Dark Maze Mathematica? How the...
Forest I hear what you did there.
Climbrunner Watching the guy run the wrong direction without any way to turn him around is annoying. It's a very clever idea, though, and I like the economy of it (just one button!)
Robot Wants Kitty Amazing level design!
The Europa Arcology Incident For two days, this is absolutely incredible. I am in awe.
Cubees: Age of Exploration Hey, I like the avatars! Great game, though I wish there were more abilities, types of things to discover, or some other reason that I should keep playing beyond the first few levels.
Dungeon Explorer Pretty neat. The glow when you complete a level is quite satisfying. As mentioned above, the trial and error aspect makes the game annoying on the later levels.
...Deeper This game did not work for me (Mac OS 10.6.2). It gave the error, "pygame.error: File is not a Windows BMP file".
Explo48 Nice graphics, but the game is just frustrating.
Hole Jump It's fun, but this isn't really exploration!
towlr: EXPLR The "exploration of mechanics" metagame is interesting and could be expanded upon. A game with a huge and confusing set of rules, user interface elements, and winning conditions would have made an interesting LD16 entry. Something like "Calvinball, the video game".
Echolon The fact that the bullets bounce is key! The bouncing noise is also not annoying. Short, but entertaining while it lasted. I didn't experience any lag or flicker.
Spacexplorer The buttons on the right side represent which shapes you've destroyed. It looks like you have to destroy at least one of each shape in a tier to progress to the next.
Boboil's Adventure I (bo)boiled? What does that even mean? <br/> <br/>Anyway, I feel like there's no compelling reason for me to be playing. Why do I want to get these gems? To buy items? Why do I need these items? To acquire more gems?
Scouting only! It is difficult to tell what is harmful and what is helpful. The "run around like mad" strategy does seem to dominate. I like the theme a lot, though!
Drifting in the Stellar Winds The persistent universe part is neat; I wish there were more things to modify/create.
Come and See This could use a few more words about how to play. I'm still not sure how you get gold.
