Apr 28 04:45:00		Revenge of the Kraken	Nice game, I like the idea and it's fun to play with the Kraken. The only thing that needs improvement are the controls, movement of the tentacles seems sometimes too slow. Would be nice if the destroyed ships were dropping small amounts of food or something else to restore health over time.
Apr 28 15:37:00	10h 52m	Under the Sea	Good game! The time you invested in graphics and sound effects has paid off. I managed to get 2437 points with the web version. While playing I noticed two bugs. One time a jellyfish swam out of the water into the air and vanished at the top of the screen. The second bug occurred after using the retry button. Once mated, the jellyfish no longer move and can't be used to mate or fight with other jellyfish. After reloading the page the bug is gone, until starting a new round with the retry button again.
Apr 28 16:07:00	30m 00s	Crugrock	Interesting concept, but I am unsure what to do after destroying the reactor. And I miss an indication when I can use the dash function on the right mouse button, it seems there is a 8 second reload phase.
Apr 28 16:23:00	16m 00s	Fragment	Nice entry with great mood, a longer version would be nice. But what happened to the other game you started?
Apr 28 16:42:00	19m 00s	Unminor	Good idea, that fits the theme very well. The game easily manages to build up tension. Three things I would like to see in an improved version: Collision detection that is more forgiving, improved graphics and an in-game tutorial instead of the text screen in the beginning.
Apr 28 17:08:00	26m 00s	Super Miner 2000	Nice game with good progression in difficulty. It could be a bit faster though. The collision detection seems to have problems with fast moving objects. If an object moves too fast, it will be on the other side of another object in one update step, so no collision is detected. You need more and smaller update steps or slower moving objects to prevent this. And I had a problem with my small screen resolution, because the up-key scrolls the game page.
Apr 28 17:30:00	22m 00s	Layers	I made it through! I like the great idea and the unique graphics. In the last level I found a mistake, the theme was beneath the surface and not under the surface. But I am sure you made this intentionally to test if someone will play it to the end :) More and harder levels would be great.
Apr 28 18:47:00	1h 17m	Dwarves Manager, NES Game	Good start, I like the idea and the use of technology.
Apr 28 19:04:00	17m 00s	Truth	Great concept! Only the dimensions of the hallways don't fit the story I think. The hallways should be longer and sometimes higher/wider to truly trigger the described feelings.
Apr 28 19:16:00	12m 00s	Flooded Mines	It took me some tries to understand the mechanics of the game, but then it was fun. The game fits the theme well and I think if there is no enemy required then it's good to leave them out.
Apr 29 16:52:00	21h 36m	Atomicle - LostAutumn.net	Your game is great, I like it very much. The idea with the atom is good too, but is quickly forgotten while playing this addictive game. I played a similar one a few years ago, but the mechanics are still great. Simple games are the best.
Apr 29 17:14:00	22m 00s	Temple of Ra	Quite good for a game made in 48 hours, it looks and feels very polished. I wonder how you made the sound effects, because the sound familiar. More levels would be nice, work your way up to the surface.
Apr 29 17:27:00	13m 00s	Dream of Depth	Nice game with great graphics. I made it to the end, but wasn't always sure what to do next. With some more work this could be really great.
Apr 29 17:42:00	15m 00s	Space Driller	Really great! Sadly I had two problems with it. The first time I played, the game was somehow zoomed in, so only a part of the screen was visible. And then I got stuck in a wall after drilling and using the passage. I was followed by an enemy, maybe this has something to do with it.
Apr 30 19:41:00	25h 59m	Dig for Unobtanium	Nice game, took me a while to found the unobtanium. In the middle of the game it gets a bit tiresome, but the beginning and the end is fun. I miss an indicator how many and what kind of resource is mined. The graphics for the unobtainium could be nicer, maybe animated. And an additional compass as most expensive option to buy would be nice.
