May 3 19:30:54		liftoff	♥ 1	Hurray, well done! Loved the sound effects and background music. So jealous, you have sound effects and background music :). Graphics were good fun, was a bit confused about having 'infinite' fuel. Took me a while to realize it cost me Energon. Bob the sentient plant is my favourite, btw. Impressed at the whole physics thing you have going on, with the planest having a gravitational pull, and all! Cool stuff!
May 3 19:38:40	7m 46s	Keeplanet	♥ 2	Wow, such crisp and smooth graphics! Sadly, my planet swung around like a drunk boxer and eventually burned to a crip. It had really nice houses, though. Very well done, although if I'd improve one thing it'd be to give me some kind of indication what the weight is of some of the stuff I'm putting down on the planet as a player, to allow me to make some more strategic choices. Cool stuff, keep it up!
May 3 19:43:44	5m 04s	EAT	♥ 0	Very pretty, moves smooth, solid core gameplay loop. The offscreen lasers are a bit iffy, though. Destroying planets and ships is great fun!
May 3 19:51:17	7m 33s	Troubles on Colony 39	♥ 3	Well done! Loved the cute little sprites. If I'd improve anything, I'd add a click-to-continue button to go through the dialogue faster, since different people read at different speeds.
May 3 20:03:50	12m 33s	Little Remains	♥ 2	Great atmosphere, loved it! The artwork is gorgeous, I couldn't quite believe someone modelled that for a Ludum Dare game! Cool puzzle, finding the pigs :). I actually think the 'hasty' backgrounds work very well for giving a dream-like, surreal atmosphere! Very cool, would play more!
May 3 20:11:00	7m 10s	Space Raiders	♥ 3	Oh wow, great animation and lighting. The shooting has a really good 'weight' to it and the sound effects are very nice. Getting out of the pit... uhm.. I couldn't do that? :)
May 7 15:36:22	91h 25m	Strangeness	♥ 2	Well done on the audio, sfx and animation! Took me a bit to figure out rocks don't kill. :) Great puzzle design, quite good!
May 7 15:39:49	3m 27s	Space Colonist's Tiny World	♥ 0	Dear NASA: please do not send any more cactii into space. They... they bounce around a lot and they cause a lot of problems. ;) Seriously, good fun! I clicked a lot to get the battery in, and got lucky! The sound effect was fun, but the loop may be a little bit much ;).
May 7 15:46:08	6m 19s	FREEDUMB!	♥ 2	Lovely sound effects! Very well done indeed. Very simple, clean feedback loop, very good for a ludum dare game. Would be good to have a fail state, though. Or maybe there was one and I just didn't notice ^^;.
May 7 15:51:17	5m 09s	Alchemist's Prison	♥ 1	Well done on sticking with a colour palette, even though the ingredients could have used a dash of colour for recognition. Quite good. I really missed a click-to-continue thing for the text, though.
May 7 15:56:16	4m 59s	Chroma	♥ 2	Solid gameplay, great sound effects! The ambient music gave a very nice Hotline Miami vibe, and that's great praise! Well done.
May 7 15:59:23	3m 07s	This Game Will Die Eventually, and So Will You	♥ 1	So, either I didn't get it, or it's a cute message board thing?
May 20 11:14:56	307h 15m	Place Them All	♥ 1	Wow! That was really good! I love the short gameplay loop, like the lovechild of Reus and one of those clicky-grow games. The music and sfx was well done, and I can really see this thing becoming a mobile game with levels, powers, etcetera. If I was to be forced to give some criticism, I would say that I'd like to see a little bit of explanation of why a race is attacking, why it succeeds or fails, and why the effects are as they are so I can learn.
May 20 11:21:38	6m 42s	Tiny Hero	♥ 2	If I could rate you on sound, I would have given that four stars! Loved the little bit-loop, it reminded me of Lufia! :D At first, I thought this was a real-time game and got really stressed! Once I realized it wasn't real-time I could really appreciate what you've made and quite enjoyed it! I got to wave four, and really liked figuring out what to upgrade! If you refine this, I think you've got a really good little game that'd be great for facebook or mobile. Really liked it!
May 20 11:30:40	9m 02s	Little Big Square	♥ 1	That was surprisingly fun! I am impressed with the amount of different gameplay elements you put in. And the amount of levels! Great idea to proritize gameplay over graphics, I really didn't mind the simple graphics and I was pleasantly surprised by the ever increasing gameplay, it was a real discovery every level! Effective use of sound effects, too!
May 20 11:39:17	8m 37s	Angelic Design	♥ 1	Sorry bro, took me a long while to review, but finally did! Really see some potential here. Like other reviewers said, there's a _lot_ happening under the hood, but we don't get to see it. Showing us some of that good stuff will make us as players very happy. Lovely interface, some decent background musics, that's all good. Making the steps more discrete really worked better then the more analog version. There's potential here.
May 20 11:43:47	4m 30s	Hopeless Void	♥ 2	I really like the idea of an inverse resource gathering game, where everything slowly dwindles into nothing-ness. Very well done! Good sound effects, and well done on creating the graphics and sound effects. My main improvement to suggest would be giving the player some more handholds on what's going on, how to play the game. That would improve it quite a bit. Hope to see your next creation at the next dare!
May 20 11:47:59	4m 12s	RoboLand	♥ 0	Lovely graphics and interface design, well done! Good tablet-y game. I did get the robot to float off into space, that got a good laugh :). Enjoy polishing this!
May 20 11:51:59	4m 00s	Still Waters	♥ 0	Impressed by the art and music! I loved that this is a survival game where you control multiple characters! Things went a little bit too fast for me though, since I needed to look after four people! Very good fun, though. If you add some dialogue to those characters, things would really be awesome! I'd love to see more of these really original concepts in Ludum Dares!
