Apr 30 00:11:00 Alien Buddy: Beneath the Surface of a New Mexico Landfill This is really hilarious. I've never played E.T. but I've seen it being played a few times so I was laughing pretty hard at how accurate this is. Sometimes it's a bit too accurate though, a little less confusion and some less ear-grating sounds would have helped.
Apr 30 00:15:00 4m 00s punk n roll Really nice graphics here! I rolled around for a while and couldn't find much to do, but it is well put together.
Apr 30 00:35:00 20m 00s Under Your Skin I finished it! Very cool. This game has a pretty good idea and it executes on it. <br/> <br/>It could definitely use some sounds (I like the little bit of voice acting, though the volume on it seemed to vary wildly). The UI needs a lot of work, and there definitely should be checkpoints before that guard with the gun.
Apr 30 00:43:00 8m 00s Without a Paddle Nice work! I got 4250. I love the way the boat moves clumsily, like a boat would.
Apr 30 00:49:00 6m 00s Hair Spirit Adventure Really cool! I wasn't able to finish it, but I love the look of the art. The colors and the backgrounds are amazing. It could definitely use some more lenient checkpointing for how hard it is, and some sound.
May 1 02:22:00 25h 33m Shells Couldn't get past the part with spikes on the floor and the ceiling, jump height didn't seem to be variable. <br/> <br/>Nice design on the colors and font though!
May 1 02:35:00 13m 00s Ludumsub Nice work! I really love the graphics, the lighting in the later levels is a nice touch. I did beat the game! It was very very difficult, though - maybe the timer could be less demanding.
May 1 02:38:00 3m 00s DeepUnder I won! I think I blared through a lot of levels at high speed and didn't really get to see them though. Once I built up momentum I kept bouncing into exit doors. It's an interesting idea but it could use some work on the graphics and overall presentation.
May 1 02:46:00 8m 00s Dig Back Home Very addictive. I made it down to the rocks at 88m, I like the design of the progression here.
May 1 02:50:00 4m 00s Beneath the Surface Pretty nice. I only made it to 3 souls but I really love the mood. Could use a little more variety with the slow pacing and some more ambient sound to help the mood.
May 1 02:55:00 5m 00s Octopi: The Descent The music and graphics are cool, but I had a ton of trouble controlling anything.
May 1 03:04:00 9m 00s Darkness Shines Through This is really cool! I think I got stuck in a place I couldn't jump out of so I couldn't finish it, but I really love the mood, and the whispering was especially creepy.
May 2 00:48:00 21h 44m Candyland Haha this is so good! Against your wishes I did spend some time searching for secret endings, kinda sad I couldn't find any.
May 2 00:51:00 3m 00s Under The Rig Pretty fun! Great work on the graphics and sounds, could have used some variety.
May 2 00:54:00 3m 00s Yellow Submarine Treasure Hunt Fun game! I got 387. The background graphics are really neat looking, though that sub could use some work.
May 3 13:27:00 36h 33m From the Under This is awesome! Very difficult, I had a really hard time hitting the flying enemies. I love the sprites and the sound, the smooth skeletal animation looked super cool.
May 3 13:49:00 22m 00s Beneath the Surface I think the writing and the story are unfortunately pretty bad. The villain is cartoonish and the woman is more of a vehicle for horrible (and kind of offensively badly handled) dramatic things that drive the plot than a person. It's a shame because the presentation and the pacing are excellent, it is incredibly moody and dark, but undermined by the writing and characters. <br/> <br/>I think you should keep making games like this one - I love the focus on story over action, but work on the writing.
May 3 13:54:00 5m 00s Death's Lounge club Oh man, I wish you had finished this. The idea and the art and animations are amazing. I would totally play this.
May 3 14:17:00 23m 00s Beneath The Surface I won! This was pretty fun. The pacing was perhaps a bit too slow, and it was difficult to hit ships multiple times. I loved that polar bears show up on the iceberg after it grows.
May 3 14:26:00 9m 00s IlluminateTree So very pretty and moody. It felt fairly unfinished, but that kind of added to the mood honestly.
May 3 14:28:00 2m 00s Tycho Haha I won! Very nice graphics. Could use some sound!
May 3 14:37:00 9m 00s Rise to Surface Nice, I made it to 84,200 - though the score seems like more of a test of patience than skill. I liked the colors and the light beams from the top, the ambient sound was good too.
May 3 14:49:00 12m 00s Rosa Neurosa Super fun! My patient's phobia involved spiders that turn into ducks and sit in a chair staring at them. My patient is creepy. Not me, I'm normal. <br/> <br/>The one complaint I can think of is the mixing and the repeat rate on the digging sound.
May 3 17:00:00 2h 11m RGB - Beneath the Surface Very very pretty, but I could not figure out what to do at all. I tried standing underneath all the lights for a while but nothing seemed to happen. It was really slow and kinda hard to control.
May 3 17:11:00 11m 00s PATRIOT Really love the art style. Would be nice to have a score or some kind of objective.
May 3 17:19:00 8m 00s Beneath The Surface I like this a lot! Feels a lot like Rez, if it had some pounding techno music behind it. Really love the style and color choices.
May 3 17:28:00 9m 00s Down Through Sins This is my favorite game I've played so far. I almost didn't go for it because it was download and not web, but I'm glad I did. I loved the mood and the graphics, and especially loved the music. Great job!
May 3 17:44:00 16m 00s Deep Descent Really great graphics, I love the art style. And the sound is pretty good. The robot is the cutest. <br/> <br/>I had a pretty difficult time figuring out what to do, I kept hitting myself in the head with harpoons. I wasn't able to finish the game but I think I got to the last layer.
May 3 17:49:00 5m 00s Walking on thin ice... Pretty neat! The controls need some work, probably lower the speed and the look sensitivity. Feels really kinda strange and constricting not to have a sidestep too, but maybe that's deliberate. I wasn't able to survive for too long!
May 3 18:00:00 11m 00s Dream of Depth I won! This game is really good. Took me a while to figure out what was going on but I love it. Could definitely use some sound.
May 3 18:03:00 3m 00s Dungeon Jelly Nice work! I got 600 points. Could definitely use some sound, but the graphics are some of the best I've seen yet.
May 4 17:51:00 23h 48m Kitsuni The art and the mood are perfect! There are a lot of problems, but none that killed it for me. One of my favorites so far.
