Dec 16 05:33:00		Pointless Game!	Nice start! I also like the menu and with some more content this game could be fun. Maybe you find some time to make a post-compo version and realize all your ideas.
Dec 16 07:38:00	2h 05m	Flowing Death Fist	Nice concept! The game fits the theme very well, but I think the interpretation of the theme is too limiting for your game. More interactivity would be great and I would like to hear some variation in the sound effects.
Dec 16 10:19:00	2h 41m	The Last Cookie	A simple and fun to play game that fits the theme. I like the truly uniqe concept and the details you put in. There is room for more ;) But the contrast/separation between the different elements especially the font good be better. I think with your eye for the details, you will make great games in the future!
Dec 16 12:05:00	1h 46m	No Mistakes.	Nice graphics and a good idea. I miss some annoying printer sound effects and an easy mode :) Maybe an increase in numbers over time.
Dec 16 12:18:00	13m 00s	Only One Earth	Sadly I had no luck running your game successfully. IE won't run the game at all. In Chrome the game stops, when I press space and in Firefox the controls seem to do nothing. I will try your game later on a different system again, because it looks interesting.
Dec 16 12:31:00	13m 00s	Thrust Issues	Great fun to play game with an interesting concept that fits the theme very well. And I like the awesome style. The game is really hard though.
Dec 16 13:53:00	1h 22m	AAAAARGH!	Great game with a truly unique concept! It's fun to play this simple addictive but very hard game. Would be nice to have some control over the pilot after leaving the plane ;)
Dec 16 16:45:00	2h 52m	Buy the World	Very addicting game! I should have used this style for the trading in my game. I don't have any idea what you could have done better.
Dec 16 17:08:00	23m 00s	The Lonely Girl	Nice story with a somewhat short ending. But I needed some attempts to finish it, that's good ;) Some images or the already suggested animations would have been nice. Maybe you find some time to complete it.
Dec 16 19:25:00	2h 17m	Last Minute Christmas Chopping	I like the awesome graphics and the great atmosphere. Due to your interpretation of the theme the game is really short, multiple levels or stages would have been nice. Maybe santa has to chop wood around the world. But the only thing really missing for a christmas game is a christmas song.
Dec 16 19:39:00	14m 00s	Dinosaur Rush	I like the nice graphics, the great sound effects, especially the rawr, and the options in the game menu. Your game has everything that's needed, except a boss fight. Great game!
Dec 16 19:48:00	9m 00s	COR	I can't play your game, it's windows only :(
Dec 16 20:31:00	43m 00s	Speck	You made something very interesting, but sadly there is not much of a replay value. The calming atmosphere is great. I like the concept behind it and played both version, because I was curious what's different. I think the original version is better, but maybe it's only because I played it first.
Dec 16 21:13:00	42m 00s	Diner Devil!	I think this game would vastly benefit from a touch input. Idea and style of the game is good and I like the comments of the customers afterwards. Fitting sound effects would have been great, to enhance the atmosphere.
Dec 16 21:39:00	26m 00s	Assembly Man	The setting of the game looks like an old wild west town. Would be nice to see this scene filled with life. It took me a few attempts before I managed to shoot the target. I like especially the idea with the gun assembly. It's sad that the game isn't what you hoped to achieve.
Dec 16 21:53:00	14m 00s	Baldaquin2	Interesting graphics and sound effects! I don't like the controls, they make the game harder than necessary.
Dec 18 13:15:00	39h 22m	SUS: The Game (Brazilian hospital SIM)	Good game, I like especially the awesome pixel art. Some sound effects and a few animated patients would have been great.
Dec 18 13:49:00	34m 00s	Casual Friday	Good concept and great graphics. I would like to see some more variation in level design and different types of enemies. And more balanced options to choose from would be nice, e.g. I can't see why I should choose to run faster and jump less high.
Dec 18 14:39:00	50m 00s	30 ducks, 1 Stone!	Nice game, I like the idea. But it's a bit easy. I think it would have been great if the ducks would be mad at you after you disturbed the sea monster and then they try to attack you. So you have to defend yourself with the infinite stones.
