May 2 22:30:00		Lasers Are Dangerous	I really liked the style of the character animations and of the music.
May 2 22:52:00	22m 00s	Light The Way	The game looks great and was interesting to play. Very nice for 10 hours of effort.
May 2 22:59:00	7m 00s	Sonar	Cute game, but tough. Is it just me, or are a couple of the jumps completely blind, so the only way to learn where to go is to die?
May 2 23:27:00	28m 00s	Torch	I liked the art, and the game was pretty fun to play. There were a couple of blind jumps that I found frustrating.
May 3 00:17:00	50m 00s	Spark	That was unexpected. I like the visual style. The web link is typically a link to play the game in the browser, but your web link is broken.
May 3 00:24:00	7m 00s	A fine day in the parking lot	Super cool visuals. The slow reaction time of the character was a bit frustrating, but it added to the tension of the game. Well done.
May 3 01:34:00	1h 10m	Curse Of The Golden Pearl	As always, an interesting and fun game. If you have a run of bad luck at the start, the beginning of the game can be frustratingly slow.
May 3 01:43:00	9m 00s	Resurgon Futuron	Very cool graphics. It's fun to fly around, but because it can be hard to understand your position, dying can be a bit frustrating.
May 3 02:00:00	17m 00s	Urguff	Obviously unfinished, but very nice art.
May 3 02:16:00	16m 00s	VIGILANCE	Wow! Great job. I couldn't believe it when my character started kicking people on the ground. Very clever, and very well done. This actually reminded me of Commies a little, which is kind of neat. I found I had some lag in the afternoon sections, particularly on the last day.
May 3 04:22:00	2h 06m	The Alone Sword	Nice. Very stylish and fairly interesting. Slow controls were a bit frustrating.
May 3 04:58:00	36m 00s	Block Push Championship	I really enjoyed the twist in the gameplay and the integration of the theme.
May 3 05:07:00	9m 00s	Wild Forest	Really beautiful art. I wanted more.
May 3 06:02:00	55m 00s	Let Me Save You! Your Faithful Companion	I don't think anyone has ever done anything quite like this for a ld48 before. I thought it was fun, and the writing was amusing.
May 3 06:37:00	35m 00s	Officer Alfred	Really solid, well done. I liked the puzzles and the game mechanics. I really wanted to get to the mysterious guy in the lower hallway, but I couldn't find a way to do it. Too bad about the end.
May 3 06:58:00	21m 00s	Take This	Nice Voxels! I really like what you did with the old men.
May 4 17:11:00	34h 13m	CatTroller	That was fun. I liked throwing the cats, and the giant chain of cats at the end was great. Also, this is the first "take this cat" themed game I've encountered. It would be nice if the enemies moved more randomly and were less aggressive. Also, you might want to consider finding a way to upload this as a Java applet or Java Web Start program or something like that. Not a lot of people are going to know what to do with a Jar file inside a rar, and you will get less ratings and reviews because of this.
May 4 21:40:00	4h 29m	Pludum Dary	At first I tried to play with the keyboard, and that doesn't work very well at all. It's much more fun with the mouse.
May 5 06:57:00	9h 17m	Diamond Hollow	Very nice. Is there an ending beyond the achievements? I unlocked all the upgrades through persistence, but I never got very high up. Fun, but very challenging.
May 5 17:08:00	10h 11m	The Last Survivor	Very solid. I liked the audio.
May 5 19:17:00	2h 09m	Better You Than ME!	This is a very neat little game. Lots of fun. I think that it could be a little better with a faster jump. Also, sometimes there isn't enough space between the spike pits to survive.
May 6 15:47:00	20h 30m	Bonifaco's Bazaar	Great job. No one ever wanted to buy the armor from me, only the weapons. Perhaps this is a bug? Or maybe I missed something.
May 8 04:35:00	36h 48m	Have You Considered the Benefits of Life Insurance	Fun! Too bad about the lack of win screen.
