Apr 28 08:11:00		Drowning in Problems	Probably not my kind of game :-( Don't like the grinding aspect of it. Made it only to "You're a Human". No idea where it leads, but I lost interest :-(
Apr 28 08:44:00	33m 00s	Fragment	Exactly. I have no idea what percentage of the story I discovered, but the game conveys the feeling of running out of time and being helpless so intensely. <br/> <br/>Nice one, especially for only 6 hours of work. Also, the music fits in really great. <br/> <br/>Sorry for not giving you "humor" stars ;-)
Apr 28 08:51:00	7m 00s	C=AVERUNNER	I like the looks and style of this very much. Nice game, only, as other noted already, not much new gameplay, but the game was still fun!
Apr 28 09:12:00	21m 00s	Pipe Wars	Nice. Another submarine game \o/ A bit hard to navigate with the big submarine covering half the screen, but i have no idea how one could fix this. Maybe allow changing the camera angle? And it is sooo hard. I dropped of 3 pipes, refueled after every one and ran out of fuel right next to the refueling station :-( <br/> <br/>Definitely a fun game!
Apr 28 09:21:00	9m 00s	Bloodbath	I like the bacteria. Just reproduce and reproduce :D <br/> <br/>Interesting idea that could probably actually be turned into an educational game with some more work. A bit hard to understand the mechanics though. A word of introduction or a tutorial might be needed. <br/> <br/>I gave for 4 stars for innovation and theme!
Apr 28 09:37:00	16m 00s	Ben Eath: The Surf Ace	MAN. The game's name is so much win. Can't play it now, because I don't have windows machine. Will install wine later and try it out. Definitely on my need-to-test list :) <br/> <br/>No rating so far, will do it later!
Apr 28 09:51:00	14m 00s	Beneath the Trolls	The pixel art looks nice, but the music makes this game great. Nice level design ideas with trapping the trolls so they push buttons for us :-) <br/> <br/>Best entry I played so far!
Apr 28 10:02:00	11m 00s	Atomicle - LostAutumn.net	Like the gameplay a lot. Easy to understand, hard to master, as it should be :-) And really smooth (except for my virtual machine that ruins the day when the blur/screen shake kick in). One of the best entries so far! <br/> <br/>I like how you state Bohr's atomic model as one of your tools :3
Apr 28 10:18:00	16m 00s	Mad Bunny	The game uses premade textures and sounds. Not worth trying out. Not for the compo at least.
Apr 28 11:14:00	56m 00s	Mine Story	Nice game. I like the music and the visuals. The input was a bit problematic for me, though: Letting the drill drill continuously instead of having to click several times would be a big improvement. Or is there such a powerup later on? Only made it so cave B6... <br/> <br/>The other thing is the collision response, it feels like the player is sticking to the walls and hitting small corridors is quite difficult. Had a similar problem on my game, so I know how hard this can be :D
Apr 28 13:05:00	1h 51m	Ben is the Surf Ace	I don't agree. There is a slight progression in difficulty in the game. The distance between sharks and Piranhas (?) is getting smaller and smaller. <br/> <br/>Super cute animations (I especially like the seagull) and the sounds are so authentically retro. Almost feels like playing an Atari 2600 again :-) <br/> <br/>Great job!
Apr 28 13:13:00	8m 00s	Beneath the Cave	Looks really good. To bad there is no real gameplay. But the art style and mood is astonishing.
Apr 28 13:20:00	7m 00s	Wunderheilung	Sadly, the bird-with-top-hat floated far above the desk, so I could neither "hear" him talk nor examine him. But mystery-cigarette-hook-hands was a funny guy and the style of the game is fresh and beautiful. <br/> <br/>5 stars on theme and graphics!
Apr 28 14:27:00	1h 07m	Grow Little Tree, Grow!	I liked it a lot. It doesn't really get harder with time, also there is no real indication of how well one is doing. But the idea and visuals are great. <br/> <br/>Played it a few times! <br/> <br/>Too bad you couldn't make the full tree :-(
Apr 28 14:31:00	4m 00s	Giant worm infestation	The music is great. The game itself... hard to tell. Didnt really get harder until I couldn't shoot anymore.
Apr 28 14:40:00	9m 00s	Crazy Drill	I am not so sure what I am supposed to do. Not even sure whether I am doing well or not. But the style and music are cool. Might need some kind of feedback on how well one is doing.
Apr 29 07:57:00	17h 17m	Mole Position	Nice little game. I like the art style, very cute. As other have mentioned, the controls are a bit weird and the mole gets stuck every once in a while. <br/> <br/>You should make the spikes hurt the mole, because I was trapped beneath the chest on the left side. Had to restart :-(
Apr 29 08:08:00	11m 00s	Dwarves Manager, NES Game	Runs smoothly in bsnes. I like it that it's a real NES game. I think the art is appropriate for the limitiations posed by a NES. <br/> <br/>Good work!