Apr 30 19:49:00	8m 00s	Botch Bundle	Great idea, nice graphics and audio! Sadly the game is very short, because the puzzles/levels are really easy to solve.
Apr 30 20:04:00	15m 00s	Vinnie the Virus	Great game. I like the idea and the graphics very much. While playing the first time a got confused, because I instinctively always thought the red blood cells are the enemies. It took a while to accept that red is good :)
May 1 10:49:00	14h 45m	Deep Diver	Awesome graphics, animations and a fun to play game. I wish the air bottles would appear more often to prolong the game. And the music could use some more variation. But overall your game is really great.
May 1 11:33:00	44m 00s	Landmine Wars	Great idea, simple games are always good. But I think you made it unnecessary complicated to get started with the game. I think it would be much easier, if the different units had more differentiated graphics, maybe a circle (minelayer), a square (minesweeper) and a triangle (harvester). And maybe you could more simplify the instructions. <br/> <br/>While playing the game I noticed two problems. At one time the minelayer drove right through a mine it just laid and got destroyed. Interestingly the mine wasn't between the minelayer and the base, so it wasn't even necessary to use the field with the mine. Another thing I had problems with was the placement of units on the base, often more than one unit gets placed in the same spot, so it's not possible to select a specific unit. If you work further on your game, I would definitely like to see an AI for the practice mode to increase the fun playing the game without a real opponent.
May 1 18:41:00	7h 08m	A Glorious Escape for A Lich King	Great idea, great game! I managed to win the second time I played in easy mode. The interface is nice, I wish I thought of that.
May 1 19:13:00	32m 00s	Drowning in Problems	This game is very deep and makes you think about life, what's important and what's not. Only some music is missing and could enhance the mood, I think.
May 1 20:39:00	1h 26m	Deep Blue Home	Beautiful game with great audio. But I don't like the electro shocks.
May 2 16:40:00	20h 01m	The fight beneath the surface	Very entertaining entry. I like the story and the voice acting. It's interesting to see how much a game can be improved with narration. In the beginning it seemed really short, but it takes a few minutes to try the different possibilities. So I would like to see a much longer version with more to do.
May 2 17:04:00	24m 00s	Beneath Colossal	Great graphics and audio. And it's fun to play for a while, but I wish there was a clear goal what to do.
May 2 17:28:00	24m 00s	Mars	Nice start. I found two bugs. The game crashes when I dismiss a soldier or when I send him where he already is. Interestingly I tried to make a somewhat similar game and it's also far from finished. But mine is more a simulation than a RTS.
May 2 18:57:00	1h 29m	De Profundis	Your awesome graphics and audio creates a great atmosphere. The game is really fun to play and feels very polished. Sadly it's so short. I had to play it again after reaching the bottom of the sea. Would like to see more levels, maybe randomly generated. Definitely the best game I played so far.
May 3 13:37:00	18h 40m	It Came From The Sewer	Overall a great fun to play game, I like especially the graphics and the interesting concept. Different types of girls would be nice, so that you need different strategies to get them. Maybe combined with different types of aliens or you can change an alien by directing it through different kinds of tunnels.
May 3 16:24:00	2h 47m	Beneath the Surface	Great graphics, audio and atmosphere! I would like to see a faster moving character and improved lighting options. The light of the lighter and the signal grenade is too small I think. The short light burst when firing the gun I like best.
May 3 16:43:00	19m 00s	Honey Bundles	I like the unique idea, but it took me some time to understand how the game works.
May 3 17:09:00	26m 00s	Rude Bear Revengeance	Great game! I like the graphics and audio very much. The lift in the beginning is a nice idea and the step by step introduction to all the game elements is nice too. But I think I would leave the whip out of the game, to simplify the game.
May 3 17:19:00	10m 00s	Somalia	Beautiful game! Nice graphics and animations with all the details. It's fun to play, looks and feels very polished.
