Aug 26 06:52:00 Boat/Mouth Great idea. i could see myself coming back if you worked on it more.
Aug 26 07:19:00 27m 00s Use the Stones When I first entered the world I had no idea what I was doing, so I began walking around. Eventually I got randomly (or so I thought) teleported to a different island. There were some bugs and flying things that didnt look good so i tried to get away. I later bumped into a tree that isntantly killed me. alright, let's try agin. Te second time around i saw the rock on the first island in the town, but nothing seemed special about it. I walked around and got teleported again. On the new island, I saw that same rock and now it had some information for me. Find the artifact to lift the curse. Okay, lets go look for it. After some walking around I found a different rock but it only had a question mark so I had no idea what it was for. After looking around for the artifcat I got eaten by a grasshopper(?). Then next attempt I visited a few rocks on the first island, then when I later visited them on the second island they also had text, I guess that means I have to visit them on the first island before I can read them on the second island. I got a few tips from them (I think I found them all... not quite sure if there were any hidden ones though), but nothing that really helped besides "avoid bad looking things." On my next try I went around the entire island and was not able to find any sort of artifact, so I'm assuming that's it. <br/> <br/>I think you have a good idea, but it needs to be worked on a lot more. Some instructions would be nice, as all you did was throw the player into the game and let them figure it out, lots of people will stop playing right there because they can't. In-game, there should be more clear indicators as to what you're supposed to do. My only clue was that first rock, but I couldnt seem to find anything anywhere, although I'm guessing I missed something. So my biggest problem was direction. If there was a little more stuff to show that, I think it would be a lot more enjoyable. Good start.
Aug 31 18:49:00 131h 30m Infiltrate to Elevate Very nice. A bit confusing at first but it didnt take too long to understand what was going on.
Aug 31 18:56:00 7m 00s World of Beatrice, the girl next door Nice job. It was pretty good te first couple play throughs, but after that I started realizing that sometimes taking either choice in some spots will lead you to the same thing. (Saying Yes or No to Coolio still results in you guys together.) I think if you were to open it up more with some different endings it would work a lot better.
Aug 31 19:57:00 1h 01m The Catapult 5's all around. loved the story, graphics were nice, music fit very well. deserving of a sequel.
Sep 2 20:31:00 48h 34m Connection War Nice game. I couldnt seem to get money quick enough to defend my "base" though.
Sep 2 20:36:00 5m 00s Four Sided Sanctuary Good game, although I found it quite difficult to keep track of both cubes at once. Also I felt that the random generation could use some work, as some hearts were impossible to get without hitting blocks and sometimes I would respawn righ ton a block and die immediately. Nice idea.
