Timestamp	Since previous	Game	mikeware's comment
		Strong AI	Good Fun. Enjoyed actually being able to beat the game.
		Trivial Escape from Minimalist Island	Nice Adventure, like the style. Took a little while to figure out about turning though.
		Things on Top of Other Things	I love how my block becomes like a hammer to destroy enemies.
		Still Pond	Nice idea, simple and sweat. The deck of cards was just cruel...like 52 pickup. Then, I finally got past it and lost the next level. Of course, it can just go on forever...
		Pixelman 3	That's a lot of fun. I almost made it to the end of level five before dying... :)
		Minimaze	Lot of fun, just wish the snowball moved a tiny bit slower.
		warrior	Pretty cool 3D work for a weekend. The snow was a work of art. I found aiming to be a little tricky though. I kept trying to click on the "enemies" but I'd have to adjust so my line of fire would actually hit them.
		Sailor	It could use a few little tweaks and sound, but it's strangely addictive. I got up to 1690 once. I kept going off the side a lot though.
		Tiny Hawk final release	Fun little idea. I wish I could change directions though, as when I screw up, I need to wait awhile.
		Exxon – The decontaminator	Really fun game, great achievement for 48 hours. Too bad there wasn't any sound though, that would have just been the icing on the cake.
		GBGames presents Minimalist – the	I kept getting the sense of impending doom. Thought I'd have to make it to the goal before something bad happened. Amazing, how something so simple can be powerful, fits the theme perfectly. Of course, I found a way to cheat... just move your mouse outside the game window... But then it's not as much fun. Strangely addictive...
		entry – Minim Madness	I was finally able to figure out the drawing bit after about 10 minutes. I'm maybe at 60-70% accuracy now. The big problem now is aiming, larger targets might help, and being able to delete minims. Definitely having a little more leniency would be good, obviously it's pretty good at guessing as you've displayed the cross. Hope to see more in the future.
		The Butler Did It	I like the look and the idea; I love murder mysteries. Though I think the interface would need a little work to make it a bit more fun. i.e. showing the items in the rooms, having names above the icons of the characters, etc...
		Too minimal for a name…	Seemed to run too slow on the high resolution for me. Would love some sounds, but love the fact that if I had time I could make my own levels. For those interested, look at line 262 of LD48.cpp for keys.
		Mininode	I really like the mechanics, seems like there could be lots you could do with it. Wish you had made a few more levels to see the diversity. Can't believe you used Scheme though...
		Title Unknown	Very pretty graphical work, just wish we saw more night sky and stars than green grass.
		The Pushers	Nice Polish. Wish there was an opponent for one player though.
		win32.dll The Game	Very Scary... I too wanted to keep reading all the pop ups. Love, how the taskbar was like your health bar.
		Final Submission	Just needs sounds and explosion effects to go from good to great.
		MinMo LD11	I like the style of the game a lot. I just feel like I need a jump button... And maybe pillars that I'm next to should move more than the others so I won't have to wait as long. Or at least with jump, if the pillar is a pixel or two taller, I'd be good to go.
		miniPals	Reminds me of "Head over Heals" a bit, except there's no combine mode. Fun little game.
		Spacbattle is done-ish	It was a pretty interesting game; however, it was hard to continually have to tweak the movement of all your ships.
		“Desktop Rox”	It looks like you put a lot of work into the entry. I think a little sound would help make it a little more engaging.
		Omnihunter	I'm a "snakey" folk, and I couldn't get it to run either, even after downloading PyOpenGL. Any reason you just didn't want to use only PyGame? <br/> <br/>The easy setup script worked after installing PyOpenGL, thanks. The game was pretty hard to last past a few seconds though. It took a while to realize you were actually moving...
		MiniMall	I wish there were a few more store types that I could build...
		Space Stuff Trader	It looks like it has a lot of potential. It was just hard to see things and move around, especially when the enemies fire so much more than you do. I think my biggest problem with the controls was just being able to aim accurately. That and of course, getting lost, because I'd try and accelerate away from the bad guys and then I'd be stuck trying to slow down and get back to the planets. Would love to see more though.
		Circle conquest	It's an interesting concept, fits the theme. It takes a little while to figure out what you need to do, especially as if you're not paying attention at the start. The computer can get a head start. Might have been good to have a "start" button. Also, at some points it seems really hard to select your units. Nice use of Flash though.
		Dot2doT	Like the simplicity. Reminds me of Sonic Blue Sphere a bit.
		As good as it is going to get	Well, I do have a facebook account. Lot of stuff for 48 hours, very cool. However, I think a character name check would be good, as it looks like a lot of people aren't naming their characters...
		Marginal Ungolf Spectacle	Very fun, great idea to use PSD. It'd be interesting to see what else you could exploit with the format.
		Micro Macro	Interesting, but pretty confusing. Wish you had a little extra time to throw on the polish.
		Col-4	It's an interesting twist to columns, but I think it'd be a little better with a smaller playing area, it takes a long time before rotating even comes into play.
		RPG Battle Simulation	Looks pretty neat. Like the graphical HP damage display indicator. But it kept crashing on me when I tried to heal.
