Apr 30 21:31:00		++Pet;	Very cute, I'm not sure I entirely figured out what the buttons do, aside from right, but I kept it alive to 13 D:
Apr 30 21:39:00	8m 00s	CIRCLE SQUARE TRIANGLE	Oh this is addictive, very nice!
Apr 30 21:48:00	9m 00s	soundscape	Great concept, though I cannot find the heart at all, I don't seem to notice any change in the volume of the heart beats. But maybe I'm just wandering in circles :P
Apr 30 22:02:00	14m 00s	Edward Was Human	Pretty nice relaxing experience, I thought the first part was more interesting than the rest - as being unable to go left has a weird disorienting feeling, which I was really enjoying, and hoped would continue (like... if jump had been disabled at the bottom of the cave or something). Good job.
Apr 30 22:10:00	8m 00s	Colon Right Parentheses	Love the graphics, pretty challenging game. It got pretty hard after the purple guys, I hope I was near the end D:
Apr 30 22:14:00	4m 00s	M	Well I reached blue, but was it the right shade of blue? Is there an end screen at all? <br/>Perfect fit for the theme!
Apr 30 22:24:00	10m 00s	REVOLVENGARDE	This is awesome, I love everything about it. You even used minimalism in the title screen, that is great, music is great, game is awesome and very tough D:
Apr 30 22:33:00	9m 00s	The Only String	Nice use of theme, pretty cool.
May 1 07:58:00	9h 25m	World of Minimalism	Great idea, though the theme was minimalism it would be nice if there was something more to do, not sure what though exactly...
May 1 08:06:00	8m 00s	i need to lie down	Very nice unsettling atmosphere =o
May 2 00:47:00	16h 41m	Minimalist Dungeon Crawler	Pretty tough, maybe too tough? Sometimes/frequently the second room I enter has 9 slimes and 4 bats with nothing to hide behind D: <br/>Good game, way to go on getting roguelike zelda in such a short time!
May 2 01:09:00	22m 00s	Undercolor Agents	Great game. Love the variety of weapons (bouncy gun is super fun)
May 2 01:22:00	13m 00s	Less is More?	Really clever puzzles! Had to use my brain :D
May 2 10:35:00	9h 13m	Invertigo!	Excellent - I kind of wish there had been more save points, I kept dying in the level just before the second save point for a while, and was a little frustrating. Love the music
May 2 10:46:00	11m 00s	Line Game	Good challenge, a little too hard for me, I couldn't focus on the timing of the black on/off lines and my own movement very well, maybe if they had some kind of transition "I'm just about to go solid" colour for a split second I might have been able to do it. I got to the level in the second screenshot though :D
May 2 11:01:00	15m 00s	Leaf Me Alone	Awesome. I really like the abilities the little guy finds, they're not the standard set of things you find in most metroidvanias, and it's all real adorable :3
May 2 11:09:00	8m 00s	Simply Escape	I didn't even have to move until the third room, minimally difficult indeed :D <br/>Shame you didn't have more time, this would have been pretty cool if it had been expanded with a few more "rooms"
May 2 11:26:00	17m 00s	Block Disco	Pretty hard. Dying when you reach the top of the screen seems incredibly counter-intuitive, I can see why you don't want the player going too high, but I die so often just getting too caught up in "gotta go up!!!" mentality :P <br/>I also seem to occasionally not grab onto an object, or am unable to jump off it if its rotating a little which is a little frustrating. <br/>Really awesome and addictive though, I really want to beat my high score D:
May 2 11:48:00	22m 00s	Min	Love the cute style, especially when you or bosses take damage. It's a little frustrating, the bosses are really fun, I'd like to keep challenging the octopus guy and figure out a strategy, but I feel like the crab levels are just getting in the way of that fun =/
May 2 11:58:00	10m 00s	Spacus	I'm on Win7 and it just crashes on startup, I just get the standard "spacus.exe has stopped working" message :(
May 2 12:19:00	21m 00s	Bezier Challenge	Interesting puzzle, pretty fun challenge but I cannot for the life of me beat level 4
May 2 12:29:00	10m 00s	Eraseregg	So what's a good high score? I got 36,532 :) Would have been good to have a... some way of judging your score without having to compare on forums/here - like a bronze/silver/gold comparison score to aim for. Nice original idea, interesting take on the theme, good job.
May 2 12:58:00	29m 00s	Plex	It's a little annoying having to navigate through the menu after every level, but that's my only complaint. Interesting puzzles, the way the squares change colour and shape as the level opens is really cool. Good stuff!