Apr 29 08:31:00	23m 00s	Subocula	Really nice take on the topic, first time I give 5 stars in this category this LD. I also like the disturbing feeling it produces and the totally mad world that lies beneath the surface of our own. <br/> <br/>After 4 tries I actually became the eyeball king \o/ <br/> <br/>Found a few bugs (you probably know them already, but meh): 1. you can collect the coins multiple times by entering the house for a short while again. 2. The don't doors seem to be linked correctly. <br/> <br/>Congrats on your first LD submission!
Apr 29 08:47:00	16m 00s	Greed for Gems	Really cool lighting and visuals in general. Really hard game. I liked it a lot though, I just seem to suck at it :-(
Apr 29 08:58:00	11m 00s	Surface Tension	580m :-) <br/>5 perfect skips right at the beginning made my stone fly off-screen :D <br/> <br/>It looks really beautiful as well. Only point of critique is that there is no real progression in difficulty (or none that I could detect at least). One of the coolest games for me so far!
Apr 29 09:01:00	3m 00s	Save your tribe!	Nice little game!
Apr 29 09:14:00	13m 00s	Find the Booty	Not really sure what to do here. Is this some kind of maze with invisible walls? Couldn't get very far in either direction :-(
Apr 29 09:32:00	18m 00s	Love Letter Typer	I got stuck after hitting the first heart, in the screen that says "Hit z while running to get a new cigarette" or similar. From what I've seen so far, it's a very unique style and idea!
Apr 29 13:57:00	4h 25m	The Ocean Deep	Wow, completely different. So calm and gentle. Also the colour composition is really nice.
Apr 29 14:07:00	10m 00s	Color Graphics Adventure	Also not sure about the theme, but the game itself is fun and really nice to look at, even if i don't like this kind of card based gameplay.
Apr 29 14:13:00	6m 00s	Grave Rave!	HALIARIOUS! Funniest game I played so far.
Apr 29 14:21:00	8m 00s	PET RUN/STOP	Can't stop playing :-) As you say, it doesnt have much to do with the theme, but still a whole lot of fun :D
Apr 29 17:33:00	3h 12m	Beneath the City	Wow, best game so far. I usually don't like stealth games, but this one really captivated me. The last "real" level was quite hard for me, but I kept trying. <br/> <br/>You could really turn this into something. The beginning of the story is very promising. To bad 48h is so little time, the ending is really poor :-p <br/> <br/>Only thing I'd change: allow to hold the space bar to skip multiple turns. <br/> <br/>Also, I never needed the Dash and Bell abilities, but this might change with even more complex levels. <br/> <br/>Really good work! <br/> <br/>Really nice entry!
Apr 29 17:41:00	8m 00s	Bellhook	Nice artwork and take on the theme!
Apr 29 18:20:00	39m 00s	Franz Kafka's A Hunger Artist	I really like Kafka. So disturbing. I haven't read this one yet, will probably do it soon, but then in German :-) <br/> <br/>Sweet pixel art!
Apr 29 19:37:00	1h 17m	You are a metro car	First innovative game I found :-) <br/>A bit hard, didn't do all too well. Art style matches the game. Very well done!
Apr 29 19:52:00	15m 00s	the Attack - Beneath the Surface	I liked the simplicity and the unique style and ideas. Was there a progression in difficulty? I didn't notice one, so I stopped after a while. Besides that, cool entry!
Apr 29 20:03:00	11m 00s	Insane Grandpa	"Play through it and you might see how it fits the theme :) In my opinion it fits perfectly :)" <br/> <br/>Totally my opinion. Wow, unexpected plot twist. Also really, really awesome pixel art. Room 666 was a bit of a steep learning curve, but I managed :D
Apr 29 20:12:00	9m 00s	Dany's Room	I think this game is just the way it needs to be. At first, I thought the same, meh, no real ending, no ebjective, laaaaame. But then, after playing it for a few minutes I discovered the details and realized, this boy is trapped there and will NEVER get anything else to do than paint on his sheets of paper and do bug races. Ever. That made me really, really sad. Nice piece of work, almost poetry!
Apr 29 20:24:00	12m 00s	Come Home	I looks amazing, it sounds amazing, the message is amazing, even the take on the theme is amazing. It's just not a game. Gave you good ratings anyway, this is the jam, right?
Apr 29 20:32:00	8m 00s	Sundiver	The round enemies are so heavy duty. Never made it to the ground in ten rounds :-( <br/> <br/>But it has a very unique style, liked this a lot!
