| Aug 26 16:00:00 | 0.1 Hertz | Pretty good. I have to agree that the mechanics don't really get used to their full potential. | |
| Aug 26 16:17:00 | 17m 00s | Professor Power and Powerbot | Cute little twitch platformer. It was kind of thrilling even. I thought the challenge level was just right. I also died about 50 times on the last level. |
| Aug 26 16:34:00 | 17m 00s | Grid Ten | I found the gameplay really hard to get a handle on at first. (One issue is that the instructions for what keys to use for each object are currently wrong.) The mechanics is not very intuitive, and a tutorial would do great here. But once I got into it, it was kind of a fun little tower defense. I got to around 300 points. It was helpful that I spawned so close to the edge. I think it would have been much harder in the center. |
| Aug 26 22:43:00 | 6h 09m | SWEAT | These puzzles are really well designed. Whatever technique you used turned out quality results. I beat them all but I had to bust out the pen and paper a couple of times. I don't know how to recognize that in your ratings, so I'm putting it in Innovation. Other than that the game lacked a bit of polish, but it was quite playble. |
| Aug 26 23:47:00 | 1h 04m | Oxy | Great job! The controls are so responsive, I didn't feel like I was fighting them at all. I brought Dave all the way to the last chamber and I was so low on oxygen at that point I knew it was me or him, so I had to cut him loose. It was tough. 5 stars on Mood from me. A checkpoint or two would have been really nice. Having to redo the whole thing was a bit of a chore. |
| Aug 27 00:17:00 | 30m 00s | Keep Up | The first 10 seconds is fun but I don't know how it's supposed to be even close to possible with 2 balls! :/ |
| Aug 27 22:13:00 | 21h 56m | Little Peeps | Cool concept but really complicated. It would have done well with a couple trivial levels as a tutorial. I'm stuck on level 2. I don't start with any green peeps and I see no way to get them. What gives? |
| Aug 29 03:14:00 | 29h 01m | John Q. Adamant | plz nerf Smith Thompson and Andrew Jackson. Seriously, awesome story, and it's really admirable that you have 10 different characters programmed. I think there could have been a bit more variety, eg in their speed and health. Maybe even an underpowered one that regains health or something. And different levels where their different strengths come into play would be awesome. |
| Aug 29 20:52:00 | 17h 38m | Groceries Madness | Pretty well executed. It was definitely worth sticking with it for the first couple levels. Once you get a feel for where all the items are, it really picks up. I got really frustrated when I would successfully get 8 items and then get stuck on the corner just in front of the cash register, unable to move either forward or back. I know that's part of the challenge, but geez. |
| Aug 29 22:16:00 | 1h 24m | Picto-Tel | Great idea but it seems kind of buggy to me. I pick to continue a game and it says there are none available. I look at the list of completed games and there are dozens with only 1 or 2 turns completed. I can start New Games but that's not very fun. I'm going to hold off on rating. |
| Aug 29 22:56:00 | 40m 00s | Sequor | Followers is a perfectly reasonable interpretation of "seconds". I hate that people think this is a poor use of theme just because you did something different. Way to discourage innovation, guys! I'm giving 5 stars in innovation and theme to try to counterbalance that. The gameplay definitely a bit different than I was expecting, but kind of cool. There wasn't that much strategy when it came to deciding which followers to focus on. |
| Aug 29 23:46:00 | 50m 00s | Rebound Recon | This is a really great idea. The interface can be a little difficult, but overall it's pretty well executed. I made it as far as the first Lv.13. There is a trial-and-error feel to it, but you still have to think and think hard to even guess what's a plausible move in a lot of situations. Well done! |
| Aug 31 18:41:00 | 42h 55m | Microbes | Cool. The gameplay is pretty familiar and there's not a lot of variety, but the challenge level and pacing are spot on, so I wanted to replay it a few times. My best score is 133. I thought the music and graphics set a nice creepy mood, and I thought the names that pop up when you press Tab are pretty funny. My main suggestion would be to make it clearer whether I actually eat another microbe. |