May 3 20:10:00	2h 51m	John	Overall an awesome game! I especially like that your game manages to trigger memories and emotions related to the presented images. Additionally in spite of the simplicity of the game mechanics it gets quickly rather challenging, but at the same time avoids to create stress. Maybe it is possible to intensify the triggered emotions by slowing the game down for a really short time during a memory is shown. But an extended version with a wider range of memories would definitely be great.
May 3 20:30:00	20m 00s	Digable Planet	Nice graphics and audio. Your game is challenging, but fun to play and fits the theme very well. And thank you for the alternative controls, the original controls are a bit tricky on a trackpad.
May 4 20:40:00	24h 10m	Wunderheilung	Really unique idea and graphics style. The game is fun to play and fits the theme very well. But sadly it's rather short. Would be nice to have a much longer version, maybe with randomly generated characters and more to do for the player.
May 5 19:40:00	23h 00m	Digging up Daisy	Great entry, I like especially the clean graphics style! It took me a while to realize that the radar function uses fuel too. But eventually I found the last coffin. The only improvement for the game I can think of would be the music, because it's a bit too repetitive.
May 5 19:53:00	13m 00s	Hot Diggity	Awesome game, great graphics and audio! This is one of those games you can play all day long, very addictive. One thing I noticed is from time to time a flickering of the grid between the tiles.
May 8 18:26:00	70h 33m	Mine Explorer	Amazing graphics and great audio! With more rooms with objects and gold this would be really great.
May 8 18:34:00	8m 00s	Jumpland Underground	Very addictive game! But I think it's really hard though. I would have liked it better, if the level layout would be the same every time.
May 8 18:51:00	17m 00s	FuMeKuRi (page-turner)	Really great entry with amazing audio. It took me a while to figure out how to play the game, but then I made it easily through all the levels. So I would like to see some more challenging levels.
May 8 19:00:00	9m 00s	Strawberry in the Underworld	Great and unique idea! Nice graphics, audio and gameplay. The game fits the theme very well and it's fun to play.
May 9 20:50:00	25h 50m	Down	Interesting game with great graphics and audio. But I have a problem with the controls, the page is always scrolling when I use the up and down cursor keys.
May 9 21:28:00	38m 00s	SnakeFormer - Half Snake, Half Platformer	Awesome puzzle game concept, mixed with nice graphics and audio. The game is fun to play and the combination of the different game elements works great. It took me almost 30 minutes to make it through the 4 levels, but it was worth it. I think the third level is the hardest one. Overall great game, only more levels are missing.
May 10 12:19:00	14h 51m	Damned Scouts!	Unique game concept with nice graphics and audio. I had to start over after unintentionally pressing r, luckily the game is short and really easy. Humor at the end is good and shows clearly that killing isn't the answer. So I would like to see some challenging puzzles to improve the game, maybe even without killing the scouts.
May 10 12:40:00	21m 00s	Ben Eath the Surf Ace	Great game with hilarious ending. I like the story, the graphics, the audio and everything else about your game. It's simple but the story and the presentation makes it fun to play. You even managed to build up tension right before Ben reaches the boat. I noticed a bug in the game, if you press the down key right after ben is on the surfboard, you immediately lose. And your instructions say to use the down key for the bombs and the up key for the knives, but I think it's the other way around. Overall a great game, sadly a bit short.
May 10 13:22:00	42m 00s	Beneath The Ice	Interesting game concept. I started the game without a mouse and thought the controls are torture. Also the game got boring really fast. I read a few of the comments and was surprised that others had actually a lot of fun playing your game. So I searched for a mouse and was surprised that the game experience totally changed while using it. With a mouse the game is fun to play and doesn't get boring. The ending is quite fun, but after finding the head, I expected a slightly different one: A big fish jumps out of the water and attacks the player. After the separated body parts fell in the water the ice is slowly closing again and the next innocent fisherman comes along. So the story starts all over again.
