Timestamp	Since previous	Game	jolle's comment
		Strong AI	Yay, portalesque storytelling in an LD game. Definitely worth playing through. Actual gameplay fairly basic go-around-shoot-things, but mostly in a good way. <br/> <br/>Good food pics, though some cake among them would have been good ;) <br/> <br/>Bad thing: Continuous firing with fully upgraded weapon slows down the game very, very much, to taking seconds between screen updates.
		Mondrian	Was fun until it suddenly became extremely hard. Good in regards to theme. Didn't really hear much of the audio, was it very quiet?
		Trivial Escape from Minimalist Island	Yay, a mini-myst, except less weird and better looking. Really like it, good job.
		Still Pond	Very poetic. Very humorous. Funny how those actually work together. Great entertainment value. Not quite as fun. Still great.
		warrior	Love the look, and nice audio. Actual game isn't very fun, but I blame the theme for that.
		redgate	I got 16 too D: <br/> <br/>Very minimal. Good job for a not serious entry.
		Tiny Hawk final release	I really like everything about this except playing it. It's too frustrating to have to wait so longer after making a mistake just to change direction. That I wasn't so good at it didn't help either. The music was nice in the beginning, but quickly become repetetive and got connected to the long wait after a mistake.
		minimalist entry	Suddenly I got pygame troubles :/ Might try later after reinstalling pygame.
		Typoworm	Really cool concept, and sort of fun. Pretty hard to recover after a typo though.
		Exxon – The decontaminator	OK I'm done saving the world seas now. At one point I thought it was a trap, but turned out the trap was nothing but lies! <br/> <br/>Nice look, nice idea, fairly fun, but lacking something in gameiness.
		dots	Surprisingly fun considering the simplicity of the game, so guess it fits theme perfectly. Think it gets difficult a bit too quickly.
		The Butler Did It	Really like the look. Could probably be more fun if it wasn't such a lot of waiting. Lots of random crashes -- uninitialized memory troubles? And yeah, camera could start with better view.
		Simple maze	Well, there's not much to say. It's a command line driven text maze. Would be even more minimal without the start screen ;)
		Too minimal for a name…	It seems to be framerate dependent, which makes it reather tricky. Either it's impossible to complete levels, or it's too sluggish to enjoy. Got to the fourth level before giving up on it for now. It seems it would have been fun.
		Title Unknown	This didn't look fun but it was. Not exactly sure how it was fun. Hmm.. was less fun in the 'normal' mode though. Nice music. Nice scrolling.
		The white gazelle laughs maniacally	Missing .NET 3 / might update and try it later.
		The Pushers	Had expected it to be real time, so was a bit surprised. Don't really know what I would have prefered. Ends up being a bit like minigolf. <br/> <br/>Much content for an LD game with multiple tracks and cars and stuff. <br/> <br/>Think I would have enjoyed it better if I some kind of motivation in trying to get as few pushes as possible. Not exactly sure how that could have been accomplished.
		win32.dll The Game	The popups! They are too many! <br/> <br/>Scary game. OK at first, overwhelming later on. Humorpoints granted. <br/> <br/>+2 food point for all the goat cookies. +1 for gopher. Still only ends on 4 though -- milk or yoghurt doesn't grant extra!
		Framed! v1.1 Released	First I didn't get it. Then I did, and then easy mode was very easy. Dunno about hard... seems there's infinite amount of rogues? So it played differently... or possibly there were just very, very many rogues. A bit like in MMORPG PvP, har har. Anyway, think actual idea needs refinement.
		Final Submission	flOw meets Space Wars? Pretty nice. My fingers hurt though, I really prefer autofire. Felt a bit slow at first, but then when I got a bit better hang of it it was fun. Died at 9 min 56 sec, with a max level of 8. Don't know if that's any good, I'd guess probably not since it was on easy mode. All in all good entry. Extra food points for the jug, even with its sad end.
		MinMo LD11	Feels too random. Might have to wait a lot at some platforms, and sometimes get in situations where can't survive.
		Simple Dungeon	Was fairly fun up till it crashed, which happened in first battle after getting a sword.
		(T+48:48) Final Entry: BlockOut v0.LD48_11	Good idea, but too easy here. You just sit and wait and do nothing, which isn't fun at all.
		Spacbattle is done-ish	I have a problem with this kind of cat captchas -- I can't read them. Might try later.
		CGA Quest	Requires too much timing on whichever level it was. Gave up there. Up until that it seemed nice.
		Battle Magic Done!	It was fun! Very minimal, too. I'm kind of split on graphics (don't want to rate it low as it clearly matches well), so rates it as N/A.
		Cowbell Hero	Love the idea and humor. And great music! But synching didn't work for me either. Either it's faulty or I sucked at it. With some auto analyzing of the song this could be great, though I fully understand that isn't included in a minimalist 48h game.
		The Minimizing knight	Problem (No module named Image) / Might try again later
		Leap , at least it’s something…	I like the graphics, but the game isn't fun to me, especially since there's no scoring.
		Omnihunter	Having pygame troubles, might try after reinstall of pygame. And if I get around to get PyOpenGL.
		MiniMall	Yeah, pretty much what other people said. Doesn't really play as a game, but is a little fun anyway. <br/> <br/>"Mini-mallists don't like this, and therefore they may crash your computer in protest!" :)
		Color eater	After figuring out how to fly, there's nothing of a challenge left.
		Title Unknown	Afraid it plays too slow to be enjoyable. Otherwise it looks good and seems nice. Never played original Qix, so wouldn't have known it was a direct clone until I read some comments. I'm doomed to give you low innovation points now, I'm afraid. Music was nice while it lasted. Could be a solid game with some improvements.
		Marginal Ungolf Spectacle	Well, there's jumping, and collecting things, and light background music. A pleasent but short and unchallenging experience. AAAA++++++++ would comment again. <br/> <br/>OK so last sentence was partly a joke. Still fun and pleasent though.
		final version of my game	Controls doesn't work well. Some kind of strafing might help. As it is, best seems to be to wait in one place as fire at enemy when it gets close. <br/> <br/>Sound behaved weird. Was sounds fire firing at start, I think, but then they stopped. The other sounds was a bit annoying, but also stopped later. Then there were no sounds at all. <br/> <br/>I like the idea and gravity line thingys.
		Title Unknown	Yeah, something weird is going on. The AI idea seems nice, but I ended up ahead anyway.
		The Hunt for Pepsi Blue	I dunno. Somehow I became a little bit scared of this game. Something about the sounds. Got maybe to the 7th level.
		RPG Battle Simulation	As others have said, it needs balancing. But I know how it is to balance games for LD48... I've failed a lot of times at it! <br/> <br/>So, Attack and Heal are the only useful things, and after a while Attack is enough. <br/> <br/>Spent more time on it than I would have thought though. Easy leveling is always fun.
		There Is No Screwdriver	Glad you're learning to program. It's well worth it! <br/> <br/>About the game, not much more to add other than what others have said.
		http://blahwebstorage.googlepages.com/Game.html	No source? Doesn't seem to be minimalistic. Hard. Confusing and messy controls with the tanker (what does it do?) and frigate (never got it). <br/> <br/>Grats on learning Flash though, ever got around to it myself.
		Title Unknown	Having pygame troubles, might try after reinstall.
		Origami Wars	Might look into after all valid entries.
		Steroids	No mac :(
		Casey is ready to rock (kind of)	Python trouble.. I seem to be missing some package. Might try again later. <br/> <br/>Also, while the readme is amusing, a short concise text on how to play the game would have been more helpful.
