May 1 07:16:28		Headroom	♥ 2	The audio and graphics are amazing but the actual game felt somewhat tedious, especially when you were really small and moved slowly. The general idea was good but I felt the puzzle was a little bit too simple and there could have been something more done with the concept. Still very pretty and enjoyable nonetheless.
May 1 09:32:39	2h 16m	Space Diver	♥ 2	Really fun! I spent way too long trying to beat the high scores on the early levels 😄 I would suggest adding a level reset button for when you screw up trying to get a good score. Other than that, I think it's a fun small game that fits the theme well. Good Job!
May 1 09:57:48	25m 09s	Planetary Defense Force	♥ 2	Nice game if not a little bit too difficult. You quickly run out of planets to put your turrets on which basically means you have to scrap turrets to build better ones, which is kind of difficult to do in the middle of a wave of enemies. Because of this I didn't get very far. Other than that, the feel of the game is kind of retro and cool, and I still enjoyed playing it.
May 1 10:18:00	20m 12s	World Jump	♥ 2	Really simple but kind of funny. The choice of different country and theme is nice, and the running animation is hilarious 😄
May 1 10:38:35	20m 35s	Space Hook	♥ 1	The graphics are really good and it's fun to jump from planet to planet with the hook. It feels kind of unfinished however. Would be nice with a destination you need to get to, or some other purpose (or maybe there is and I just missed it). Also, it doesn't seem that anything happens when you shoot the enemies or they hit you. What is there is great and overall it has potential to be really good if you build on it.
May 1 12:03:38	1h 25m	Colorfly	♥ 3	Really nice atmospheric game! The look, sound and feel of the game is really good and all the elements seems to support each other, and overall it feels like a very well put together package. Especially good is the music which ads a lot to the general mood of the game. The only small criticism I have is that the sound that plays when you plant a tree kind of interrupts the beautiful music. Especially when you plant more in a row. The sound effect it self isn't bad, it might just be a little bit too long. Alternatively a larger pool of possible effect could also work. The actual game play is really simple but enjoyable. Really chill! (Until you start getting chased by the big butterfly that is) P.S. Thank you for the feedback on my game! I Really appreciate it! Feels wrong to criticize your sound effects when mine are so horrible, but hey 😅
May 1 15:11:17	3h 07m	Protolife	♥ 7	This is in my opinion the best adaptation of the theme of a small world that I have seen so far, really cool! It's also a really interesting variation of the tower defense genre where you actually have to build the towers yourself. I liked the level system withe the levels that progressively got more challenging. I however felt that the first couple of levels where really easy and then it suddenly became really difficult. I might be that I'm just be really bad at the game but I think some slower difficulty scaling would be good. The tutorial at the start was a nice addition and worked well to teach you the core game mechanics. The graphics are simplistic but fits well with the overall game. The sound and music is also really good! Overall I had a lot of fun playing it. It's a great game! Well done!
May 1 17:34:46	2h 23m	Little bug	♥ 1	Nice graphics and funny sound effects. The idea is interesting but I wish there was something more to it. Felt slightly tedious when you had to stop and put on the light all the time. Still, I enjoyed playing it so good job!
May 2 12:09:04	18h 34m	Antagonistic : Hamburger Hill	♥ 2	Like others have already pointed out, the aiming feels a little bit clunky. It's also hard to know when you've hit your target. A different sound effect, a particle effect, or something to indicate the hit would be a good addition I think. The "incoming enemies from direction" messages are a good idea, but you have no way of knowing which direction is which. This could be fixed with a mini map or a compass. Other than that, it's a cool game and I enjoyed playing it! Funny sound effects!
May 2 12:23:15	14m 11s	Backyard Warriors	♥ 2	Cool game with very pretty graphics and cool music. Enjoyed playing the game, but it felt a little bit easy. The enemies didn't come after me until I was the only one left, so it was easy to just wait around until everybody else is gone and then just easily defeat the last one that usually only had a little health left. I also wished there was a greater variety of weapons and attack. As it is now, it felt a little simple. Still a cool game, and I enjoyed playing it!
May 2 12:47:00	23m 45s	World Collector	♥ 2	A nice enjoyable game, with a nice idea and implementation of the theme. The style was kind of retro and cool. Some quick tutorial level to teach you the controls would have been nice. I originally just started it without reading the description (my fault I know) and it took me a while to figure out what to do at level 2 and then I wondered what was wrong with shooting, as it wasn't very responsive. After I figured it out, I had a great time with it. Very challenging! P.S. The game crashed once on startup and then once again later when it was running. Might just be something wrong with my computer, but I thought I'd let you know.
May 2 13:06:49	19m 49s	World Battles	♥ 3	Fun game! Like others have pointed out, a greater variety of weapons would be nice. I played it by putting all my guns on one side and then traveled in the other direction while shooting at the enemies chasing me. It kind of felt like cheesing it, as it was easy to dodge their bullets, and in that way hard to loose. So maybe some boundaries to the world or something that makes this way of playing it harder, and more variety to weapons would be cool!