Dec 18 14:57:00	18m 00s	Dolphin Rescue	Nice concept and good effects. I got only to level 4, because I was to often at the border of the screen and couldn't react fast enough to the sharks. It would be nice if there were more than one sailor to rescue on screen, so you don't have to wait until they reach the safer center.
Dec 18 15:24:00	27m 00s	Treasure Box Box	Great idea and I really enjoyed "playing" your game. It was very inspirational to me. I think the already suggested sharing of content, e.g. user generated levels or a collaboration platform is a good idea.
Dec 18 22:24:00	7h 00m	Distracted Detective	Great game, I like the nice graphics and the music. Changing clues and suspects would have been nice, to increase the replay value. And maybe some animations to bring some life in the scenes.
Dec 19 10:16:00	11h 52m	Alone/Awake	Interesting concept and use of twine. I think the graphics/animations are fitting too. Sadly it's a bit short and there are not many choices to make. It's easy to play all variations, though :)
Dec 19 11:26:00	1h 10m	Loop Desert	Great game with great graphics and audio! I like that it looks so simple and than you need a few attempts to figure out how the game works and the puzzle is solved.
Dec 19 11:37:00	11m 00s	You Only Get One DIMENSION	Interesting simple idea. But it takes some time to realise how it works.
Dec 19 12:05:00	28m 00s	Uno Terra	I like the game. At first it seems a bit complicated, because of the many "basic" controls you have to remember. But I think the Familiarize mode made it easy. The game itself is hard though. There are too many aliens and asteroids attacking in the beginning.
Dec 19 12:36:00	31m 00s	Hasty Santa	Great idea and nice graphics. But a more winterly/snow-covered landscape would have been nice. The game is a bit hard, maybe direct keyboard control without the waypoints would work better.
Dec 19 13:02:00	26m 00s	The One Time Dungeon	Good idea and fun to play, but only for a few minutes. I think with something to pick up, treasure chests and maybe doors the game would have been much more fun. At the first start I died at the title screen, I didn't like that :)
Dec 19 13:15:00	13m 00s	Static Room	Nice simple game. I like the concept. The enemies make it a bit hard though. Maybe some variation could make it easier, e.g. with some static guns or lasers instead all the moveable enemies.
Dec 19 13:46:00	31m 00s	Fly Treegator	Really fun to play game with nice graphics. It looks simple, but is hard to master. Treegators may have to eat only once, but sadly it seems this one time lasts to their death.
Dec 19 14:58:00	1h 12m	Tropic Warrior	Awesome art and great audio, a great game! Only the controls are frustrating to me.
Dec 19 17:42:00	2h 44m	Agent One	Awesome looking game. There is only one thing I don't like about the game and that's the control mechanism. Maybe a restriction to keyboard only would help, like in the old 2d games.
Dec 22 10:47:00	65h 05m	Molten Progeny	Great game! I like the graphics and the audio a lot. But it's a bit hard to control on a notebook without a mouse.
Dec 22 11:47:00	1h 00m	Natural Sheep Care	Overall a great game, only some background animations are missing. It took me three attempts to finish it. At first it seemed hard, but it gets really easy over time.
Dec 22 17:41:00	5h 54m	TITAN SOULS	An overall great game! I tried to beat it, but failed. It seems you had planed for more, because the world looks so empty at the moment. The collision detection seems to be not 100%, I played the web version and could walk into a wall at one time. And the controls (x,z) aren't much fun for non qwerty-keyboards.
Dec 22 17:53:00	12m 00s	YOGO Cookie	Nice atmospheric game with a good concept. Sadly it's not possible to jump right back in after getting caught. And it's not completely clear to me when the mother will catch me. One time I was in the kitchen without a cookie and she ignored me, the next time not.
Dec 22 18:17:00	24m 00s	Shine	Overall a great game! Very polished and good level design. But I couldn't get past the moving wall with spikes.
Dec 22 18:42:00	25m 00s	Crew: A Futuristic Detective Game	Really good game, I like it very much. Dialogues could be longer and with some choices. Sadly it's a bit easy at the moment, with a few clicks is the murder solved, but maybe it was pure luck. I think it's definitely worth to work further on your game.
Dec 22 18:54:00	12m 00s	Who ate all the pies ???	There is only one thing I don't like about the game, it's the one minute time limit. Otherwise it's one of the best games I played so far. Especially the audio is incredible.
