Sound effects were fitting and the simplicity and variance of the blocks was interesting considering how complex life can be.\n\n**Needs Improvement:**\nAdding a goal, challenges and achievements would make this game much more fun to play. What you've done is very good for under 24 hours, and you should definitely consider working further on it and pushing it on mobile.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Igor KinGamer","author_uid":"1000299","time":"2018-12-28T19:25:54Z","epoch":1546025154,"modified":1546025154,"text":"![IUC-p.png](\/\/\/raw\/b21\/z\/1fd41.png) XD\n\nInteresting, deep meaning :laughing: Nice concept of available activities varying according to what happened before.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Inkie Inc","author_uid":"1128464","time":"2018-12-28T19:51:39Z","epoch":1546026699,"modified":1546026699,"text":"Very interesting idea as well as a really cool take on the theme.
