Apr 18 09:18:00		Attack of the RGBobots	I'm super impressed by this entry. I can't believe it's the real thing (a real ZX Spectrum file I mean)! <br/> <br/>The game itself is pretty good. It starts off very easy, but becomes challenging rather quickly. I always like turn-based strategy games, so a big +1 from me. And on top the graphics and audio are also very cool, so all in all I couldn't really ask for more from a LD entry. <br/> <br/>Awesome job!
Apr 18 09:30:00	12m 00s	Cactus Ray	Well done on finishing a game for your first LD! Getting an entry submitted at all is half the challenge :) <br/> <br/>The game itself is pretty nice. I like the mechanic where you can manipulate the level. It's a bit of a shame there is no audio, but given the fact you've switched genre mid-jam, it's impressive you made something this coherent at all. <br/> <br/>Keep it up!
Apr 18 09:41:00	11m 00s	Down the Drain	It took me a little while to get the hang of it, but once I figured out how you can change into gas to go up on land and change into ice to go up in the water, it all worked pretty well! <br/> <br/>It's a real shame there's no audio, because that would really have made this game into something that feels finished. More levels would also be nice of course. The mechanics are cool enough, so maybe you can add some post compo? <br/> <br/>Either way, good job! As wumpus said, the jumping out of the water as a block of ice feels nice :)
Apr 18 14:00:00	4h 19m	Railroad Shifter	Oh god I love that guy in the corner. I'm laughing out loud here, hahaha. <br/> <br/>TOOT TOOT! <br/> <br/>Sadly I'm currently a bit too sleepy from the LD weekend to figure out the puzzles. I managed to solve the first one, but I'm too dumb for the second. I'll come back to this in a few days when my mind is more clear :) <br/> <br/>But that guy in the corner, hahahaha. Good job!
Apr 18 17:46:00	3h 46m	Elemental Shift	This game is pretty cool! I like the way it introduces how it works before it gets really tough. It seems very finished, all in all, which is hard to do during the short 48 hours of the compo. Well done!
Apr 18 18:13:00	27m 00s	Mephisto Rising	Cool game! The changing of the platform is a nice mechanic and because there's lots going on, there's always something to look out for. Also cool is the fact you've added music & sound effects! Well done :)
Apr 18 18:23:00	10m 00s	Morphomancer	Good job on finishing, even though you didn't like the theme much. The concept is pretty solid, but the implementation felt a bit glitchy at times. Sometimes I lost my ability + potion without having passed through a barrier, which made it impossible to solve the level. But otherwise it's pretty cool!
Apr 18 23:52:00	5h 29m	Pasowix's Magical Shapeshifting Workshop	Ha, this is an awesome entry. I love that you've made a whole soundtrack for the game, which is not something found in every compo game. The puzzles itself are cool, but what really makes it shine are the funny things the customers say. Very well done! I played it all the way to the end, so that's a good sign, right :)
Apr 19 18:29:00	18h 37m	Shape Shifty Bang Bang	Cool game, bro :) I thought it would be impossible to play with a laptop touchpad, but actually it's not too bad at all. <br/> <br/>What was a little hard though, was remembering which key maps to which shape. Maybe switching shapes with a single key (cycling through them) would be a nicer control scheme? Then I can just tap the one button repeatedly in a panic :P <br/> <br/>Too bad you didn't have time for music, because it felt a bit empty because of that. But a very nice game nonetheless. The core gameplay is solid, fun and challenging and in the end, that's what it's all about :)
Apr 19 20:33:00	2h 04m	Wood for the Trees	A very nice game, this! It's a very organic experience, despite the huge pixels. I liked how natural the puzzles flow into each other. And even though the music wasn't made for this specifically, it still works very well. <br/> <br/>Looking around was a bit hard with a touchpad, which is a shame, because looking around is also one of the nicest things to do in such a game. Spotting a hidden note can be really rewarding, so I like to look around as much as possible! <br/> <br/>Nevertheless this was truly a joy in every possible sense. What I especially liked was the looping. It made the space feel quite large, but simultaneously nothing was ever far away and you can't get lost. Very very clever!
Apr 20 07:09:00	10h 36m	Disarranged	Holy shit, this game had me rage quit a lot :D But I'm very proud I didn't give up and won in the end :) <br/> <br/>Awesome game! Absolutely hilarious and also looking & sound pretty good! <br/> <br/>It's hard as hell though, holy shit :D
Apr 21 06:33:00	23h 24m	Facade	Very cool game, euske! Not just the main mechanic of setting up the different guys against each other is a lot of fun, but also the fact they greet you ("Yo!") gives it loads of character. <br/> <br/>It's too bad the pathfinding is a bit glitchy from time to time, but otherwise it's working pretty good :) <br/> <br/>It feels like a very complete thing, with music as well as sfx, multiple levels with a pretty good learning curve and a big boss in the end. Well done!