May 2 13:10:00	12m 00s	F*** This Job	Awesome job! Made it to the end somehow :D
May 2 13:19:00	9m 00s	crush.	Nice tranquil feel while playing this despite the OHGODIMGOINGTOGETCRUSHED aspect
May 2 13:26:00	7m 00s	TOO MANY DISTRACTIONS	Cool idea... what on earth is that electrical device on the right? Dude, forget whatever you're typing, you seem to have a matter generator on your desk, patent that and make millions! <br/>Game seemed to crash my browser (opera) when I won =/
May 3 12:22:00	22h 56m	QUEST SPACE	Not quite what I was expecting... there are quite a lot of ways you could have made an on-rails, one-button RPG still have some actual gameplay. I laughed though, so I guess if that was the point... yay?!
May 3 12:44:00	22m 00s	Fearless	The game doesn't seem to have slowdown for me, but I still fell down into non-space like Pierric, it seems to happen most if I jump from a high spot and land next to a wall, which is kind of making getting further than this a little frustrating =/ You should probably also put the controls somewhere, I died like three times thinking the game had a fixed camera perspective :\| <br/> <br/>I really like the mask alarm system, and the stealth seems to work great which is mind blowing for such a short time! Way to go.
May 3 13:03:00	19m 00s	The Rules Are Simple...	I know its just barely a second, but waiting for the box to be filled in in a game where death happens frequently, builds up to frustration D: <br/>Despite frustrations, good game, nice ideas, managed to get to the end and enjoyed the little bonus thing :D
May 3 13:14:00	11m 00s	PLOG	Very tranquil and relaxing. Good job.
May 3 13:31:00	17m 00s	SUSTAIN	What a great concept! Really fun, the variety of enemies that make use of the concept is great. <br/>One little issue - sometimes the next wave begins while there are still a couple enemies on screen, I assume this is unintended, but perhaps not?
May 3 14:01:00	30m 00s	Another Minimalistic War	Right click to restart without any confirmation message!?! aghhh <br/>Good job completing your first LD. I do believe if you look at the rules fixing minor bugs like the debug $500 thing is actually allowed after the deadline, just no major changes.
May 3 14:17:00	16m 00s	BatWorld	Good concept. I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing in the level with the red and blue sonar everywhere though =/
May 3 14:28:00	11m 00s	Less is More	Interesting concept! I minimalised everything >D
May 3 14:40:00	12m 00s	A Puzzling Composition	A cool bunch of puzzles :D
May 3 14:48:00	8m 00s	Nerdogochi	Very meta :P
May 3 15:01:00	13m 00s	Feint Signal	Cool game, love the way the circles pulse, and the simple but challenging gameplay.
May 4 11:39:00	20h 38m	Dark Black	Good job! I actually managed to beat it without looking for help, that never happens with me and adventure games =P
May 4 11:50:00	11m 00s	Shape Attack	the "how to play" text goes off the screen for me, so I can't read it :\| "when you touch another shape you wil-" I think I figured it all out though so I was still able to play. Fun game idea, good job.
May 4 12:24:00	34m 00s	A Square In A Room	I really like the use of theme and the different layers of invisible walls is a great concept. But there's a little too much trial and error in some areas. Especially level 15 -agh. Even the levels after that one seemed fairer.
May 4 12:50:00	26m 00s	Mr. Minimal	2177 points - level 28 :) <br/>Fun concept, a little issue with the difficulty pacing, it starts off incredibly easy for the first 17 or so levels, then after level 24 the red guys are going so fast and unpredictable that it is just luck hoping they don't bolt into you, and they stay in their corner. If it started off harder, but they had a little more pattern to their movement so there was a little bit of predictability (or even if they just faced a direction they were about to go) it might help a lot I think. <br/>I was unable to pick up any coins - probably why my score is low for my level? - they just lingered on screen level after level :(
May 4 13:17:00	27m 00s	Dragon Drop	My mind was blown. Great idea! <br/>Not sure how to progress further, or if I can, and don't want to post spoilers to find out :P
May 4 13:39:00	22m 00s	Mr Potato assembly-line	Didn't realise the mouse-movement=conveyor belt movement until I tried again, interesting idea and use of theme!
May 4 14:11:00	32m 00s	Bouncy Ball Extreme	Ah my pet peeve, games that use the keyboard to play, but the mouse to navigate levels and menus... <br/>Good game! Some interesting puzzle mechanics that I wish had been explored a little more, like two-balls-at-once level, and the falling block level (I was expecting to have to use the falling blocks quickly to get somewhere high, for example). I did end up building up too much speed in some levels and glitching through blocks, sometimes right through the floor to my death :D but it wasn't too frequent as to ruin enjoyment. <br/>Good stuff!
May 4 14:19:00	8m 00s	IAO	Woah this is tough, I can get to the square, but just barely. Would enjoy playing for longer than the time limit allowed. Good use of the theme. Fun stuff!
