I read the description for your game and understood everything. However, not everybody does it. It happens to my games, too: whenever I add something unusual, it comes with a lot of text explaining how to use it, and somebody won't read it. It can be solved by in-game turorials, but they take additional time to make. So, I would recommend not making complicated mechanics for LD games. If you worry about your innovation rating, it's possible to make an innovative yet simple game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>As for the gameplay, the two button controls are awful. Sorry, but they are. Did you want to follow the theme so badly you risked the fun? I expect the theme to be in the core, in this case you can change controls without making any impact to the game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I liked how detailed the game is, though. Especially the fact that all rabbits have names. And the strategical &quot;more carrots - more males&quot; mechanic works well. Except I never have enough carrots to use it."},{"author_name":"seththefirst","author_uid":"57799","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 12:46pm","epoch":1450269660,"text":"@qwetro\r<br\/>@MadBall\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thank you guys for the evaluation.\r<br\/>I really thought that the 2 button thing would be funny. At least for me, was. hahahahah\r<br\/>Cause you want to select one specific bunny and the thing was cycling.\r<br\/>The basic idea here, it's that you don't need more than one carrot to make they mate. I mean, you start with 5 bunnies, and 10 carrots. If you wait until a couple are close enough, with 2 carrots you solve the problem.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The thing it's that I've created one mechanic that if you overfeed the male bunny above one threshold, he will explode, and looks like nobody saw that... :P\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think that I will work in a post compo version this night, and include webgl with that. \r<br\/>So, people can choose which version they want to play, and judge the game based on that.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thank you again, for the comments and tips... =)"},{"author_name":"Farelle","author_uid":"63831","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 4:18pm","epoch":1450455180,"text":"thought it was quite difficult to play, the cycling with one key gets really tedious the more bunnies there are.
