits take so long to get out of their hole and grass was sometimes unpredictable (at least to me) when it would grow and when it wouldn't.
