Dec 19 22:00:00		Zombies... ON CHRISTMAS	Funny how we both had the same idea for this theme. I made a twin stick shooter myself and it's fun to compare yours to mine. <br/>Good job on the graphics and audio. I liked the overall feel of the game, and the execution. <br/>It was hard to fit this kinda game into a theme, so can't say too much about that. <br/> <br/>Other than that it was fun to play and to see it.
Dec 19 22:10:00	10m 00s	One Wish	What a lovely game. Took me a looooong time to get to 115 happiness, and still it just says "There's still more...". Is there a way to get another message? <br/> <br/>But I loved it, the graphics were awesome, the message is beautiful, the take on the theme is great. Great job you did there. <br/> <br/>Too sad it didn't have any audio or music.
Dec 19 22:17:00	7m 00s	Get One with Math	Gaah those controls are nasty. But the idea is nice. Although it's pretty tough from the third level on. I died more enough because of bumping into walls, but as i got the gist, i just couldn't figure out the solution to the numbers. <br/>Not a numbers guy here. But it was fun while it lasted, and the idea is nice. <br/>Would make a quite interesting android app i assume.
Dec 20 08:42:00	10h 25m	Golf Quest	This is an awesome and really interesting idea. But it is frustratingly difficult to play the game. Unfortunately, because it might be fun with a bit more polish and a bit more mechanics. <br/> <br/>I really like the idea. Also the graphics were pretty cool. It looks nice and immersive.
Dec 20 08:46:00	4m 00s	Duck Kid's Quest	Gosh that sound really got me. It was loud. <br/>The story is quite nice, but WHY DID IT HAVE TO END SO SOON? Like, you really got me going to play it, and then that was it? Naaaaaaaaah. <br/> <br/>I liked the graphics. Cool work on that. Also congratulations on your first working entry. You catch on the theme was nice and all, but it just ended too soooooon. <br/>Quite fun. Good work.
Dec 20 09:02:00	16m 00s	That one tiny Island	The heck I just played? I just built and built and built and all of a sudden it went KABOO-HOO-HOOOOM. <br/>Violent people you really meant literaly eh? <br/>I liked the sounds, music, and the overall idea pretty much. It was fun stacking the buildings and trying to lean them together so they don't fall and all. Had a pretty cool and tall building, but then the people just destroyed it. <br/> <br/>Good job. It was fun to play and freaked me out a bit.
Dec 20 10:41:00	1h 39m	You Only Get Won	I like this game a lot. It's like wario ware with a back story. But it is quite hard. <br/>The story is very nice and heartwarming. <br/>The graphics are awesome, the music is adorable. Also the sounds are great. <br/>Great job, it was really fun to play.
Dec 20 11:05:00	24m 00s	Hauptbaum	The game was okay. A little slow, a little strange, but you could go on and on. <br/>Hauptbaum is a great nam. Also the graphics were awesome. The music was fine, tho a little nerving. <br/> <br/>Good job.
Dec 20 12:05:00	1h 00m	Luminess	I love the graphics. Also the idea, though not new, is quite well done. <br/>Audio, sounds and music, is very nice and moody too. <br/>It was very gloomy and moody of an experience. I liked it.
Dec 21 07:35:00	19h 30m	One Life	Mh hard to say what I really think about that without sounding too harsh. <br/>First off, nice take on the story. My second attempt at the game really freaked me out a bit. <br/> <br/>That being said, it felt kinda displaced with the choices you had to make turning out to be futile regarding the end of the game. The last decision was tough, and I would have loved to see more coming out of it. As of now, you are not quite sure wether it was a right decision, wether you turn out to be happy with it or wether you maybe turn out to regret it. Could be much deeper. <br/> <br/>It could be a nice story, but somehow it just didn't get to me too much. I'm sorry to say that, I'd have loved it for the story to really get into me and make me think. I'd have loved for the story to shuffle up my day leaving me pondering about it all day long, and a few days after that, like a dream that just really gets into you. I guess the story has kind of potential for this to happen, but maybe it's just the short timeframe of the compo to not end up being that. <br/> <br/>So yeah, good take on the theme, overall a nice experience (don't worry, no bad points here), and special points for the potential it might have. If you wanna keep doing these storys, please please put everything into it that you can give, plus more. I want these storys to phase me out of my every day live.