Apr 30 14:56:00	18h 24m	Stuck Beneath the Surface	Sometimes balls come from the exact opposite direction at exactly the same time :-( <br/> <br/>I had fun for a while though. Keep going!
Apr 30 15:02:00	6m 00s	Treasure Hunt	Even better, embed it in a web page and upload this to dropbox.
Apr 30 15:28:00	26m 00s	Rewire	I did it! Stage 4 took a while to figure out, but it is perfectly solvable by wits alone :-) <br/> <br/>The boss fight was quite hard, but I still managed. This is a really new concept, I like it a lot, full score in innovation! The graphics are good, and it matches the theme. <br/> <br/>Why does this have so few ratings? You should go out and rate others so you become more visible, this game deserves it. <br/> <br/>Only thing that made it a bit hard is that sometimes it doesn't understand where I want to attach a property, maybe the interface needs a few tweaks. <br/> <br/>All in all a great entry! I was really entertained!
Apr 30 15:38:00	10m 00s	PlanetShooter	Seems like a solid adaptation of Asteroids. Not sure what to do with the cheese ball (kill it? protect it?) and no score make it hard to judge how well I was doing though ;-)
Apr 30 15:41:00	3m 00s	Escaping of the Cave	Sound and graphics are so retro :-) I love it. Very hectic and the guys in robes are really creepy...
Apr 30 15:46:00	5m 00s	Dereck	I like the idea and the graphics and music. Really cool. Too bad it was barely playable because it wasn't accepting my input most of the time :-( Will still rate it as if it did ;-)
Apr 30 15:48:00	2m 00s	Darkness Looms	Nice game. I found it a bit too hard, but that's only me. The graphics really support the gameplay and the music is perfect for this type of game!
Apr 30 15:52:00	4m 00s	Mount!	Nice new take on the jumping game theme :-)
Apr 30 15:58:00	6m 00s	Pearl Dive	DAT SHARK! Loved the look in his eyes. Hilarious :D <br/> <br/>Nice, solid game!
Apr 30 17:47:00	1h 49m	Under the sea surface	Couldn't get a single treasure either :-( besides that it looks like a solid game.
Apr 30 17:55:00	8m 00s	Princess Fart	Dafuq have I just played? Hilarious! The expression on her face!
Apr 30 18:27:00	32m 00s	Esc	I do also think that everything that was "done" to him was necessary. They would be completely unable to do anything if he wasn't being pushed and stones dropped "onto" him (I rather felt it like dropping a stone behind him). <br/> <br/>Everything he does to her is completely unnecessary and just for his own satisfaction and anger. <br/> <br/>I liked the way the twist was foreshadowed and he became more and more obsessive and aggressive. <br/> <br/>I never thought too much about the topic besides a generic "be nice to your partner and every human being in general" attitude. Luckily I never had to deal with the topic myself nor do I know anyone who has or had the problem (at least none that I know of). The game made me really think about the issue. <br/> <br/>The moment the mood changes was probably the most intense moment I ever experienced in a game, perfectly orchestrated visuals and music and such a strong message. <br/> <br/>Thank you very much for making this game. I hope many people outside the Ludum Dare world see and play it.
Apr 30 18:54:00	27m 00s	0x1D	Really unique gameplay. Full innovation score :-) Also really fun!
Apr 30 19:36:00	42m 00s	Generic Adventure Game	Haha, I hope I meet an evil princess in my dream so I can talk to her and get super powers. The boss fight was not obvious at all, I was just seconds away from quitting. But then I noticed the silent thud when she was hit. <br/> <br/>Good game, really great style. Brings back old memories :D
Apr 30 19:53:00	17m 00s	Senilescape	Greatest soundtrack. Made me almost rage quit a few times, especially in the first helicopter level. It feels like the controls are a bit off, that old fart doesn't seem to jump exactly when I want him to. Old bastard. <br/> <br/>Really enjoyed it!
Apr 30 21:16:00	1h 23m	StrataGEM	Probably the hardest game I played in a long time. And the one spent most time on in this LD. Nice work. Didn't even know you could tessellate a sphere like this. Great job, full Innovation score :)
Apr 30 21:27:00	11m 00s	Beneath The Memories	I liked how the mood suddenly changes when Jacob realizes his situation. The music and video glitches afterwards really gave me a sense of haste :D <br/> <br/>Also the voice-over caught me off guard. Really good job!
Apr 30 21:34:00	7m 00s	Splitted	I honestly tried to finish it, but it is not hard, it is CRAZY HARD. But what I've seen looks really promising. If just the jumping was a bit easier...
Apr 30 22:07:00	33m 00s	Beneath the Surface - a 2D Puzzle-Platformer	Very hard levels, but so cute characters and beautiful style. Didn't experience any sound lag in the web version.