Dec 22 19:07:00	13m 00s	The Last Seconds Of Earth	Nice atmosphere build by good looking graphics and nice audio. I found the switches, but are not sure what they do. Maybe you find some time to complete the game, it's definitely a great start.
Dec 22 19:23:00	16m 00s	faif	Great game, but the post compo version with sound is much more fun. I like the unique concept and the dump AI :)
Dec 23 11:36:00	16h 13m	Drain	Visually interesting game. Sadly I have not much fun playing it with a touchpad. Also someone mentioned audio, but for me there is non. (OSX)
Dec 23 11:56:00	20m 00s	Shatter	Nice background music. Some sound effects e.g. for firing the bullet would have been nice. But I don't like the zoomed in perspective, it's not much room for reaction when a infected is coming towards you. And sometime it's hard to find the bullet.
Dec 23 13:07:00	1h 11m	1 year in space	Interesting game. The music in combination with the space battles creates an atmosphere like in 2001 space odyssey. But I don't like that my screen resolution isn't supported and that you crammed that many planets in a small space. It's a great start and I think it's worth to work further on the game.
Dec 23 13:30:00	23m 00s	1-2-3-Ban	Awesome puzzle game, a bit like atomix. It took me a few minutes to solve all the puzzles, I had a great time. With enhanced graphics and more levels this would be really great!
Dec 23 13:49:00	19m 00s	Acorn Hunter 5000	Overall nice game. The everything with faces and next gen eye acorn following behavior are great features and improve the mood a lot. But why are the acorns happy to see the squirrel? I think the fire spreads a bit too sudden, some warning would be great. And I would like to see that the fire affects the trees as well. Maybe the squirrel could have the ability to extinguish fire and save the trees and the acorns.
Dec 24 21:52:00	32h 03m	Tiny Thor	Great game! I like the graphics, audio and the gameplay very much. Some more levels would have been nice.
Dec 24 22:15:00	23m 00s	Jameson The Pilot	Very polished game. It's fun to play and good looking. Only with the stars seems something wrong. When the ship is moved, the stars pile up on the border of the screen.
Dec 24 22:24:00	9m 00s	TankoKitty	Nice game with an interesting gameplay. More levels with varying objectives would be nice.
Dec 25 16:30:00	18h 06m	Nero Is Falling	Awesome game, I like everything about it. My second attempt was successful and I survived. Some more animations inside the ship would have been nice.
Dec 25 16:46:00	16m 00s	Touch	The game creates an incredible atmosphere, very calming.
Dec 25 17:06:00	20m 00s	Castle Uno	Really nice game! I like the audio and the graphics very much. But the level design could be a bit better and there is no graphic for the promised coin at the end, that's sad. Oh and the distance between the individual letters seems sometimes a bit large ;)
Dec 25 17:22:00	16m 00s	YOGO RocketFist	Overall great game, looks very polished! Graphics, audio and the created atmosphere are incredible. Only the difficulty is rising too sudden. The first few levels are too easy, I think.
Dec 25 17:34:00	12m 00s	One Arrow	Overall an awesome game! I like the beautiful graphics and nice audio.
Dec 26 23:10:00	29h 36m	Creator Story Saga Tycoon	Nice game with great audio. I like the simple and unique game concept. Would be nice if there were less waiting involved, it took me some time to create the last kind of creature. And I was disappointed that iddqd didn't do anything.
Dec 26 23:21:00	11m 00s	FowL Play	Good game with nice graphics and atmosphere. But I think it's a bit hard to control the game.
Dec 27 11:45:00	12h 24m	a Pantless Man with a Clueless Plan	Great graphics and audio! I like your entry very much. This could be an awesome game, it only needs more content.
Dec 27 12:00:00	15m 00s	A Girl & Her Cat	I think you have every reason to be proud of your work. You did a great job! It's already fun to play. Only some levels are missing, then you have an awesome game.
Dec 27 12:40:00	40m 00s	The Last Rock	I like the nice graphics, audio and the game concept. I don't like the controls (only fun to use on qwerty-keyboards), level design, length of the game and that the "stone" is deadly to the enemies even lying on the ground. But nonetheless overall a good entry.