May 5 20:47:00	30h 28m	end	Cool stuff. Nice use of theme. A little slow waiting for moving blocks in a few stages that seemed to be taking ages, but eh, minor complaint. Way to go!
May 5 20:55:00	8m 00s	(R,G,B)	Not sure what is going on here, when I run it (win7) I see the intro sequence, and then I just have a yellow screen with some black blurs along the edge of the screen. Moving around (I think I'm moving anyway, I hear bounces) just blurs things more. I had a quick look at the youtube clip and its obviously not meant to do this :(
May 5 21:05:00	10m 00s	U	Good use of theme, good challenge, a little short. Really liked the death particles =D Good job!
May 5 21:32:00	27m 00s	Curiosity	Nice game, had fun exploring the world. The first little "jump over reds using grappler" was a bit tough for an introduction I thought. I can see how to get the final flower, but the jumps would be too difficult to get it so I'm just settling for no cookies :(
May 5 21:43:00	11m 00s	Escape the Minimalism	I like the use of theme, was pretty fun and challenging!
May 6 22:32:00	24h 49m	Sky Tea	Was having fun, but lack of checkpoints began to frustrate me in a large level I got to, as I was just doing the start area over and over. I also fell through the floor at one point, and that didn't help :P (maybe I accidentally pressed down though, possibly). Cute graphics, love the music.
May 6 22:45:00	13m 00s	Dock Zone	I'm glad this game doesn't have lives, because the drowning animation was really fun :P <br/>The game looped to level one when it was done, I assume it was finished anyway, but looking at comments I'm not sure this was supposed to happen. Fun game, some decent challenge, interesting mechanics, love the character sprites.
May 6 22:54:00	9m 00s	The Last Soul	Nice mood. Love the way the colours gradually change.
May 6 23:18:00	24m 00s	Minimalist Horror Story	Clicking on drawers and things is tricky. I can't get into the attic (I assume that is where the bats everyone mentions are) managed to get out anyway, with a potato :D Nice mood. I never actually encountered anything to "survive" against though, played through twice =/
May 6 23:29:00	11m 00s	P-MNMSAOD	Interesting idea for an attack mechanic, but like others pointed out you can just mash to win :D <br/>Enjoyed the visuals!
May 6 23:37:00	8m 00s	_race_	Good challenge, I like the one button controls, it does seem to become impossible at 165mph though =/ <br/>Also the high score seems to start at 135 on the first play through.
May 6 23:45:00	8m 00s	Prison Retreat	15 seconds :D! Was a little surprised that the other inmates could open doors, I'm the one with the key! <br/>Sadly very short :(
May 6 23:58:00	13m 00s	Waste Not Want Not	Wasn't sure what was going on here til I read the comments, and then played again, very interesting idea.
May 7 00:21:00	23m 00s	Ai'n Av Diortem	Jumping on enemies seems more effective than trying to shoot them :P <br/>Enjoyed what was present of this. The last room with the lighting made me really want to see more, would have been really good if you had had time to implement the thematic mechanics of losing upgrades :(
May 7 21:46:00	21h 25m	The One Road	Good job, completely linear RPG satirising the state of current games in the genre, maybe? %D <br/>Seriously, nice concept, great music. It's a little easy to get to a state where only the king demon things can hurt you (on hard mode, I was level 9 with the best armour and nothing could damage me except them and the boss).
May 7 22:03:00	17m 00s	The Boy Who Leapt Through Planets	I got the pacifist ending, then "some enemies" ending after that! Fun game. I didn't seem able to kill the huge red dude, though.
May 7 22:13:00	10m 00s	Onion Harvester	Good but short game. The moving platforms don't seem to work too well though, I had to hold the direction to move with them, and in the area where you have 4 moving platforms at one time, and no background reference images, it's a little hard to tell which way they are going/when to jump/etc =/ <br/>Nice soundtrack.
May 7 22:30:00	17m 00s	This is not a minimalist game	That was interesting. Loved building the world back together again slowly. Great stuff.
May 9 11:27:00	36h 57m	BLoX	Good game. I like the graphics that are simple, but the walls still show some depth. Never encountered an unbeatable level and there did seem to be a little variety (at least, I seemed to encounter levels that were just corridors and were more maze-like, and then more open levels) The enemies do seem to scale pretty quickly, making combat fairly suicidal when you can just use the laser thing. The only thing I found frustrating was when you respawn or enter a new area, it's not always obvious where you are. I died a couple of times just looking for my dude on the screen to find it was already being mobbed :(
May 9 11:39:00	12m 00s	TriNiTris (TNT)	Interesting idea, very hard, especially the last row, unless the block actually spawns on top of your column, I don't think you can move it in time, or if you can you'd have to be crazy fast. I like the way the text at the bottom tells you you're doing things wrong :P I think a "in X placements reds will disappear" counter would have helped a lot, or even just "in X placements a random colour will disappear" counter, so you know when it's happening, even reading the rules it was kind of "wait, why did that blow up?" kind of thing while playing.
