I don't know whether or not it's running slowly on my computer, but the acceleration is painfully slow.  Edit: hmm; it does seem to slow down a lot in some places. It looks good, and sounds good, and moves well, and might play good, but due to the slowdown the gameplay is pretty frustrating |

Okay; I just gave it another try; thought I should at least try to finish a leve. But, erm, I got tightly attached to one of my creatures, and ended up falling from a height, the result being the attached picture, where I could still move, but couldn't pick up the last creature ( who was also, for some reason or other, partially immersed in the ground) |

Looks excellent, my good sir. I don't care if it's buggy, by the way. It's just too pretty for me to care about that. |

Thank you, reetva! Yeah, as with my last compo entry, I basically wrote most of the actual game stuff hours before the deadline. I gotta stop doing that  |

Well, first of all, the menu didn't show text, only white boxes.
When I got into the game, my truck got thrown into the stratosphere by some random spastic thing. Then I saw one of the creatures.
It had a lot of atmosphere in terms of graphics and sound, but I couldn't really play it. Also ran very slowly. Might be a problem with my graphics card.

All I get is a title screen which doesn't seem to respond to input. After a while it exited.

Woah. I was trying to grab a medium-sized...thing that was garbled up in some kind of mush with other smaller things and suddenly the whole thing just fritzed out and shot into the sky. There they disappeared and got counted towards my score.

Haha yeah, the constraints in the physics engine bug out once in awhile and go completely crazy. Just pretend that didn't happen |

I kept feeling like I wanted to hear the little things walking around screaming. Nice.

I dunno what to say - I really liked a lot of things about this game, but it's way too buggy for me to really judge yet. I get the same "white box" thing Melly does (I've got an old laptop integrated ATI card), and the very first thing I did in the game sent my little car flying in the air never to return I hope you can fix some of the bugs soon! I really want to play this properly |

I found no bugs at all. The PG content is amazing and the creatures are damn spooky! The game, though, I found quite annoying. Sorry. It's very hard to grab the creatures; I found it much easier to just run over them and go backwards so that they're pushed in the right way. This doesn't always work, though. You have a fantastic framework there, but right now it's lacking good gameplay. I'm looking forward to seeing any development  |

Aww MAN! Toastie. Look, the creatures? They're awesome. Eerie and organic and cute and bewildering.I love seeing them in action.
But, ze game, she is broke. Scratch the forklift- it's slow, and finicky, and dull. Replace it with a UFO. With a tractor beam. Or a mutate ray. Or a grabby arm. Something which allows exploration and observation over... gameplay? It doesn't even have to control particularly well, just enough to let one zip over the creatures and get a good look.

 One of my specimens refused to be beamed up. I love the atmosphere. When the physics engine works well, the feeling of dragging these tortured, insane creature unwillingly to their doom is amazing. But there's too many times when it feels like the claw didn't have enough friction, nor the wheels enough torque to handle all the creatures. |

This can happen to  Otherwise it was fun, I liked the physics and how when I tried to pull a big one towards the beam he struggled to get loose. Felt kinda guilty, but you gotta do what you gotta do. |