Dec 27 13:10:00	30m 00s	Destroy The Core	Great game with an awesome atmosphere, but really hard. Especially with mouse clicking, moving + keyboard controls. The post-compo version is much better, I like the intro skipping very much.
Dec 27 14:00:00	50m 00s	A Thing	I think you had a good idea, but as you already mentioned this would work better with more players. In my opinion the biggest problem about your game at the moment is, that it's not clear how to play it, at least I don't understand. There is not enough time to figure it out., so more time would be great. But a tutorial or a test mode independent of the "you can only play once" limitation would be helpful. And you should rate other games to increase the amount of players coming to your entry.
Dec 27 16:17:00	2h 17m	The Last Ace	Great control mechanism! I also like the graphics. But the game is too easy at the moment. Some variation and multiple shorter levels would be nice, I think. And of course the missing audio :)
Dec 27 16:26:00	9m 00s	A Weird Love Game	Nice idea, but the other one sounds good too. I think there are some things missing. There seems to be no way to win it and there is no audio. And maybe multiple levels.
Dec 27 16:53:00	27m 00s	A World Without Stars	Nicely told story and a good idea. But I have the feeling that there should be more alternatives to choose from. Is it not possible to open the other hibernation pod? Or use the oxygen supply of the escape pod for the whole ship?
Dec 27 20:10:00	3h 17m	Airlock One	Interesting idea and a fun to play game. I think I had luck and successfully made an airtight space station at the first attempt. Maybe the game would better work, if the player isn't able to choose a part, but has to place the given part before receiving the next one (like in tetris).
Dec 27 20:25:00	15m 00s	GetYouSoulBack	Nice atmosphere and interesting concept. Sadly the graphic is too strenuous for my eyes. And in level 3 I got stuck between two rocks.
Dec 28 10:53:00	14h 28m	Tall Grass	A really great game! I like the graphics, the audio and the puzzles and had much fun playing it. The progression of the difficulty is quite nice, except for the last level. It took me some time to solve all the puzzles, the second last was the hardest. The last one was much easier, because the enemies were blocked by the object you move. Maybe it would be better, if the enemies could pass through that object. It definitely would increase the difficulty ;)
Dec 28 14:19:00	3h 26m	Luminess	Nice particle effects and audio. It was fun to play the game, but it's a bit hard to control the ship with a touchpad. And I think the game is missing something. There is no increase in difficulty only in length. Maybe enemy ships would help or some puzzle elements. Oh and I liked the extra level at the end.
Dec 28 19:02:00	4h 43m	Red and Gold	I like the idea very much. But I think the game would really profit from a different kind of presentation (some graphics), because there is not much variation in the text and the given options. In the current form maybe shorter days would work better. But you had planed more, so maybe you find some time to incorporate your other ideas.
Dec 28 19:17:00	15m 00s	Gino	Great entry, I like the unique concept. It's a bit hard though. The collision boxes seem really big, so I died often ;) I tried for a while, but couldn't make it to the end.
Dec 28 19:25:00	8m 00s	1 Shot	Nice first entry, I like the simple idea. A highscore list and more levels would be nice, maybe even with some obstacles.
Dec 29 11:41:00	16h 16m	Carry the one	Unique concept and I really liked the animation at the end. Maybe you should put more such animations in your game. There are two things I don't like. The character movement is too slow, even in the post compo version. And the level design, the difficulty is raised too sudden. But overall a nice entry, with some additional work this could be a great game.
Dec 29 12:32:00	51m 00s	One Gunman	Good audio, graphics and an unique idea. I like the changing wanted list, it adds much to the game. Overall a good job!
Dec 29 12:40:00	8m 00s	You Only Get One	Interesting idea. I like the character animation and the sound effects. More levels would be nice to enjoy the game.
Dec 30 20:04:00	31h 24m	Moments of Paranoia	Great graphics and atmosphere. The character animation seems a bit odd, but I don't know how suffocating people look like. One thing I miss in the game, is the motivation to shot one of the others. Is it possible to kill the shapeshifter with the bullet? I think the situation wouldn't be so calm. Maybe one of the colleagues would attack the player or maybe both, because who wants to die? It seems illogical to me that all three wait to get killed.
