Thankfully gnome medical bills are small, so they don't cut into earnings too much.:grin:\n\nThe big guy's art style seemed a bit different than the little guys, which was a tad jarring. The only real gameplay issue I noticed was when transitioning screens you don't know who may be immediately crushed underfoot when you start the next screen.\n\nI liked how when you hit a gnome, the were just relocated. That kind of let you plan a path to moved gnomes into 'better' positions that didn't impede you as much. I also liked having to do a quick cost-benefit analysis for crowds to determine if I would net a tip if I went barging in to deliver a taco.\n\nObviously a taco cannon would be a more lucrative venture...","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Evan Minto","author_uid":"1020346","time":"2017-05-17T05:10:15Z","epoch":1494997815,"modified":1494997815,"text":"I love the delightfully silly concept you've got here, and the gameplay *should* be simple enough, but I found that I would continually bump into non-taco-desiring people, even when I wasn't touching them. It seems like the hitbox is a little too large for the giant? It also took me a little bit to figure out that it wasn't going to be possible to avoid hitting those people. I like the basic idea, and I think it could be really great with a little more polish.\n\nThe character designs are pretty cute all around.
