I did have a few problems though. The hint text didn&rsquo;t appear for very long and reading them all was impossible, especially at the start. Also, the hint text for character at the extreme edges went off-screen for me. I was playing windowed on OS X. A lot of my herd (employees) seemed to leave or blow up(?!) almost immediately, whereas I had to move people around a lot as the game went on to try to make them leave - mostly by trial-and-error due to my hint text woes! Overall though, this is a great concept and very enjoyable - well done!"}],"images":["ld33\/21131-3bda84593f61a99a9c0d9119fe3ce7d4.jpg","ld33\/21131-e6c5712086708f8034797517d2049d20.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B4EjourkyRPuNHRaTjFvNzdBUFk\/view?usp=sharing","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B4EjourkyRPuWm56ZGFVeE43SGc\/view?usp=sharing","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B4EjourkyRPuWTl3WV9aNDNQc1k\/view?usp=sharing","text":"Linux"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"9294","g_author":"21131","g_event":"LD33","g_eventkey":"29","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"9327","g_title":"Thinning the Herd: A game of management","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"7","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/21131-shot0-1440466927.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/21131-shot1-1440466927.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Play a true monster; work as a manager in charge of downsizing a company division!