Dec 31 10:16:00	14h 12m	Bacterias	Awesome puzzle platformer! Graphics and audio are great. I liked the puzzles, but would have preferred to have less bacteria to control, maybe 3 per level. And maybe some sound effects for moving/jumping would be nice. Physics is sometimes not working as intended, I could push the never jumping bacteria on to a higher platform.
Dec 31 10:46:00	30m 00s	SUMMONING ONE	Great game! I like the graphics and the gameplay. But it takes some time to understand the complex skill system. I played the web version and had two problems with the game. The text looks different to the screenshots provided by you. The letters are a bit bolder and less space between them, so sometimes the text is really hard to read. The second problem is the recognition of the z key. It takes several key presses to switch to the next screen.
Jan 1 00:07:00	13h 21m	Pete, The Petard	Great game with good graphics and audio. I enjoyed playing it very much. But I think the progression of the difficulty could be better. It seems the first 3 levels are really easy, then there are some levels with much higher difficulty and the last levels are easy again. But overall a very polished looking game and more levels would be nice.
Jan 1 00:19:00	12m 00s	Ricochet	Good idea to combine asteroids with the theme, it fits well. I think one thing that could be improved, is the spawning. The enemies should always a bit away from the player, to prevent instant death.
Jan 1 00:28:00	9m 00s	Number Factory	Nice concept, I think it would be fun to play. Maybe you find some time to finish it.
Jan 1 10:43:00	10h 15m	You Only Get One Limb	Great game! I like the awesome graphics and the interesting and enjoyable gameplay. It takes a while to figure out how to control the character, but sadly afterwards it's still hard to control. I think with audio this would be a possible winner.
Jan 1 18:29:00	7h 46m	You only get one... Potato Peeler!	Interesting game. I like the unusual idea, the audio and the humor, especially at the beginning. It would be nice to see how many potatoes are already peeled and a timer to know how much time is left. At the moment it's hard to know if I get better or not. Also you could count the days the player is successfully working as a professional potato peeler.
Jan 1 18:48:00	19m 00s	.one.	Interesting game concept. It took me a while to figure out how to play and managed to get to level 5, but I'm not entirely sure if I do everything the right way. So I think your game would really benefit from a tutorial.
Jan 1 21:02:00	2h 14m	The Turmeric Jam Jar's Only Game.	Game with great atmosphere and unusual graphics. The audio is great too. I tried the original version, but got frustrated by the often not responding controls. So I switched to the post compo version and which works really great. I found all the parts, but some things are still unclear to me. One thing might even be a bug. Is the teapot supposed to fall from the platform? I had an object with me and could push the teapot with it.
Jan 1 21:20:00	18m 00s	Running Low	I like the game concept very much. The game is pretty hard though. My highscore is 316. It seems to be mostly luck, because it's not foreseeable were the next spawned robots will go. Maybe a bigger area would help or the robots could be spawned always in the same position with every new try. And I would like to have some audio. I played the web version with safari, because chrome wouldn't allow me to play it.
Jan 4 11:35:00	62h 15m	0RBITALIS	Nice game, I enjoyed playing it. It took me some time to beat all the levels, but in the end it seems there is not really a progression in difficulty. The graphics are awesome, except the jagged font. And I didn't like the waiting between failed attempts. But nevertheless it's an addictive game.
Jan 4 12:06:00	31m 00s	To That Sect	Simple and easy to solve game. I'm surprised, that a generated game has only one level, because I would think it must be easy to add more. I think the game itself would be more interesting, if you had to collect a specific number of ships before you can leave the level. <br/> <br/>Of course, the really fascinating thing about your entry is the game generation part. I wonder what's the goal behind it. Is it to create really fast a large number of games? Is it to improve games? Or is the game creation process only an example area for the development of a creative ai? Very interesting area of research.
Jan 4 12:48:00	42m 00s	Wilhelm's Escape	Awesome game. It looks and feels complete. The only thing I miss, is a way to escape. I tried every combination I can think of, but had no luck, so I must have overlooked something or there is no way to get out alive.
