Dec 14 22:15:00 DeltaSwing The swinging physics are fun, if a little unnecessary. The music was cool, but I found it a little unfitting. (Not sure what WOULD fit for this game, really.)
Dec 14 22:23:00 8m 00s Haighstrom's Tug of War It's got solid gameplay. I was a little confused as to how to play at first, but I'm kind of slow.
Dec 14 22:31:00 8m 00s From the Deep Controls are a bit finnicky, but there was not much you could do about that. The art and sound design are splendid, and you really nailed that effect when the island rises out of the ocean.
Dec 14 22:44:00 13m 00s Keyboard Prince The art style was pretty nice (I'm a bit of a sucker for Wolfenstein clones, tho.) Unfortunately, I found the combat to be a bit lacking. I was never really sure if I was hitting anyone or not, and since I could only move forward there really wasn't much to do other than spam the attack button. It'd be nice if you could, say, hold down the button and then release to push the enemies back or something. Also, I ran into a glitch where the audio engine went nuts. No idea what's going on there. Nice effort though, I personally understand what a pain in a butt games in this style can be (especially with something as low-level as LWJGL).
Dec 14 22:51:00 7m 00s Infinite Tower The gameplay is really good, but it's kind of soiled by technical problems. You already know about the lag, but attacking is kind of...clunky. Graphics are nice and polished, however!
Dec 15 03:48:00 4h 57m Clan Recruiting Simulator I like the idea. The city is detailed and beautiful as well. However, I found the controls to be very delayed and slippery, and for some reason it looked like the screen was constantly coming in and out of blurryness. Maybe the anti-aliasing is goofing up?
Dec 16 00:21:00 20h 33m Super Wall Jump Yep, I suck at this game, but I kept playing somehow. <br/>Also, those messages outside of the tower are pretty amusing. <br/>"Donald Trump." Yep. That's a good word to put there.
Dec 16 00:27:00 6m 00s Neon Abyss Don't have much to say other than what has already been said. However, I found the music to be a bit jarring. It's not bad once you get used to it, but it felt like my ears almost burst out of my head when I opened the game.
Dec 17 00:01:00 23h 34m Project 0807 My only complaint is that it didn't last longer. If only you had more time...
Dec 17 03:33:00 3h 32m Billy's Big Day I was Billy. <br/>I ate the sun. <br/>10/10 <br/> <br/>Seriously though, the game was pretty nice. My complaint is that the non-food items aren't distinct enough. I feel the red outlines blend in too well, if they were white it might have worked. Also, I found everything blinking in and out of visibility every so often. Not sure if that's a glitch or just the game trolling me.
