Forest Oh wow, this is fantastic! Wish I'd thought of it...
Apocalypse Adventure Very impressive. There's an awful lot of stuff for a game put together in 48 hours.
Cat Planet This is great, and my favourite game so far. Really hard too, but the level design is fantastic for a 48 hour game.
Chameleon This is a really neat idea, though it feels like it needs a little something extra to really flesh it out. Perhaps power-ups to increase the area of detection, single-use drones etc.
...Deeper I really like the hexes and the visual style (oh, and the music), but it could use more things to do or avoid. It feels a bit too empty as it is.
Authentic Space Exploration I like the idea, but it needs something more to keep the player engaged. As it is you're just looking at scrolling stars for ages and ages. <br/> <br/>Also, it seemed to work fine in firefox for me?
Asploreheim I found it very buggy. Most times it would crash as soon as I hit the login button. As others have said, it could use some kind of background to indicate that you're moving, and it really needs some kind of goal beyond the basic 'flag as many hills as you can' goal. Maybe the ability to build your own castle once you've flagged enough hills?
Chopface There may not really be anything to do, but that wee guy was great. And I loved the music, together with the landscape it felt like I was in a videogame version of The Clangers ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Clangers ).
Bashplore Quite a feat making a game in bash, but it seemed a little buggy on my machine (ubuntu 9.10). My 2nd playthrough (on the 1st I quit by accident - I'm so used to . meaning wait) I couldn't hit the rats, they just stood there and got in my way. I also only ever saw rats and clubs, which made things kind of repetitive - it looks like there was maybe meant to be more stuff though? <br/> <br/>With more stuff (and working combat) I could see it being a decent little minimal roguelike. <br/> <br/>(also, it's a bit awkward trying to play it on a netbook - no numpad)
Amke's Revenge I found this pretty hard - I kept falling off the ladders and I couldn't for the life of me jump over the guys without colliding with them. <br/> <br/>Having said that, the moment when you come out of the cave into the desert, with the huge sun hanging over you, is really cool. Makes the frustration of the previous levels worthwhile.
Number Explorer Maybe I'm missing something, but - this isn't a game? it's just a calculator and a(n incorrect) battery readout.