May 10 21:12:00	7h 50m	Escape Enclosures Expeditiously	Nice game with good looking graphics. It's not too challenging, but it took me a while to finish the three levels. The biggest problem was, that the enemies aren't set back to the original starting position after losing. But I see you have already changed that in your post-compo version. Good entry!
May 11 09:35:00	12h 23m	Paddle Battle Pegasus	Great game, I like the idea. In the beginning it looks easy, but gets challenging really fast. With some more work this game could be awesome.
May 11 10:04:00	29m 00s	All is one	I like the graphics, effects, audio and the unique concept of your game. With all those you managed to create a gripping atmosphere and made the experience interesting. The jokes are great too, but I would have liked, if there was no repetition. Sadly the game lacks on content and replay value. I think you imagined a much richer world with diverse objects to interact with, hence the big playing field. At one time the holes in the ground were very annoying, because they were placed near one of the objects I had to visit in the second stage of the game (or the object was placed near the holes). After dying the player felt automatically in one of the surrounding holes.
May 11 10:17:00	13m 00s	Under Google	Nice idea with great graphics. Would have liked more game play and some audio, though. The post-compo version is much better!
May 11 10:32:00	15m 00s	Beneath the City	Amazing graphics, amazing game play. Only some sound effects are missing, I think.
May 12 10:11:00	23h 39m	<GAME NAME>	Interesting game concept! It's fun to play and with some more work this could be a great game.
May 12 12:11:00	2h 00m	The bunker game	Nice first entry. The simplicity of the game encourages to retry after losing it. But after some attempts I wonder if it is possible to keep this going for a longer time.
May 12 12:21:00	10m 00s	Deep Blue Surface	Good simple game with nice graphics. You managed to create some tension trough the slow movement of the player, but some times it seems a bit too slow though.
May 12 13:07:00	46m 00s	Submarine (treasure hunting)	Nice idea and great graphics. Would be nice to have some goals, maybe destroy all mines or all enemies or get all treasure chests + more levels with increased difficulty.
May 12 13:26:00	19m 00s	Mountain King	Solid entry, with challenging gameplay. Graphics and audio is good. Restricted shooting mechanism is also a good idea, so it's necessary to plan ahead. Detection of ladders could use some improvement, at the moment it's possible to climb besides them.
May 12 13:53:00	27m 00s	SneakyLink	Awesome game concept! Would like to see this completed and further extended in regard of story, possibilities and graphics. I had problems with undefined values, repeated dialogue with wherez and the status indicator in the chat app wasn't updated correctly.
May 12 14:02:00	9m 00s	Some People	Interesting concept. Separatedly the parts of your game are simple, but it's challenging to concentrate on both combined. Some more variation would be nice.
May 12 14:15:00	13m 00s	Living in a Kaboom submarine	Great idea! I like the concept and the audio. At first I was confused what to do, because I expected some buttons on screen. After a restart I paid more attention to the instructions and noticed the letters next to the icons. This could be improved and I'm not sure if it's really possible to play on one keyboard with so many players. But nonetheless a great start and with some more work you could create an awesome game.
May 12 14:30:00	15m 00s	The Last Packet of Pumpkin Seeds	Great atmosphere and nice story, I would like to read more.
May 12 15:35:00	1h 05m	Strata Dig	Good start, but far from finished. I had the same problem. Graphics are looking good.
May 12 15:48:00	13m 00s	Underminers Inc.	Great game, you accomplished a lot in that short amount of time. Would like to play it longer, but the AI is too strong for me. A tutorial for the beginning would have been nice. Some polishing and the game will be awesome.
May 12 16:03:00	15m 00s	Mini Metro Subway Tycoon	Awesome game! The idea is great and the implementation also, a lot of work done in 48 hours. The UI could be a bit improved and some sounds would be nice. I like that you made a video tutorial.
May 12 16:10:00	7m 00s	House of Clouds	Good concept and graphics. It's a fun to play game with some nice puzzle elements. Only the music is a bit too repetitive and in-game instructions on how to use the characters would be nice, other than that I think it's a great game.
