Now I know: it's a fun game!\r<br\/>Really liked the music and the artwork, as well as the way you used the theme. The &quot;about&quot; screen was quite original. Very consistent quality on all aspects.\r<br\/>One minor detail maybe is that at first I didn't realise you had to open the main menu by pressing the Enter key at the very beginning. Would have been nice if there was an indication on screen or in the description."},{"author_name":"eric777","author_uid":"38027","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 11:51pm","epoch":1440546360,"text":"Nice job!  I like expression on the monster's face when he tickles kids.  Music was very cool - sounded like it would be at home in classic beach movies.

Also smooth gameplay.\r<br\/>A very good entry. However I think that since you can stay on one line and never get caught you should either create some reasonable mechanic to prevent this or make it more obvious to the player that the ratio of points per second is important. Like displaying it somewhere on the screen. Maybe instaed of the total points.\r<br\/>That aside this game leaves nothing to be desired ;)"},{"author_name":"GagaPete","author_uid":"16147","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 8:14pm","epoch":1440619740,"text":"Lovely interpretation of the theme.

The tickling sound me laugh each time. The concept of the game is good. I only wished for a way to clear the field, cause I found out that the game can be very easy if you just focus on two lines. The other ones don't really matter anymore. Perhaps if you go on you can make some upgrade. \r<br\/>Other than that I had a good time playing it."},{"author_name":"Grahhhhh","author_uid":"51802","time":"Sep 1, 2015 @ 1:47am","epoch":1441071720,"text":"I want to play but I can't, I'm running parallels and encountering a dejuvu.ttf failure :("},{"author_name":"Patomkin","author_uid":"57656","time":"Sep 3, 2015 @ 3:56pm","epoch":1441295460,"text":"Hey, he almost looks like Slurm McKenzie!

That was definitely genius.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think it would improve the experience a bit to have a way to identify kids that were &quot;tickled&quot; already. Perhaps they could walk in a more upbeat fashion, or display a smile icon over them, or whistle (with music notes above their head for instance) or be different in any way that would let me know that I already took care of them.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Other than that I loved this entry.
