Controls work really well especially when using a touchscreen. The ability to move between bags is a nice touch and increases the variety in playing methods. The gradual introduction to mechanics is nice. The ambient noise was surprisingly accurate to a normal supermarket and fit really well with the overall style you've gone for.\n\nThe difficulty curve after the last few kind of tutorials levels threw me off a bit and forces you to jump up your speed fairly quickly though. Perhaps toning down the initial difficulty jump after all the mechanics have been introduced could reduce this.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"tg1397","author_uid":"1084740","time":"2018-08-14T01:04:47Z","epoch":1534208687,"modified":1534208687,"text":"This was really fun!
