Aug 25 16:05:00		Choose Your Side	A short tutorial at the beginning explaining what to do will help you in future efforts! <br/> <br/>Cool music!
Aug 25 16:14:00	9m 00s	Space Vikings	25 weeks! I loved the sounds! Both the sfx and the guitar (banjo?) in the background. It gave a very Dwarf-Fortressy vibe, which is good. <br/> <br/>The game itself would benefit from a small tutorial or mouse-over for the different actions so I know what influences what. Other then that, pretty cool!
Aug 25 16:20:00	6m 00s	Delightful Harmony	I'm not sure I quite get what it does, but it is damn pretty! Superb design, great soundwork and crips voice. Well done!
Aug 25 19:50:00	3h 30m	Black Box Bandit	Loved it! It really caputered the Commodor-64 vibe (or earlier?) for me. The sounds, especially with a full screen of nodes is like a retro-waterfall, I totally loved just going back and forth and listening to it. <br/> <br/>The humour of hte backstory adds a lot. Love it! Quite difficult sometimes, old-school. I like it :). <br/> <br/>Also, did you know that red nodes turn into blue nodes sometimes? Is that by design?
Aug 25 20:06:00	16m 00s	A Broken Planet	AAAAAAAAAAH! AH! AHHH! <br/> <br/>So, when you get to the end, you don't get to read the ending bit before it jumps to the ending screen. I don't know how it ends! Noes! <br/> <br/>Other then that, solid writing and cool puzzles that take some work but are solveable. I liked it! Way to go! <br/> <br/>Could be improved with an ambient soundtrack, if that's possible for this kind of thing.
Aug 25 20:13:00	7m 00s	Hold Please	Great work on the graphics, beautiful! Some sfx (a 'click' of a pin hitting a slot) would really enhance the experience. <br/> <br/>Good stuff!
Aug 25 20:31:00	18m 00s	Ambassadors Of Ruin	Love the graphics, really sets a nice and dark-ish mood. <br/> <br/>The gameplay could do, as others have already stated, with some variation in price as well as demand and supply. <br/> <br/>All in all, pretty cool!
Aug 25 20:37:00	6m 00s	Once Inside	Wow, that was well done! I love what you did with the graphics. It's a very cool way of doing them, extremely impressive! The music also complements the story. <br/> <br/>Very good, if sad, little story.
Aug 25 20:44:00	7m 00s	Trading Worlds	I love how you spun that theme right around! Well done! <br/> <br/>The mechanics work well and, after some initial panicking, I found the controls to be intuitive. Some very basic SFX for picking up and placing planets would make this even more immersive. <br/> <br/>And how do people get such high scores? Wow! <br/> <br/>All in all: if I were you I'd polish this and put it on an iPad/Android store, see how that works :).
Aug 25 20:58:00	14m 00s	Woopsy Deadsy	That's really good! It made me curse at the screen and that's high praise! <br/> <br/>Love the sound, the simple mechanics in complex situations and the amount of content! You put mid-bosses in there, I'm impressed!
Aug 26 09:41:00	12h 43m	gravity	Wow, super relaxing. Love the theremin-like music. Quite well done!
Aug 26 09:53:00	12m 00s	Star Tycoons	Whaaaa, those gorgeous graphics. Just wow! Very well done, solid gameplay and a lovely mood all around. I could spend quite a lot of time on this! Very well done! <br/> <br/>Only improvement I could think of was some variations in music.
Aug 26 09:59:00	6m 00s	Exiled to the Beyond	Awesome atmosphere and graphics! Creepy noise things too! <br/> <br/>Embrace the madness!
Aug 26 10:11:00	12m 00s	Cosmonaut	Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace
Aug 29 15:06:00	76h 55m	Notes from a Mad Mage	Great work there! I love the slow increase of speed on the fireballs! Music fits the frantic pace as well!
