Aug 25 18:34:00		Nibiru is late!	Your idea works well, eating the other guys is a lot of fun. The sound effects could use some work, and the one hit kills are a bit frustrating, but as a first version, great work!
Aug 25 18:53:00	19m 00s	Isles in the Sky	It looks like a really nice game, and you got it to work very well. But once I figured out how it worked, I was just annoyed by the clunky movement and the weird colors. Of course, you can't polish a game like this in 48 hours, and that's not the point of this. You've made a great game, but you can make it even better.
Aug 25 19:08:00	15m 00s	Arktrail	When I started to understand it, I loved it! It seems like a very complex game, but the controls are very simple. It involves strategy, a story and creative thinking, and you combined these things really well. And the sounds made me smile.
Aug 25 19:19:00	11m 00s	Zeit	This is amazing! I'm sure you can figure out a way to make this into an awesome game. The mechanics actually work quite well and once I understood them I loved it. I'd loved to see this project continued!
Aug 25 19:29:00	10m 00s	Gravitas	This game is impossible for any animal species that I know of. What kind of alien are you? :O
Aug 25 19:41:00	12m 00s	You Are Bactera	You already won me when I saw that this game was about Conway's Game of Life. I love watching stuff evolve, and this is quite fun. However, I have some points of criticism: <br/> <br/>-The tutorial is good but too long and extensive. <br/>-The play/pause button is inverted, which is mildly irritating. <br/>-Sometimes, it gets stuck or repetitive quite fast. <br/>-The font is not pixelated. <br/>-Reading the title I assume you chose the plural form of "bacterium" on purpose to tell me that I'm not alone, now I'm slightly creeped out.
Aug 27 20:06:00	48h 25m	Between Two Worlds	I like the silly graphics, but the physics are a little annoying. Also, I didn't understand how to advance from the first room. Maybe it's just me, but I didn't find a way out, maybe you should explain better what's to do.
Aug 27 20:11:00	5m 00s	Shotgun Shinobi	I like the character switching mechanic, but the mediocre level design and inappropriate use of audio kind of threw it off. Also, nobody likes installers.
Aug 27 20:31:00	20m 00s	Political Planeting	I'm sorry, but even after some trying I was not able to figure out how to do the things you tell me to do. A tutorial text is not very helpful if you have less than 3 seconds time to read it before you lose the game. You should have thought more about whether people who play the game for the first time are going to understand the concept. <br/>The game might be quite cool, and it seems playable, but it needs more work. :)
Aug 27 20:39:00	8m 00s	New World	It's quite pleasing to click around and build stuff, but I don't feel like I'm making any progress. This is a good start, but it needs clearer goals.
Aug 27 20:53:00	14m 00s	Super Pom Porom Quest 2	Solid concept, nicely implemented, visually very appealing, in desperate need of sound effects. You can't have such a good game without audio. Also, I really like the way you designed the levels and how the mechanics are explained while playing. The level of difficulty is perfect. I hope you'll continue working on this and polishing it.
Aug 30 11:41:00	62h 48m	Convergence	Smooth, simple tower defense experience. The difficulty is okay, but in the beginning there's really only one way to play without losing. The easier you make the game, the more possibilities you give the player to develop his own playing style. <br/>Works well on mobile devices. It's a little bit slow, and only playable well on big screens.
Aug 30 11:48:00	7m 00s	Planet Bouncer	Interesting physics, fun to use. I found the level design a little bit odd and difficult. The simple graphics leave space for more 'special effects'. Otherwise, a nice concept and prototype. :)
Aug 30 11:57:00	9m 00s	Dimensional Leak	Nice mood, the graphics do their job, audio could potentially be improved. I get a lot of annoying flickering and a weird border around the drawn area on Windows. <br/>It's a good start and fun and simple to play.
Aug 30 12:15:00	18m 00s	Space Spy Story	I love the music and the graphics are incredibly pleasing! I don't fully understand the mechanics, but I managed to beat the game by just trying around. I'm personally not a 'game reader', but I really liked the messages, the story and the instructions on the right. Great job!
Aug 30 21:42:00	9h 27m	Connected Words	I like the cool, innovative idea and the connection with the real world. I generally like when games are made using unusual technologies, but I'm afraid this one didn't keep me interested for very long. It's awesome and fits the theme very well, even though the gameplay isn't the most exciting.
Sep 7 08:08:00	178h 26m	Para & Lell	Solid concept, intuitive design, nice music; you've got a good start here.
Sep 7 08:15:00	7m 00s	Infected Dimesions	This has more potential in terms of level design. It's not a very unique idea, but it works and it's fun. Nice work!
Sep 7 08:22:00	7m 00s	Tin Can Internet	This is great! It's very polished, it looks awesome, it's fun to play and easy to grasp. I love the way you explain the concept and the way you implemented the theme. But I found the time limit rather annoying than challenging, but I guess the leaderboards make more sense this way.
