Dec 20 20:10:00		Disco?Very!	I like it. Though on a german keyboard it is not playable, because the keys are like everywhere but near each other. Keys like D C K M would have worked on more keyboards.
Dec 20 21:47:00	1h 37m	Thirst	It gets a bit tedious at first because you don't know anything. Once you find some pieces it gets better. I actually did not want to play another time to find all the pieces because it is kind of boring to walk around. <br/> <br/>I really like the move sliding it does when walking. <br/>Some snakes would be cool that you would have to dodge or anything that keeps you motivated. In the end, well it really does a good job getting you the deserted experience ;)
Dec 20 22:04:00	17m 00s	Discover the elements: Quest for Air	Doesn't work on linux with latest firefox either
Dec 20 22:11:00	7m 00s	The Jelly Caves	Nice game. Decent graphics and ... well... damn you those blue jellies. They keep shooting and you just can't kill them. Also these red jellies are making me crazy... fun game.
Dec 20 22:23:00	12m 00s	Disco? Very!	Extra points for hosting ppl in your home. <br/>There are some graphical glitches. This dude sliding stayed on screen for me the whole game through. <br/>Then i just can't get past this dancing dude although he keeps telling me nice. I bet there is a way. But the idea is worth a try, so please keep working on that. <br/> <br/>Fun to play, great music and did I say fun? Wait a sec, where is the difference between humor and fun in here?
Dec 22 12:39:00	38h 16m	Life on other planets	It is a fun little game. Though for me as a bad player I get caught by the hostile aliens too fast. Like they appear and I immediately die. <br/> <br/>I totally love the background graphics. The multi-dimensional paralax-scrolling is awesome and adds to the perceived depth of the galaxy. Also the beam ray looks awesome. The behaviour is fine too. I had some fun following my own beam into eternity. <br/> <br/>Good theme recognition and graphics. Overall fine little game. Some more features would have been awesome, like more accomplishments or stuff.
Dec 23 19:10:00	30h 31m	Tile Walker	The game is okay. With Canvas and HTML5 it could have been better though. Faster, better controls and stuff. <br/> <br/>Good point on the theme though. <br/> <br/>Maybe I am just too ADD for this one...
Dec 23 20:00:00	50m 00s	In the Darkness I Shall Fall	Can't really rate this one, because although it states to have a web version, there is no unity webplayer available for linux.
Dec 23 20:37:00	37m 00s	Mystery of Yrevoc Sid	It was a nice game. Great idea that you started there. Unfortunately you were out of time to make more enemies and a major goal. <br/> <br/>Controls are kinda hard on my notebook but i got it working. Great huge world you got there. I ended up running up most of the time, firing through the walls and finding the end. I thought I had it, but then it went further on the sides. <br/> <br/>No music there to be rated. I can see the theme would have fitted in there. Overall a nice little start of a game.
Dec 27 09:03:00	84h 26m	DiscHovery	The idea could be fun, if it were finished. There are some graphic quirks I guess when the ball is hit by this thingies turning him into the discs. <br/> <br/>Needed some time to figure out jumping OVER the ladder part. Then it was a pain in the ass to catch the ramps and not get killed by the hover-turning-thingies. <br/> <br/>Could be a nice game. I like the graphics. With some nice disco beats, less sensitivity on my trackball, and smoother movement, this could be a nice little time killer at work. <br/> <br/>No community involvement? No chatting on IRC, a little catch up blog entry or anything? Not even a timelapse? Especially the part about banging your head with the stupid unity could have been fun to watch in the timelapse.
Dec 27 10:04:00	1h 01m	Orbs of Sound	Yay Timelapse video. I just love em. And I love that you started to create a completely different game, ending up with changing your mind. Little short though. Also you got the obligatory gaming down too. <br/> <br/>The game is fun. I like the theme recognition and the claustrophobic feeling to it. Oftentimes I just could look through a little gap in between cubes but did not fit in there. This blended well with the sound. Very claustrophobic indeed. <br/> <br/>Graphics are fine, not too exciting. But still they also blend in quite nice. Everything looks ghostly and pale. Creating a nice atmosphere. <br/> <br/>No humor, but that would actually misfit here. So nice work all in all. Maybe some kind of sonar, more than just the audio, would be nice. It was just so damn hard to find anything in there.