Aug 29 16:03:00	57m 00s	Sleep	Hey there! Thank you very much for your praise! It made me extremely happy. I will try to return the favour by giving you a play-by-play while I play through your game: <br/> <br/>Warning: Major spoilers. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>- Hey, text-based adventure. Cool. <br/>- Who is this woman? She ain't sticking nothing in me, let me tell you! Get thee away, foul wench! <br/>- Word-animations! Awesome! Love the shaking letters. Loved the 'wobbly' sentence that gets all messed up. <br/>- Huh. Waking up in my room. Well, not my room. Or is it? Why did I gloss over that so quickl- Ooooh, a laptop! <br/>- Huh. Old e-mails. Give in to inner voyeur? Hell yeah. <br/>- Read through Alex' mail. Hah, D&D. Awesome. Don't play a Bard, Nathan! For God's sake, just multi-class if you want to- Oh. Wait. Nevermind. <br/>- Instantly liking Alex and Grant. Dislike Cassie. Why, though? Assume Cassie is Nathan's crush. <br/>- Love the comma-discussion. Well written, makes it humorous instead of a boring interpunction dissection. <br/>- Larry, who the fuck is Larry? I don't like him (see? I'm good with insta-hate! :)) <br/>- Plundered Hearts? Must google later. <br/>- Googled it now. Looks awesome. <br/>- Clothes? Hell yes, I'll be bold. <br/>- "Julia swans in" I've only ever heard one of my friends from England use that term. Love it! <br/>- What's up with this Julia person? Would it kill her to try to be nice? Fine. I'll take your damned drugs, woman. <br/>- Huh. "Blut Aus Nord" Will have to put that on now. <br/>- Okay, walk out of the doo- wait what? Park? Alex? Yay, Alex! <br/>- Ha! Glow in the dark condoms! Cool. So Nathan's Gay? Bi? Hmmm. Cool! <br/>- Wait, missile impacts? Huh, dystopian future or some kind of subconsious display of Nathan's mind? <br/>- 'sexiness of apples' Have you ever seen those red ones? Damn. <br/>- So Josef uses the drugs too. Everyone uses the drugs? What do they do? <br/>- Unrequieted love. Ouch. Poor Nathan. Poor, poor Nathan. <br/>- '"Don't worry," he says, "No one knows."' Really? That's supposed to make it better? grumbles <br/>- Wait, drug's in the tent too, huh? Alright, so defenitely a dream/mind control/mindscape thing, with the drug as some kind of representation of... what? You know what, fuck you, drug! I'm not taking you. <br/>- Or I am. Damn. <br/>- Oh yes, the fear of losing what you don't have. Did I mention Poor Nathan? <br/>- Deathspell Omega? Up next on the playlist! <br/>- New message from Alex! Wait, did he just call me Steven? I thought I was Nathan. Confused now. <br/>- Cocaine table. Okay, that's seriously witty D&D-humour :). <br/>-D12 for a to-hit roll? Hrmpf. <br/>-Whoa! From geeky D&D to sex-scene! Props for writing that! <br/>- New date. Hey, it's August 2014 now. It was may before. Figured there was some kind of time-loop thing going on. <br/>- AAH! Open ending? Wait, what? But.. but what about the drugs thing? Damn it!
Aug 29 16:17:00	14m 00s	NEXUS	Love the gameboy graphics. Retro-time!
Aug 29 16:38:00	21m 00s	Don't Eat Cute	That was kinda cool! Who knew the spirits of eaten bunnies could be so vicious?
Aug 29 16:38:00	0s	Connecting LD30 to the Real World	Pretty cool idea, I like it!
Aug 29 16:40:00	2m 00s	I Think I Broke Something	Switch shooting to arrows and movement to WASD and I think it'd be a much more pleasing experience :).
Aug 29 17:52:00	1h 12m	Constellation	Yay, restored the connection!
Aug 29 17:57:00	5m 00s	Fairy Wars	Awesome bullet-hell idea! Love the mythology you used! Good music. Would benefit from some very simple backgrounds (maybe fidget around with pain.net's filters and such?).
Aug 29 18:36:00	39m 00s	Diorama	That was beautiful. Great mix of graphics and music!
Aug 29 18:53:00	17m 00s	Zanlings Match - Connected Worlds	That made me laugh quite a bit! Loved Tranzion so much!
Aug 29 20:27:00	1h 34m	Spacecat Marines	Encountered a bug when clicking 'Team'. Sadly could not return to the main mission to fight aliens for feline domination. <br/> <br/>Liked it! Well done on the music and the graphics. Especially in the later levels, with different lighting. Loved the ramping of the difficulty, impressive!
Aug 29 21:02:00	35m 00s	Space Spy Story	That's really clever! Well done! Love the puns :). Good music too, btw.
Aug 29 21:11:00	9m 00s	Schrodinghost	Holy crap, those are some sweet, sweet graphics mixed with some beautiful sound. Extremely well done! <br/> <br/>The gameplay serves to tell the story, so props on that!
Aug 29 21:19:00	8m 00s	Trappy Tomb	Pretty good idea! Loved it.
Aug 30 11:16:00	13h 57m	Kittyzilla	I _loved_ the death animation. Awesome! Some basic sounds would work really well. Like pew-pew noises and crush-noises.
Aug 30 11:57:00	41m 00s	Twist And Weave	Wow. That's really, really great design! Both on the level-design as well as graphics. Loved it!
Aug 30 12:07:00	10m 00s	Dreaming Knight: The Little Hero	Cool graphics and solid music! The mouse-waving for the sword really didn't work for me though, so I relied on the crossbow.
Aug 30 16:51:00	4h 44m	Saturday Night Symbiosis	That's really cool! I liked it.
Sep 4 20:52:00	124h 01m	Planetary Marriage Counseling	That's extremely witty. Well done. :)
Sep 8 19:28:00	94h 36m	On the edge of Earth: 5000	Great balance between sound and graphics. Love the little storyline and the ambient storytelling. The poor man must be bored out of his mind!
Sep 8 19:37:00	9m 00s	Going Postal	Nuns do not have super powers. Huh.
Sep 8 19:55:00	18m 00s	The Lion's Song	Wow. That was a beautiful story. The characters seem very real, the conversation is smooth and flows naturally and the sound effects are subtle and understated. And the art. Gah. <br/> <br/>It is really, really well told. I was pulled along with it like a leaf in a stream. Just, wow.
Sep 10 21:40:00	49h 45m	Waterfly Octus	Awesome graphics, made me smile!
