Dec 17 01:29:00		Dolphin Rescue	Well executed. Played great. Loved the blood splat when some hapless diver was in the wrong place. The sound made me chuckle. Well done. <br/> <br/>The way the screen blacks out as I'm running out of air was a great cue and added some nice tension to the game as well.
Dec 17 01:32:00	3m 00s	One Match	Nice music. It was surprisingly challenging to dodge stuff with a mouse. I think there might be an interested mechanic there but as implemented in this game it was pretty dull. <br/> <br/>Good job. Way to enter and complete something. Go further and deeper next year!
Dec 17 01:41:00	9m 00s	siamese	Wonderful! My favorite so far. Here's why: <br/> <br/>* Music and graphics worked together to create a mood that I thought was perfect. <br/>* Controls were quirky but fair and played perfectly with the mechanic of walls causing you damage. <br/>* I was expecting to just smack my "other half" and be done with it but ended up needing to dance for a while. Made me chuckle. <br/> <br/>Wish I could have played more creative / moody things from the same mind that brought me this first "level" <br/> <br/>Technical quibble: <br/>* Wish i could restart without refreshing
Dec 17 01:47:00	6m 00s	Matchbox	Yesssssss! Felt great to break out DOSBox. Wish I still had a proper old school box and CGA monitor around to experience the full glory. Wonderfully executed. Laughed at the end... I assume that was the end.... hm... <br/> <br/>Music was wonderful (and contextual!) <br/> <br/>Graphics were evocative and brought back great memories.
Dec 17 02:15:00	28m 00s	No Way Out	You took one of my favorite things about adventure games (time to think and consider my environment while relaxing) and totally through it out the window. The result? 5 stars for mood!
Dec 17 02:30:00	15m 00s	Public Mischief Performance	Definitely unique. The judges are amazing. <br/> <br/>Insane, frustrating, darn nuts... and it kept me trying and trying and trying (and failing) because I wanted to know how I'd be insulted by the judges or the game next. Well done!
Dec 17 02:43:00	13m 00s	Superly Major Questing Adventure Fun Times	Wonderful! Love the intro "story" and the use of the theme as a mechanic. Very nicely done and enjoyable. <br/> <br/>The game crashed on me when I took the north path at the first cross (after I had gone east and ran back screaming "oho noes!")
Dec 17 02:50:00	7m 00s	Single-Shot Space Hero: Adventures Through Time and Space; Encounters With The Green Worms of the Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt Planetoid Quaoar	Nice graphics. I'm guessing the intent is a bullet-hell evasion game? I wasn't very successful at it but hiding in the corner seemed to be an effective strategy. <br/> <br/>If that's the intent then the game feels pretty unfair and hopeless unless there's some way to buff or protect my player other than dodging things that almost oneshot me and appear and shoot very quickly.
Dec 17 02:56:00	6m 00s	One Button Computer	Haha. Love the style and interaction. Very amusing.
Dec 17 03:06:00	10m 00s	One shot	Very impressed. I don't know how much of this is Renpy and how much is you but I love the way you build a plan for interactions and then commit them. <br/> <br/>Music, graphics, writing: all superb.
Dec 17 03:16:00	10m 00s	SCUMBAG	Appropriately dark. Well done. <br/> <br/>The music was neat from a technical perspective but got irritating in time. My ear is always searching for a pattern so its absence is disturbing... though I guess that fits the theme of the game. <br/> <br/>Had 4 bad endings and 1 extra bad ending. Guess I'm a scumbag!
Dec 17 03:21:00	5m 00s	Tetris Jump	So frustrating! Very unclear interactions. Controls are unintuitive. <br/> <br/>Huge points for graphics and sound (though your legal situation might be sticky).
Dec 17 03:31:00	10m 00s	Wilhelm's Escape	Very impressive work! The audio, graphics, writing, and mood were all superb. I died and died and died and laughed each time I found a new way to die. Frustration never felt so good.
Dec 17 21:20:00	17h 49m	You (Must) Only Get ONE	982! That's good, right? <br/> <br/>Fun game. My favorite of the mini games was the cats in the house. That's what I ultimately lost on. The animation there was part of the challenge whereas it was just polish on the other puzzles.
Dec 18 03:16:00	5h 56m	Hamlet	Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. Art, animation, mechanics... really loved it. <br/> <br/>I wouldn't have stood a chance without your walkthrough but it combined well with the on stage cues that other characters were giving me. I see how this could have stood alone. <br/> <br/>At a more meta level: I really like this interaction concept. Really owns the idea that the player is playing the authors story in a way that most games try to hide.
Dec 18 03:22:00	6m 00s	Burnt Out	Lots of points for graphics and audio (though my heartbeat did sound like a geiger counter). The art was really pretty great and you did a good job of establishing the mood. <br/> <br/>Not sure how this relates to the theme and I didn't think collecting goodies in the dark (or with finite timed light) ended up being much fun. There wasn't really a sense of progress.
Dec 18 03:31:00	9m 00s	Mama is Sick	Serious and well executed. Lots of stars.
Dec 19 02:50:00	23h 19m	Creator Story Saga Tycoon	Wow. Wow.... Wow. This is total brain dope. :) It's still running and I'm eagerly awaiting my opportunity to get a ... red blob thing so I can get $14 per arbitrary time unit.... I've been totally skinner boxed and my brain likes it. <br/> <br/>Great music, sound, graphics. Disturbingly effective psychology... makes me feel rather like a primate.
Dec 19 02:56:00	6m 00s	Save Zoe	Very emotionally effective setting/theming. Good use of the the theme word also. Music and graphics were wonderful. I felt genuinely sad when Zoe was killed. I'd stop and kneel and just wish she'd come back. Very emotive and well done. <br/> <br/>I thought the level design (or perhaps generation) was pretty dull. It didn't really add or take away anything from the game so I'll call it more of a missed opportunity than a wart.
Dec 19 03:28:00	32m 00s	ACCELERally	Loved the line-art style. The physics were great and it was fun to watch my truck fly around helplessly. In the end, I didn't feel like I really had much agency and I felt like the random number generator was really in control of the game. But, I still certainly had fun.