Dec 27 16:23:00	6h 19m	A Discovery Lost	Dude this game made me crazy. It is so slow, I don't know what happens. I bet there is a fine concept to it. I bet i totally underestimate it. But with my ADD it is totally not playable. <br/> <br/>Though plus point for humor, because it is just funny how enraged I got myself by just trying to stick to a round of the game, and just not getting what it is doing. <br/> <br/>Would still have loved to see a timelapse for this because I bet there is more to it than my add-eyes could see.
Dec 27 16:43:00	20m 00s	Search & Secure	Not much community interaction. Timelapse would have been nice. <br/> <br/>This game is just killing me. I once found one thing in free play mode. Never even found the glasses near a tree. Near a tree? Dude, find em yourself because I just can't do it. <br/> <br/>Nice job with two game modes though.
Dec 27 16:55:00	12m 00s	Land of the Fishies	Aw man, this game is so plain awesome. Could have played it way earlier, had it not stated that it is a windows game. Because it is not. It's a flash game. <br/> <br/>The graphics are awesome. This dude is looking great. The style is amazing. The movement, plain awesomeness in sweet sugar sauce. <br/> <br/>It is so fun playing the game. I had a good time laughing. The bunny was amazing. The fishies are so fun. <br/> <br/>Audio? Man you played the guitar. Awesome music. More than one theme even. <br/> <br/>Humor. Check. The game was fun in overall. Even on topic you were great. Discovering a whole world in your poster. Very well. <br/> <br/>Only sad points were in community. A timelapse would have been awesome seeing you drawing all the stuff. Or playing the guitar. Would have loved to see that. But hey, nobody's perfect. <br/> <br/>Really good work indeed.
Dec 28 12:11:00	19h 16m	Nameless Island	Well it's a nice little game. Nice mini games. <br/> <br/>Though it get's really boring because you just can't find anything in here. For my ADD type of gaming the island is too big, and there is too little to do on the big territory. <br/> <br/>Nice idea though and kind of nice run on the theme. <br/> <br/>Very big plus points on community though. You got everything down man.
Dec 28 12:24:00	13m 00s	The Complex	Well for me the game also is ugly. Red outlines and bad graphics. But it told me that it was not able to load the OpenGL stuff, so maybe that is the case. <br/>When the complex started for a second there I had the feeling being in one of the dungeons of Might and Magic, so nice point on that. This could be a nice game with more animation, a plot and more stuff to do. Just wading through the dungeon with this slow scrolling became tedious. <br/>And because your theme was well done, i felt kinda disappointed finding out that there is nothing to the complex at all. <br/> <br/>Nice done though. Would have loved to see a timelapse on that, some more community stuff going.
Dec 28 12:49:00	25m 00s	DisGRAVery	Nice graphics, nice audio, decent proper game with well thought out concept and stuff. <br/> <br/>The fact that it was just not too dumb enough for my ADD should not stop nice points for you. Well, I did not have fun because finding out with no clues at all is just nothing for me. I did not like getting the hang of it, still it is a good game. <br/> <br/>So good work. Well done, nice game. Cool that you added a gameplay video. But even that did not tell me what to do. Yet, nice done. Timelapse is the only thing missing i guess.
Dec 28 13:16:00	27m 00s	Drill Warrior	Nice game. I had a lot of fun digging around, running through eternity and still after that coming back and digging up all the missing diamonds. But why the hell did I buy more than one drill? Apparently this one never broke anyways. <br/> <br/>Nice graphics, cool sounds and music, nice game, was fun and all. You even had some community stuff down, only thing missing is my lovely timelapse video. <br/> <br/>Really good work.