Dec 21 07:43:00	8m 00s	Yogo and the almighty mat thieves	The controls felt a bit wonky, and it felt slower than it could have been. <br/>I love the visuals. It is a stunning effect, and somehow reminded me of "Don't starve". <br/>Also I liked the audio pretty much. <br/> <br/>The intro tho.. was toooooo long. I know, it's not nice to try to skip that, as it surely is effort on your side, but nobody reads those things. Especially when it turns out to not be relevant for the actual game. So sorry about that. <br/>Good job on the game tho. It was quite fun.
Dec 28 23:15:00	183h 32m	Fish Go Blub	Gaaah that stupid level 3. I gave up after like 50 tries. Few times i just died right in front of the last star. This is ridiculous. <br/>Though a nice job. The music is cute, the graphics are fine, the game feels okay, it's just soooo frustrating when you keep dying.
Dec 28 23:26:00	11m 00s	Unholy Dungeon	At first I couldn't figure out what to do. Then I read your text and got to it. It was weird as I didn't know what the buffs really meant. Also it was quite hard to steer and hit the monsters. I couldn't see enough how I aligned with the monsters, so I kept getting hit because of this weirdness. <br/> <br/>Otherwise, nice little game. The audio and music were quite nice.
Dec 28 23:31:00	5m 00s	Mumps: Fear of Contagion	The mood, the graphics and the audio were quite nice. <br/>The controls were really really really annoying. It was ridiculously annoying to move that thing. You bumped onto nothing at all (hitboxes are probably too big, as they probably are as large as the graphics themselves) and stopped. It was totally frustrating to play this game. <br/>Also the type of writing broke the immersion the game could have had from the graphics, audio and the overall setting alone. <br/> <br/>Good job though.
Dec 28 23:36:00	5m 00s	lights out	Uh very intriguing lighting thingy. The title screen already with the lighting was brilliant. So was the game. <br/>It was unfortunately too hard to figure out how to kill these leeches. I am in fact still not a hundred percent sure how I did it, and what the difference between the red and the blue ones was, but it was quite a nice experience. <br/>Pitty there was no audio at all, could have been a quite immersive little game. <br/>Good job though, I liked it a lot.
Dec 28 23:42:00	6m 00s	One Seed	Sad there isn't too much to rate here. The controls were weird, the guy was tough to handle, as he was waaaaay too fast. <br/>Then planting the seed and seeing that tree was quite satisfying. But then it left me frustrated. Wanted to do more. WAY more. I restarted it a couple of times to see it grow and grow in different places and into different shapes. Looks pretty nice. <br/>So nice graphics, nice idea... pity it didn't give more. Has potential.
Dec 29 21:53:00	22h 11m	Reactor Tank Defense	It was hard to see wether i really was hitting the enemies or not. It also was very confusing when a new wave started, as I was still in the middle of the last wave. <br/>So very confusing game. <br/>But I really liked the graphics. Also some of the audio was quite cool. Good work on that.
Dec 29 22:01:00	8m 00s	Birnallong	Minimalistic but really awesome. As soon as I figured out what acutally happened there, and what I have to look for, it really gave me a blast. First I retired as an author at 65 with 9.500, then I retired as a Lawyer at 31 with 2.950. <br/> <br/>I really liked it, kinda like a zen version of that old game called "Jones". Great job.
Dec 29 22:16:00	15m 00s	Dollar Master	What an addictive little game. But everytime I bought stuff it kept falling and NEVER rising back in value. <br/>All in all I hovered around 10-20 dollars, only once had around 300. <br/> <br/>I liked it alot. Could be kinda clearer in the interface, and more accessible, but all in all I liked it.
Dec 29 22:21:00	5m 00s	Mad One	The graphics and the audio were quite nice. The game could use more and better levels and kinda more mechanics. This was rather boring in level design. <br/>But good job on finishing something, and on the assets. They were really nice.