May 13 17:11:00	25h 01m	Balancitos	Incredible game! Great idea and awesome implementation. But I found the game really hard, maybe it would be enough to have only the three weights on the front without the possibility to rotate the island. Because the rotation seems somewhat detached from the rest of the controls. Maybe it's easier to control on a device with touch. And I miss some kind of timer to know how long the island was stable.
May 13 17:24:00	13m 00s	Infection	Awesome game! It looks and feels complete.
May 13 17:36:00	12m 00s	Sub Aquam Adventure	The game seems simple at the beginning, but it's fun to play. I think on a touch device will it be even more fun. Character looks good too. But where has superman left his cape? Overall a nice game.
May 13 17:54:00	18m 00s	In Cold Blood: Hatching a Conspiracy of Epic Scale	Unique game concept with great audio. I like the story, the characters and of course the sound effects. The game is rather challenging.
May 13 18:05:00	11m 00s	The Marvellous Sushimaker	Great graphics and animations! Would be nice to see this game finished. I found one bug: it's possible to leave the screen and there is no way to come back.
May 15 18:41:00	48h 36m	Beneath the Rain	Interesting game concept with great audio and graphics.
May 15 19:01:00	20m 00s	Declivity	Great game with lots of details, nice graphics, audio and atmosphere. The game fits the theme well and is fun to play.
May 15 19:10:00	9m 00s	Terror from beneath	Really great idea, but the game is rather challenging with those keyboard controls. It took me a while to get past the first worm, but I didn't manage to get past the second level.
May 16 17:43:00	22h 33m	Planet Improver	Game with lots to discover. The game looks complete and is fun to play, the sound effects are awesome. One thing I don't like: The game doesn't fit on my screen.
May 16 18:07:00	24m 00s	Baconizers: Into The Abyss	Nice start! It's sad that you couldn't finish it. The concept is good and the audio is good too.
May 16 18:19:00	12m 00s	Beneath the Mind	Nice fun to play game with good audio. I wish it would be a bit more challenging.
May 16 18:28:00	9m 00s	The Moon Mystery	Game with good concept and nice audio. It's fun to play, but a bit hard. Maybe you could improve the controls to make it easier.
May 17 15:40:00	21h 12m	The Dead Beneath	You made a really nice game. I like the pixel effects very much. But it would be nice if the game was a bit more challenging. Nonetheless a great start, you should work further on this.
May 17 15:54:00	14m 00s	the adventure of a pregnant woman	The game is fun to play, has many details and interesting sound effects. But I fell through the floor too. Maybe you find some time to work further on your game.
May 17 16:06:00	12m 00s	Funzi Islands	Great fun to play game with a very unique concept. Sadly I couldn't get enough money to buy a plane, I was always too slow and got caught by the tentacles.
May 17 17:45:00	1h 39m	vers la lumiere	On my computer the game is a bit slow, so it's not much fun to play and very hard. I watched your video and the game seems much better there. I'm not sure why the game is so slow, because the amount of objects on screen is rather small and the graphics are simplistic.
May 17 17:55:00	10m 00s	Crucitas adventures	The game seems unfinished, because it's showing the same levels again. I assume you wanted to make a puzzle game. I would like to see the resources and the amount I have left and more levels of course. But nonetheless, nice start!
May 17 18:10:00	15m 00s	pIMGale	Truly unique idea! But I would have liked a simpler story.
May 17 18:52:00	42m 00s	Blundergaffe	The game has rather complex game mechanics, so it takes a while to get used to them. Would be nice to have some kind of tutorial to get faster into the game. But nonetheless it's an addictive game.
May 17 19:02:00	10m 00s	Kitsuni	This game is amazing, it looks and feels very polished. I like the the beautiful graphics and the unique concept very much. All the little details you put into your game are great and it's much fun to discover them.