Dec 28 21:36:00	8h 20m	Minescape	No community stuff? No timelapse or anything? Aw man. <br/> <br/>Nice little game. Reminds me of boulder dash. But there is not too much resemblence with the theme. <br/> <br/>Nice music, though in wine it runs quirky. But that's not your fault. <br/> <br/>Good work overall.
Dec 28 21:44:00	8m 00s	Case Closed	Nice work man. A full on storyline. A loooooot to read. That is actually too much for my ADD type, but it really is a lot of work you put in here. <br/> <br/>Sadly I can not see it because there is no timelapse video of you doing it. Would have liked to see it though. <br/> <br/>Good points on theme, on graphics, on overall a nicely done project.
Dec 28 21:58:00	14m 00s	Discoveries	I don't get it. Had 14 something thought streams explored, found the word discovery, found a blond girl then game over. <br/>I just don't get it. <br/> <br/>You had your moments in blogging that is okay. Would have liked to see a timelapse though.
Dec 28 22:15:00	17m 00s	Grand Mystic Quest of Discovery	Man this is so perfect. A lovely lovely nice little game. Awesome atmosphere, graphics, gameplay, everything. For this short amount of time it is really well. <br/> <br/>Just the Z key is something i really hate because of my german keyboard layout. <br/> <br/>No community points though. No blog entry, no timelapse. Man, i'd have devoured your timelapse video. Well, maybe next time. <br/> <br/>Overall still awesome
Jan 1 22:08:00	95h 53m	Lost Races' Abandoned Artifact Recovery	At least you posted a post mortem, some blog entries. But i did not get what you said about the timelapse. So is there one or not? I don't see a link so none for me to give a point to. <br/> <br/>You said the game is no fun. But actually I had at least this much fun to play through it to the end. Yeah I did not get the mini map, also not the alien stuff, but i found it rather ambient. I liked it actually. <br/> <br/>So yeah, I did have fun, the graphics were nice, the game was simple enough to finish for my ADD self, so yeah. Good work there.
Jan 1 22:40:00	32m 00s	Discover The Name	Nice little game you got there. The controls are a bit quirky, the goal is more or less clear. <br/> <br/>The graphics are fine. But what is there to discover again? Dunno, but somehow i can't say you are totally off theme here. <br/>Audio was not fluent on my system, but dunno if that is any of your mistake. It's linux btw. <br/> <br/>Good work, total yay for a timelapse. Full points on community stuff then. Also see you were in the irc, so hey, you know the drill.
Jan 1 23:11:00	31m 00s	Dinosaur Dance-Off	Aw no timelapse. But you still get an extra point for community because of the dance off feature. Though your one seems to win all the time. <br/> <br/>Very cool game. I can't add anything new to the chain of praises already been written. So yeah. I guess this is one of the top candidates.
Jan 2 16:23:00	17h 12m	The Dreamer	Talking pie sidekick? That is just awesome. At least you made the dream come true. <br/> <br/>Nice game. I played it till the end. I really wanted to find all guys. The ending was amazing. Really nice game, great concept, good theme fulfillment. Great humor, overall a really really fun little game.
Jan 2 20:34:00	4h 11m	Autoflotilla	No timelapse? Well, there go 2 community points. Although you did post enough. <br/> <br/>The game was theme based, and kinda nice. Just was too damn hard, because i died way too often and regularly. <br/> <br/>Good work for the shortness of time.
Jan 2 21:10:00	36m 00s	Chaotic Spread	At least you have a timelapse. But this is actually the first one i saw that is really boring. The whole two-screen-setup let's you see actually nearly nothing. And nearly a whole minute you were sleeping. <br/> <br/>The game is kinda boring too. I can't do anything just fly around and name planets? And what is it with the login screen? I don't get that part. <br/> <br/>At least there is something to discover. <br/>Overall, sorry, no likey.
