Aug 25 02:23:00		devoid	Really cool concept, felt the interface was a bit unresponsive at times, but rewarding in the end.
Aug 25 10:57:00	8h 34m	Capsule	good bye... am I a mass murdered now?
Aug 25 11:09:00	12m 00s	Wifimon	Great idea! Combat could have been a bit more interesting, but the healing mechanic and use of wifi to generate monsters is really neat. Would love to see the idea expanded/improved.
Aug 25 12:03:00	54m 00s	Conglomerates	Awesome game, found the first mission a little tough, but after I got the hang of the mechanics it was very enjoyable. "Congratulations, commander!" Would be great to have a better UI, right mouse clicking and shift-right clicking is really fiddly, wasn't always sure if I was making or breaking connections, or where I was sending units. Final mission stumped me until my 4th attempt.
Aug 25 12:15:00	12m 00s	Delving	I really struggled with matching the sounds, felt like I didn't have enough control over the starting pitch. I didn't understand the pattern matching or naming at all based on your advice. I didn't get a sense of purpose either.
Aug 25 17:36:00	5h 21m	Connected Retro Worlds	I crashed my car! Fun on three screens, didn't seem to get any harder as the game went on. Cool build.
Aug 25 17:45:00	9m 00s	Solar System Hero	I really struggled with the interface, I couldn't tell if my way point was loading or emptying resources, and I kept accidentally adding waypoints. Seemed like a nice idea but really difficult to play.
Sep 6 10:46:00	281h 01m	ShiftKeeper	Gorgeous pixel graphics
Sep 6 11:18:00	32m 00s	SpaceCorp	Really neat game, you've done well with keeping the user interface simple, and had enough game concepts to keep it interesting. I unlocked all the planets, bought a new faster ship, and reached 35,000 creds before deciding to stop playing. <br/> <br/>Minor improvements: <br/>- Stars in the background <br/>- Cash / kching animation when selling and buying goods at a planet <br/> <br/>If you wanted to continue working on the game, I'd make the following recommendations- <br/> <br/>Making the game bigger: <br/>- Repeating route orders, for routes that earn a slim profit and need to be run regularly <br/>- Fuel costs for journeys, to slim the profits again <br/>- Keep the current planets close for early game, but then add a zoomable map and planets much further away that cost much more fuel and require more expensive ships <br/> <br/>The game play would be in building a network of trading ships to help achieve the 1 million profit margin. If you've played OpenTTD and understand that what makes that game fun is building routes and tweaking them to earn profit. I think your game has the same potential. <br/> <br/>If you really wanted to blow your imagination away: <br/>- Upgradable ship engines to be more fuel efficient <br/>- Sponsor planets to generate new profitable industries <br/>- Pirate areas of space where you might get attacked without suitable protection <br/>- Escort ships or weapons to protect your fleets <br/>- Ship repair ship to send out to damaged vessels <br/> <br/>Any way, really enjoyed your entry. Hope you had fun making it :)
Sep 6 11:47:00	29m 00s	Warp Corp	Fun little arcade game. How do I get paid if there's no credits at the end of game? Why would anyone take up this job?
Sep 7 19:46:00	31h 59m	Planetoid Pilgrim	The only thing I don't get, is why separate mouse buttons for aiming and firing? I found it easier just to hold both left and right mouse down to fire because it was too confusing. Nice movement and interplanetary mechanics, I liked the surface details.
Sep 14 20:19:00	168h 33m	Stratera	Very pretty with good view controls, but the merge mechanic was really hard to grasp, especially because of the biome element. I couldn't figure out a use for the ice biome. In the end I stacked up orange cylinders across the world for a score of 74.