Apr 21 06:44:00	11m 00s	Turbo/Glide	I've been trying a million times, but I still can't manage to get through level 4 :( <br/> <br/>But I'll keep trying, because this game is loads of fun! The graphics are top notch. Not just the car/plane, but also the explosions and even the menu is very nicely styled. The audio is pretty cool as well, from the nice countdown sfx at the start, to the engine revving and even background music. This game feels very complete and polished, which is amazing for a compo entry. Well done!
Apr 22 19:18:00	36h 34m	The Government Job	It isn't the easiest game to get into, but I think after a while I did manage to get the hang of it a bit. Going after people on a hit list is actually a lot of fun, I've learned :D <br/> <br/>The music is simple, but good job of having it in there. Many compo games lack music, which is a shame! I liked the colourful graphics a lot, it's got some character to it imho. <br/> <br/>Good job all in all!
Apr 22 19:28:00	10m 00s	Go Shape Yourself	The bullets are a bit slow, but otherwise this is a pretty cool game! It looks good and the Xbox controller support is a nice addition. I'm sad there isn't any music, but the awesome menu graphics make up a lot of it :)
Apr 22 19:45:00	17m 00s	Slimes	A clever little puzzle game :) The difficulty curve is rather well done and I thought the concepts were pretty well explained through the levels, which is always nicer than having a separate tutorial. The graphics are simple, but effective, as are the sound effects. It's a bit of a shame there isn't any music, but otherwise very well done!
Apr 22 20:55:00	1h 10m	Deershifter	Congrats on your first LD! The backstory is kind of crazy, so that's cool, haha. The game itself is quite simple, but it works :) It looks & sounds alright, so all in all, good job!
Apr 22 21:09:00	14m 00s	Portalshift	This game is pretty cool! I'm amazed how much you got done in the short 48 hours of the compo, as not only does the art look quite detailed and there's sfx and music, there's also quite a bit of content! The coins are a clever way to have some extra replayability. Very nice all in all, well done!
Apr 22 21:13:00	4m 00s	Life of George	It's a simple game, but it looks & sounds alright :) Well done!
Apr 25 10:36:00	61h 23m	Exhuman	This game looks & sounds fantastic, well done! It's incredibly hard though, hahaha. I'm really struggling to survive!
Apr 25 10:43:00	7m 00s	NOUKE	At first I wasn't really sure what to do, but after a few tries I started to get the hang of it and was able to manage a score of 18. Not too bad, right? <br/> <br/>The presentation is a bit minimal, but I feel it works with the mood of the game. <br/> <br/>Good job!
Apr 25 22:06:00	11h 23m	Pitch Black	This is right up my alley. I love car stuff! Why don't all racing games implement clutches? <br/> <br/>My best time was 11.50 by the way. I was able to run the Windows version on my Mac using Wine :)
May 5 10:57:00	228h 51m	Cyan	I'm super proud of myself for having finished this, haha. The game was quite a challenge at first, but after a few attempts, it started to dawn on me how to play. Eventually I needed 5 continues to finish a run in 7 minutes. I don't know if that's terrible or not, but for me it's a victory. <br/> <br/>I see a lot of people commenting on the control scheme. While playing, I wondered if it would have been possible to play this game with only two buttons, where the jump button would automatically shapeshift you into a bat if you weren't already. Perhaps such a simplified control scheme would help some players who find it too difficult. But to be honest, even though I'm generally terrible at platformers, I did find it was possible to get used to the controls fairly quickly actually. <br/> <br/>Anyway, this is a great game! It's incredibly well made, as the graphics and music are marvellous and it all feels very, very solid. I think the modulation in the song is a clever way to avoid it sounding too repetitive. <br/> <br/>Well done :)
May 6 15:36:00	28h 39m	PaperFlap	This game looks & sounds fantastic. I wish it was longer, because I was just getting the hang of it! <br/> <br/>Good job :)
May 6 21:52:00	6h 16m	Shapey Jets	Cool game, man. Congrats on finishing your first entry! I hope you keep at it and improve with each LD :)
May 9 21:52:00	72h 00m	Colour Shift	Haha, that yellow laser thing is amazing. I just kept pointing it upward from the left side of the level and was raking in the points B-) <br/> <br/>I ended at 3531 points, that's pretty good right? <br/> <br/>It's a cool game, despite its flaws. It's got a bit of a Super Crate Box vibe going. I love that despite everything, you submitted a very complete game with pretty nice graphics, music, sfx, varied monsters, it's all there :)