Apr 30 22:15:00	8m 00s	Strawberry in the Underworld	Really enjoyed it. It's a bit glitchy here and there (once fell through the floor in the underground, jumped out of the top screen of the screen -> window turns black), but really cute character, really love how happy she looks when she's running. <br/> <br/>Good job!
Apr 30 22:40:00	25m 00s	Excogitatoris	The jumping felt a bit weird, but liked it all in all.
Apr 30 22:45:00	5m 00s	Frustration	Couldn't really find out what I was supposed to do. Jumped all the way to the right, nothing there, searched the whole level, still nothing there :-( <br/> <br/>But I liked the music and the camera handling!
Apr 30 22:48:00	3m 00s	Surface Come	The music is awesome. Not a big fan of running games, but this one had something.
Apr 30 22:50:00	2m 00s	Sanctums	Oh, didn't notice it was multiplayer and no-one else was there. I like the unique pencil-drawing style. The rest is difficult to judge...
Apr 30 22:59:00	9m 00s	Soul Ninja	Really liked the feel of the game before the first enemy appeared. Couldn't for the heck of it kill him. Just too hard an enemy for the beginning. <br/> <br/>But the feel of the physics is really great. Not sure about the theme though, but would probabaly be more obvious later on, I guess.
Apr 30 23:06:00	7m 00s	Planet Corp.	Cool idea. You should drop Planetary Resources a mail about the torpedo drill :D
Apr 30 23:20:00	14m 00s	Ripple Runner	Really cool game. Love it almost as much as the music :)
Apr 30 23:26:00	6m 00s	Doug: A Miner Inconvenience	Cool physics. It lagged a bit for me, but that might be caused by the ads on newgrounds.
May 1 09:49:00	10h 23m	BENEATH the SURFACE	Nice interpretation of the theme. Also loved the art style.
May 1 10:00:00	11m 00s	Hanoka	Really cool game :-) Feels very smooth and dynamic.
May 1 10:10:00	10m 00s	Dowser (Lucy)	Such a cute happy ending :D
May 1 10:25:00	15m 00s	Lebesgue	It looks and sounds just amazing, but I have no idea what to do :-(
May 1 10:48:00	23m 00s	Persona	Looks great and has a message. What more could you ask for?
May 1 11:41:00	53m 00s	Neath: Surf Ace	Nice idea. Looked great too. Just the wave might need a few more details. All in all cool entry :-)
May 1 11:50:00	9m 00s	Flesh Hunter	This came is very complete and polished and was a lot of fun. Runs smoothly on Linux.
May 1 16:43:00	4h 53m	In Hiding	So intense. I can almost feel their fear. Great game.
May 1 17:27:00	44m 00s	Above and Below	Runs smoothly in wine. Very hard, even with the instructions I didn't manage to get very far :-( <br/> <br/>I like how fast paced it is and hwo the theme is approached.
May 1 17:54:00	27m 00s	Kinetectonic	Really cool concept. Took me a while to figure out the meaning of the different parts, but in the end I managed. Great game.
May 1 18:00:00	6m 00s	Behind The Smile Face	Cool idea. The controls are a bit difficult, but I guess that's part of the game ;-) <br/> <br/>Nice interpretation of the theme and looks good!
May 1 18:20:00	20m 00s	Safety Blanket	Cool concept. I really liked the "creepy" shader. Very new and fresh concept! <br/> <br/>I think this would be great as a mobile game with multitouch :D
May 1 23:38:00	5h 18m	Ground control to major Tomashevsky	Hmmm. I would have hoped for a bit more of a story. It begins with a strong introduction, then it builds tension as one goes deeper into the atmosphere. then you encounter the cube and then... nothing, more or less, except for something that feels like a soviet propaganda movie. <br/> <br/>Also, i found it a bit hard with the instantaneous death upon the smallest mistake. The landing part might need some kind of indication for the speed and distance to the surface (just zooming out a bit more might actually help). <br/> <br/>It was a bit annoying to play the whole game with the keyboard but having to switch to the mouse after every death. A reset-key on the keyboard might help, especially when you die so often. <br/> <br/>Besides that, cool game, and an interesting start of a story (a bit Arthur C. Clarke style, reminded me a lot of 2001). Especially the radio voice over was cool.
May 16 16:00:00	352h 22m	ScubaBear	Cool game. Would have almost missed it, if it weren't for the Button Masher Bros. I really love all the small details and the treasures were so sweet tributes to so many cool games! <br/> <br/>I liked how the music got filtered under water and the looks of the bear when hurt. Really cool game.
May 17 17:09:00	25h 09m	Damned Scouts!	Cool game. Couldn't finish the last one off though. Guess it's something to do with the bees, but couldn't find out how :-( <br/> <br/>But really cool looks and sound!