May 8 04:44:00	9m 00s	Space Genocide	I liked the audio, and I thought the walk animation was pretty funny. The gameplay needs more work before to make it fun to play.
May 8 20:36:00	15h 52m	Red-Ball-City	The audio and visuals are actually kind of cool.
May 8 22:00:00	1h 24m	Crunchies - Its dengerous so take this DHL parcel and a spoon	The game physics for falling are really strange.
May 8 22:12:00	12m 00s	Princess Mystery Dungeon	This is a nice little game. More variety would be good, and the movement and attacks could use a little polish. Perhaps designed dungeons would have been better than the procedural ones? I really like that you included a boss fight, and I enjoyed the twist on the theme. Is there any sort of win state? Nothing happened for me after I killed the boss.
May 8 22:21:00	9m 00s	Stab the guy in the bushes	Unfortunately under windows xp I get: .NET framework initialization error, Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application. I have .NET installed as far as I can tell, so I'm not sure what the source of the problem is.
May 8 22:36:00	15m 00s	The Dimension	I liked the graphics. I found the last level a bit frustrating, especially because I didn't get to keep the hearts I collected in the previous level.
May 16 05:16:00	174h 40m	Thank You Hobo	Neat little game. The gameplay is kind of similar to what I was going for. With multiple weapons and some nice pixel art, I think you did a better job than I did. I really like your take on the theme. Getting rid of the instant death would be nice.
May 22 22:20:00	161h 04m	p.i.g	Really solid. Very well done. The interface would be slightly nicer if the line showing where you are aiming was above the tiles instead of underneath. Perhaps highlighting the tile you will hit in real time would be good. Also, making the portals more forgiving when you are moving at high speeds would probably make things easier without compromising the challenge of the puzzles.
May 22 22:27:00	7m 00s	Jump Climb Die	The jump mechanic is interesting, though a bit frustrating at times. A and D and the arrow keys didn't seem to work for me. I also got some pretty bad lag with the particle effects when I died.
May 22 22:37:00	10m 00s	A Spawn Named Bob	You might want to mention the dash command somewhere in the game, as I didn't see it at the bottom of the web page at first. The dash is pretty cool. Taking damage from the a high fall and the lack of checkpoint are a bit frustrating though. More content would go a long way in this game.
May 22 22:57:00	20m 00s	Air Pirates	Neat little game. With some balancing and some polish, I think it would be a lot of fun. I think further upgrades for your plane would be great. It took me a bit to figure out what was happening when I pushed z.
May 22 23:25:00	28m 00s	Don't Go Alone	I like the twist on the escort mission idea. Nice job. I died a couple of times on the final two boss things, which was frustrating. I didn't seem to get much of the story either, as when I got to the house, I briefly got an image of inside the house, then the game exited. From the other comments, it sounds like you put some interesting story features into this, but I wasn't able to find them.
May 22 23:34:00	9m 00s	PandaBot	Really beautifully animated. That you have to open the umbrella while on the upward portion of your jump to maximize your distance was a bit weird and unintuitive.
May 22 23:43:00	9m 00s	Danger! Take.	Clever take on the theme. The mechanic is neat, though hard to take advantage of. With some more work, you could probably put in some clever puzzles.
May 22 23:53:00	10m 00s	Lone Tank	It's limited, but it has some neat features. I found the tank a bit slow and difficult to drive. But I can see potential for this.
May 22 23:58:00	5m 00s	The Last of the Nyoms (Prologue)	I liked the character animation. Nice job on the audio as well. I found the movement a bit unresponsive, and I always struggle with ninja rope games, so I didn't make it very far.
May 23 00:04:00	6m 00s	Innocence	Crazy hard and unforgiving. And the wait at the start for the action to begin gets a bit frustrating after the 5th time. But there are some stylistic touches that are really nice.
May 23 00:11:00	7m 00s	Mittens	Game play could use more variety to make it more interesting. Nice take on the theme, and a fun little story. Graphics were very cool, though as others mentioned there is some jitter on the main character movement.