May 2 13:17:55	11m 06s	Lead the Ants	♥ 3	Cool game and a nice implementation of the theme! I enjoyed playing it and the idea was interesting, but I did find the blinking traces that you left kind of annoying. Maybe if they were to blink slower with less opacity or something similar would be better. It's kind of funny that most people either made games about planets or bugs :D
May 2 15:20:15	2h 02m	Way Out	♥ 2	Looks really cool and plays well. I just couldn't get very far due to it being so difficult. Never got much longer than the first time you encounter bats. I think it's so difficult due to the enemies coming at you very fast and unpredictably, and your attack is kind of slow with a cooldown. I almost always took some damage when I encountered a enemy. Kind of annoying as I would have liked to see more of the game.
May 4 13:53:44	46h 33m	The Burrow	♥ 0	Very cool game. While playing it I wondered how it related to the theme but then there was the revelation at the end that made it make sense. Good job! The game is very beautiful and it feels like your playing a painting. The sound and music is also very good and it all adds up to a very atmospheric chill game. I enjoyed playing it!
May 4 14:05:20	11m 36s	Path of the Rabbit	♥ 0	Really fun and addicting game! Very cool concept! It's a lot harder than it looks.
May 5 10:21:16	20h 15m	A Perfectly Lovely Expedition	♥ 3	Cool puzzle game! I enjoyed it! Like others already have pointed out, the icons could have been clearer. It was hard to know what each item was, and because of that figure out what each item would do. It also wasn't really clear what to do in the beginning, so some way of pointing the player in the right direction at the start would have been a nice addition. The art style of the game was nice and retro and the music added to the mood of the game. Well done!
May 5 10:41:16	20m 00s	Interstellar Botanist	♥ 1	Interesting game with a cool concept! I was slightly confused as to what to do in the beginning. I didn't have time to learn the game before I died the first time I played it. Great humor and the voiced AI (lol 😄 ) was a great addition. The sound was generally very good!
May 5 10:59:32	18m 16s	Humanity Simulator	♥ 3	Very interesting and different concept. Like others have said, I think it was a little disorienting and hard to navigate when driving over the hard edges of the world. Other than that, I enjoyed playing it, and it's also a good comment on how we are destroying our planet!
May 5 11:19:12	19m 40s	Asteroid Hopper	♥ 2	Really fun game! I spent way too long on the last level and almost gave up until my brother solved it for me xD In other words, I think the level of difficulty was good! You also did a great job of introducing the new mechanics to the game. The graphic style is very beautiful and clean. Overall I think it's very well polished and fun game, and I wish there was more levels! Well done!
May 5 11:27:29	8m 17s	Little Scout	♥ 3	Cool idea, just which there was more to it. The game is holding your hand through everything there is and you don't get any opportunities to experiment and solve the puzzles your self. The concept has potential and I would love to see it get made to a proper game.
May 5 11:32:56	5m 27s	Ninja-Vu	♥ 2	The humor is nice, but it's a little bit annoying that the guards can see you through the walls. Other than that it's a nice little stealth game.
May 5 13:51:39	2h 18m	Rock my Ship	♥ 2	Challenging game! I think my ship almost was complete, and then it was hit by a meteor :( Really enjoyed it, but I found the build controls to be kind of unresponsive. It wasn't really clear when you was building successfully.
May 6 09:36:57	19h 45m	Twin Jet Miner	♥ 3	Fun version of a tower defense game! Exactly what you were defending could perhaps have been made clearer. I was a little confused as to if I was supposed to defend all the doors or just the door farthest down.The frame rate also started to drop a bit for me after a while. Other than that, it's a very enjoyable game with cool and different art style, and the music and sound was good as well!
May 6 10:55:01	1h 18m	Flight Club	♥ 1	It feels like a very clean and polished game and I enjoyed playing it. I think it's a little bit too difficult in the beginning, and it gets very hectic very quickly. Other than that I think it was a great entry with cool art style and good fitting music and sound. Great name as well! :)
May 6 11:12:34	17m 33s	Tiny Venture	♥ 0	Kind of chill survival game. I enjoyed building my own little farm. The only recommendation that I have is that it could maybe have been made clearer that you get different resources from different plants, so I agree with as some others have mentioned, that a tutorial of some kind would have been nice. The sound is very interesting and different and ads to the feeling of being on an alien planet. Good job!
May 6 13:13:51	2h 01m	The Seesaw Redemption	♥ 1	I really like the look of this game. A different take on the theme! Very nice! The music is really good as well! The only problem I found was that the game felt somewhat floaty due to the low gravity. Also it was possible to just jump past the spikes, which felt like it wasn't supposed to be possible.
May 6 13:43:37	29m 46s	Fixville	♥ 2	Very nice intro cinematic that built up the story in a intriguing way. It was also a very cool concept and implementation of the theme. Reminded me a little bit of Toy Story! :) The problem I had was that the walking distances were too long, which made it a bit tedious to play. Other than that I think it was good!