May 9 11:46:00	7m 00s	Line Quest	Controls were a little confusing, but once I figured them out this was kind of fun. I really like the way you did the opening and ending cut scenes XP
May 9 12:29:00	43m 00s	The Coin Gatherer	I think this would have been a better experience with some of the "filler" type levels removed, some of the levels have some interesting mechanics as far as I played (I got as far as the moving walls one), but levels that are overly simple (like the one that is just coins, or that just require moving around without any difficulty) kind of get in the way of enjoying the challenging better levels. I like how the perspective changed, does it do more than platformer/top-down further in?
May 10 13:36:00	25h 07m	Fog	Great game. Love the feeling of watching the art appear once you beat a level and realising what you've been wandering through =D
May 10 14:01:00	25m 00s	Fractured	This is awesome! Love the cute graphics, the music, the puzzles are super hard but I somehow managed to beat it anyway. Good job.
May 10 14:10:00	9m 00s	MiniMario	Good job, it's pretty tough though, I didn't get super far :D
May 10 16:00:00	1h 50m	Budget Squad	56615! I think I was so close to the end but a laser got me :( <br/>Graphics are incredible, love the gameplay mechanic!
May 10 16:07:00	7m 00s	minobi	So glad you had checkpoints! fun game
May 10 16:32:00	25m 00s	Cube It	I got to level 14. Very tough! I like the energy mechanic. <br/>I would echo Oye Beto's suggestions of using the keyboard for the menus and respawning instantly, not having these things can get very frustrating in high difficulty games where you die a lot.
May 10 16:47:00	15m 00s	ShrunkenAdventures	Good job! I sometimes glitched through the walls, but it never happened in a way that killed me, so that wasn't too bad a problem :P
May 10 19:59:00	3h 12m	People	First few seconds of game: "Well aren't I popular!" *realises mechanic of game "awww no I'm not :(" <br/>Nice atmosphere, love the sounds "yay!"
May 11 21:07:00	25h 08m	Only One Shot	Very short, but good concept!
May 11 21:23:00	16m 00s	Bliss	First thing I did was try to get myself stuck on an island. I WIN! :D (can still move though somehow) <br/>Waves look really cool!
May 11 21:30:00	7m 00s	Tiny Runner	266! Good take on the theme, very challenging having to change colours! :D
May 11 21:37:00	7m 00s	the sunset	Enjoyable little peaceful game. I didn't find the potato, but I found the sunrise :D
May 11 21:47:00	10m 00s	Lumber Rumble	Good job, as others have said, difficulty should ramp up a bit, but the game has good mechanics. Fun stuff. Nice use of theme.
May 11 23:16:00	1h 29m	Poor Man's Tower Defense	Most original Tower Defence I've seen in a long time, but very very hard. The mirror doesn't seem to rotate how I'd expect, like around the centre? Good job, even if I suck horribly at it :)
May 12 11:00:00	11h 44m	100% Safe Download	Nice visuals and gameplay love the humorous idea. Great stuff! :D
May 12 11:50:00	50m 00s	Treasure!	Should probably have less health, it's pretty easy to just force your way to the treasure in the difficult parts, get all the treasure, and still win. If there had been more levels too that would have been awesome, and solved that exploit :)
May 12 13:04:00	1h 14m	Tower of Pixel	You can summon ladders!? finds this out after spending ages beating the game probably not the intended/proper ending though :P <br/>The auto dig is a bit annoying, I destroyed a lot of crucial tower components while digging.
May 12 13:15:00	11m 00s	Milton	Awesome idea! I love the two-stage gameplay. I ended with 13 torches left cos I was conservative as I didn't notice there was only 12 levels, should probably include that info in-game, like "level X of Y".
May 12 13:29:00	14m 00s	Placeholder Title	Reminds me of a time long ago :D <br/>Very fun exploring retro caves, probably a "X/Y shiny things collected" would help, I'm not sure if I got them all or not.
May 15 09:53:00	68h 24m	Earth Defender	I assume people who are saying this is too hard are thinking they have to stop every ship from getting past, once you realise there are only a small number of alien ships and they are looping it becomes a really challenging game of patience and picking the right moment to attack, and I think that works really well. The collision seems a bit sensitive, especially on the top of your ship it seemed. I managed to beat it on medium hard and potato :D Good job.
May 17 15:02:00	53h 09m	Princess Chardonnay in Bomb Kingdom	Really tough puzzles, I feel really proud I beat them all :P Great job on making one puzzle tool so diverse and challenging.