May 17 19:13:00	11m 00s	Underground City Defender	Interesting game concept! It took me a few attempts to understand the game, even with the instructions. But then it was great fun, so it would be nice to have a small tutorial to get faster into the game.
May 17 19:19:00	6m 00s	LucanusCrawlus	Nice start, I like the graphics and the idea. I would definitely like to see more.
May 18 10:35:00	15h 16m	Blackhedge Noir - Beneath Their Surfaces	I like the concept and the presentation of the game very much. The audio and the black and white graphics manage to create a very atmospheric experience. The idea of the murder that will happen in a short amount of time is interesting, but the enforced time restriction isn't so much fun. Would be nice to remove the timer, but keep the story. Maybe it would be possible to randomize the victim, the background stories and the murderer to get some replay value.
May 18 10:51:00	16m 00s	Thermonuclear Mutant Bunker Survival	Nice little game with good graphics. It's like a simplified version of asteroids. I'm not sure if the ammo restriction is a good idea and it felt a bit slow. Would be nice to increase the speed, reduce the number of lives maybe to one and add some audio to make the game more fun to play.
May 18 11:10:00	19m 00s	OMNOMNOM	Great entry, I especially like the graphics. The controls and the UI was a bit tough to understand in the beginning, afterwards the game was fun to play. But I would like to see some more challenging game play.
May 18 12:20:00	1h 10m	Treasure Dive Buddy	Simple but interesting concept. Sadly the game is very slow on my computer, so it wasn't that much fun. Another problem I had: The player is diving faster than the camera is moving, so I had to wait for the camera to catch up.
May 18 12:28:00	8m 00s	Full Immersion	Simple game with great graphics. I would like to see some audio added and improved mine placing. At the moment the mines seem to be too random and often it's not possible to dodge the mines, because there are too many. Retry isn't possible too, because the mines are getting more and more with every retry. Only reloading the game will help.
May 18 16:08:00	3h 40m	Escape to Below	Nice game with good sound effects. The moving patterns of the attacks are great and making the game more challenging. But something seems to be missing, what I don't know. With some more work this could be an awesome game.
May 18 16:18:00	10m 00s	Cybs Submarine	It takes a while to get used to the slow responding controls, but after that it's a captivating game. Some audio would be nice, though.
May 18 18:02:00	1h 44m	Ludumsub	Great captivating game! I had much fun playing it, wish there were more level. Overall awesome.
May 19 04:33:00	10h 31m	Super Iceberg Hero	Great idea! The movement in the game feels very realistic in the beginning. But at the end the iceberg is too fast I think, so it's nearly uncontrollable.
May 19 11:38:00	7h 05m	A Warm Summer's Eve	I like the idea with the moving text to reflect the position of the player. But it would be nice to have some alternative routes to leave the preset path and truly explore the world.
May 19 11:48:00	10m 00s	Drill Fish	Interesting concept! Sadly the game is short and the fish is hard to control. Additional randomly generated levels should help to increase the play time and the fun.
May 19 11:59:00	11m 00s	Sink or Swim	Nice physics and audio. The game is fun to play. But I would like to see another version with air bubbles not permanently dangerous. Maybe a bar that gets inscreased with every bubble hit and decreased over time. If the bar is at 100% the fish dies. This would allow the possibility to recover from mistakes.
May 19 16:08:00	4h 09m	Mine The Planet	Great first entry, fun to play and captivating! I would like to see some audio and some animations added to the game.
May 19 16:16:00	8m 00s	Effin' Rats	I like the concept of the game very much. But the game feels really hard. I finished the first level instantly, but after dying in the second level I never managed to beat the first level again.
May 19 16:24:00	8m 00s	Test Beneath the Surface	Interesting, unique and mind bending concept. Great use of the theme. I like the graphics and audio too. Overall awesome!
May 19 16:30:00	6m 00s	Ad Astra	Nice idea. The game fits the theme and seems to have an interesting plot. Sadly it's too hard for me. I wish I could jump higher.