Jan 4 15:46:00	2h 58m	Beachwood City	I like the graphics, the animation and the fight system. Sadly there is no sound and the game is a bit short. It would be nice to see when you have picked something up. Because I was in the science building but didn't get the needed part the first time. I realized this only when I were back at the garage and received the same quest again to go to the science building. And maybe some signs to let the player know which building is in front of them, at first I thought the science building is some kind of power plant. Nonetheless it's a great start and with some work this game could be really good.
Jan 4 16:07:00	21m 00s	Death From Above	Nice and simple game. Sadly it's very short and mainly an one button game (space), because it's not really necessary to move. It would be nice, if the mercenaries would shoot back, so that the player is motivated to move and to make the game a bit more challenging. Or maybe you can only shoot straight down, so again the player needs to move. Another idea would be to lose the movement altogether and use the keys to control the direction in which the arrow is shot, but this seems much harder to me.
Jan 4 16:44:00	37m 00s	Beaver's Last Log	I really like the story and the cute graphics of your awesome game. Some problems I found while playing it: The comic doesn't cover the complete screen for me and it would be nice if a click or a press of a key would be needed to move on. I couldn't completely enjoy the comic, because the pages went by too fast. And I could move the character while the comic was shown. Sometimes the scene on the screen is jumping a bit. I think inside the cabin the camera is a too close to the beaver, so it looks rather cramped. After getting out of the cabin, the log was back on it's starting place, so I had at least two logs and that doesn't fit the theme at all :) <br/> <br/>I really enjoyed playing it and I hope you find some time to make a much longer game with the beaver, it will be worth it!
Jan 4 17:07:00	23m 00s	Below Zero	I don't no why, but it's a very scary game. The missing audio is enhancing this feeling even more.
Jan 4 17:43:00	36m 00s	Berathen Jam	Good collection of mini games. I think I figured out how to play each, but got only to 35. One thing I don't like is, that not only the game type is repeated, but the level design is only slightly altered sometimes. It would be nice, if the levels were randomly generated. And some sound effects would be nice.
Jan 4 18:01:00	18m 00s	Bermuda	Great graphics, audio and an interesting idea. Sadly if the short game is solved, there is no value in replaying it. So I would like to see different possible endings, more and more useful hints and more time to decide.
Jan 4 18:28:00	27m 00s	Beep Boop. Where will it go?	Great atmosphere, audio and concept. I enjoyed playing it and managed to get to level 13, but I didn't like that some puzzles in the beginning have the same solution. I wonder if it's possible to come up with good puzzles at a smaller level size, because the levels seem a bit big to me. Overall a good game.
Jan 4 18:40:00	12m 00s	Bieb-Ar and the Chamber of Eternity	I like the graphics, the audio and the idea with the cheat codes. But couldn't figure out invincibility. The game is pretty challenging I think, but maybe I missed something. After several deaths I gave up.
Jan 4 20:28:00	1h 48m	Birnallong	Interesting game concept. But I think I don't fully understand the game. At least I'm not really sure what the goal is. Make a high score or reach the 1000 as fast as possible and retire or something else?
Jan 5 12:54:00	16h 26m	BL1ND	Interesting game concept. I like the idea, but it's very hard to image the objects in your head. The free run mode was very helpful to understand how things work. So it was no problem to win the hide & seek level. Would be interesting to have more levels, to see how hard the game can get.
Jan 5 13:06:00	12m 00s	You Only Get One Gift (for christmas)	Nice first entry, I like the game very much. Sometimes the doors are a bit hard to see, because of the similarity to the floor. Some music would have been nice. But overall a nice game.

It's pure luck to have the right sword near you or a clear path. Maybe slower enemies would decrease the difficulty enough, or only one kind of sword you have to get to defeat every enemy. Or I would like to see that with every start the levels are identical, so you would be able to learn the layout and improve over time.

And some sound effects for jumping and collecting of things would have been nice. One thing I didn't like is the required screen size, I have only 768 pixel, so I had to change the css to enjoy your game. I hope you will work further on the game, because it's really good.

It's challenging to save as many people as possible, but it's not too hard to win. So I can't understand why people would quit after a few seconds without trying again. But I noticed a similar behavior with my game, many people played less than 10 seconds. Another thing I have to agree with your analysis: The space on the right hand side of the level seems wasted indeed. Maybe you should work with multiple zones/a grid and activate the movement of people and zombies only when the player enters the zone.
