Apr 29 07:15:00		Spacus	For me the game crashes too on startup
Apr 29 08:28:00	1h 13m	Minimalist Dungeon	Fun! Love the visual style. Could use more hints and information either here or in-game
Apr 29 08:28:00	0s	Grab That Key!	I expected at least one of these! If you had added just a single real obstacle, you would have aced the theme as far as I'm concerned. In my opinion the lack of a challenge is the one thing that keeps it from being a game (and thus a minimalist game)
Apr 29 08:28:00	0s	Justice	The game crashed for me with 20 seconds left, out of nowhere. The second time through I didn't ask any questions and just waited to see the ending but I don't know if that makes a difference. <br/>Crashed the second time too at "25 years minimum" <br/> <br/>I think you used the theme really, really well any way you look at it. I liked that you had to pick the right questions with limited time, but most of the questions seemed irrelevant to me anyway. <br/> <br/>In the end I would offer the pleabargain no matter what, because I don't believe in capital punishment, so that made it a bit less thrilling for me.
Apr 29 08:28:00	0s	CREPITUS	Looks and sounds good. Plays well too but I think the Crepiti took too many hits to die and it took the action out of it. <br/> <br/>I'm also missing how you used the theme. I'm guessing it's the fact that you used pixel art. I love pixel art, but I think just going for pixel art (or brightly colored squares for that matter) without exploring the theme in a different wat is a bit of an easy solution since it still allows you to make just about any game you want.
Apr 29 08:28:00	0s	I'm Not a Paper Person!	I wouldn't really count mouse controls as "one button" since you have full use of the x and y axis,but it was a really fun and clever game.
Apr 29 08:28:00	0s	BEAPE	Nice game! <br/> <br/>It was a nice attempt at making a musical game, but I think it isn't what it could have been in that regard. That's because by design, in your game things only ever happen exactly on the beat and never on an offbeat, that made the sound feel like a march. You could think about adding elements that are half on one square and half on the other, or just soundloops that are turned on and off by walking over special tiles (that for example,temporarily open doors while that sound is playing).
Apr 29 08:28:00	0s	Kill Tower	The game is very clever! It seems you've managed your time really well!
Apr 29 08:28:00	0s	SpeedJumper !	First of all, using music from other games is against the rules, I believe, and I'm pretty sure this one isn't public domain. The fact that you can't see what's coming makes this very trial and error, which made it a bit frustrating. <br/>I do like the look of the game!
Apr 29 08:28:00	0s	Perfection Achieved	Great Idea, I'm surprised by the originality of games so far. In the end after a lot of searching I couldn't even solve the first painting, though. I'm really bad at searching.
Apr 29 08:29:00	1m 00s	Persist	Music and visuals are great! The game is fun but at some points (waterfall) a bit frustrating.
Apr 29 08:38:00	9m 00s	The Time Saver	I think the level design was a bit boring, with long parts of walking. And too many levels lacked any challenge. I quit at the key level because I did not feel like pushing the block all the way to the switch.
Apr 29 08:47:00	9m 00s	The Voice Of Fire	Those are some pretty difficult questions! I chose based on what I think I would do and not what I think I should do. (That is, kill neither, try to save the most severely injured)
Apr 29 08:53:00	6m 00s	Listmamini	Turns out "Valider et telecharger le fichier" is french for "download", hehe, was confused there for a minute. <br/> <br/>The game confused me as well. Got two times bronze, one time gold, and replaced some flowers a couple of times. What did I miss?
Apr 29 09:05:00	12m 00s	ppet -- a random tamagotchi permadeath sim	Theodore likes it when I click on him! :) <br/>Nemo suddenly exploded :(
Apr 29 10:21:00	1h 16m	Huoheian	Looks awesome! Nice colors. It seems the best strategy is to just stay in the center, it took a really long time for the game to get difficult that way.
Apr 29 14:40:00	4h 19m	Midnight Inertia	Like others have said, music and visuals are really interesting, but I couldn't figure out what to do
Apr 29 14:40:00	0s	Casino	I don't completely know what this has to do with the theme, but somehow it still makes sense. The job section really feels like a job, which is good.
Apr 29 14:40:00	0s	Cubecatcher	Interesting mechanics, but I often had to wait over 10 seconds before I could pick anything up.
Apr 29 14:40:00	0s	MinimalisMan	God seemed to speak from minimalisman's butt. Other than that, it was fun, but a little easy.
Apr 29 14:47:00	7m 00s	Mini Pirates!	This was actually pretty darn fun for something made in 4 hours!
Apr 29 14:53:00	6m 00s	True treasure of Kartoffelschloss	Nice! Theme well used. The controls, especially the walljumping wasn't perfect though, and some weapons were too similar for my taste. I'm sad I dropped the bow first.
Apr 29 15:05:00	12m 00s	Fallen Outside	Great! The walljumping is bit easily abused. In level 5 I got to the top left potato a lot easier than it seemed intended. The music can get a bit annoying, especially the part with the chords.
Apr 29 15:21:00	16m 00s	Grasshopper	The long vertical formation is pretty mean. Other than that it's a great little one button game. But I do feel I've seen this mechanic before.
Apr 29 15:21:00	0s	Arena	Best graphics I've seen so far (and I've seen some good looking games already) It feels smooth too. I'm really bad at isometric controls, so it was a bit hard to play for me, but if I was better I bet it would have been a lot more fun, so that's my problem.
Apr 29 15:21:00	0s	hunter hungry	Great visual style and mood! Nice audio too. Leveldesign was nice. I didn't get why the first room lagged so much and why the resolution was lower.
Apr 29 15:26:00	5m 00s	Minimize This!	Great use of the theme! May be the best use of theme yet.
Apr 29 15:29:00	3m 00s	'moeba	This is pretty great. I love the style and colors!
Apr 29 15:34:00	5m 00s	Too Small	I like how you went from "minimalism" to "mini", that's minimalistic thinking right there! <br/> <br/>Nice game too.
Apr 29 15:42:00	8m 00s	Square Quest	Great! I especially liked the music. The game itself played really well, but I couldn't see the bullets too well on the light pink sand. I think you could have added a lot of atmosphere to the game by choosing different colors.
Apr 29 15:46:00	4m 00s	Babel	I think the combat was random on purpose? It kind of takes the strategy away, which was what I was looking forward to the most. But I guess that's what makes it minimalist. I too loved the chosen colors.
Apr 29 16:04:00	18m 00s	SUSTAIN	I like how gameplay, visuals and audio work together. I also think your concept worked out pretty well.
Apr 29 16:12:00	8m 00s	Nod	Absolutely brilliant. Gave 5 stars in 5 categories.
Apr 29 16:59:00	47m 00s	Sociales Santillana	Very visually pleasing. Unlike most of the minimalistic visual art inspired games I've seen, this game actually looks like an art piece.
Apr 29 17:29:00	30m 00s	RPG	Everything that needs to be there is there, and very little more. Good job!
Apr 29 19:37:00	2h 08m	Budget Squad	Score 3250: Amazingly polished as usual. Nice concept too. Looking forward to the timelapse.
May 1 09:37:00	38h 00m	(Follow the) Line	I really missed the music. Other than that great entry!
May 2 14:52:00	29h 15m	Four Scepters	Very good! Havn't gotten very far yet, but I'm going to keep trying!
