Apr 24 06:13:45		Smalltrek	♥ 3	This is a lovely well done game! It appears I've hit a bug on the mac version where I can only play the first level. Font is slightly hard to read, but sound and graphics and even retro text is really cute. Lovely game! Edit: I've played a bit more after the bug fix, and it's still an awesome game. I got to level 8 or 10 or something before realizing it's midnight on a day before work. Good job! Sorry I haven't gotten to the end yet though.
Apr 25 23:10:31	40h 56m	Cosmic Cleaner	♥ 1	This is a lovely game and well polished for 48 hours! I am quite impressed!
May 2 18:10:50	163h 00m	You Are World.	♥ 1	This is a beautiful game! You didn't provide a mac download, so I downloaded the Unity source and hit "play" in the editor. When I got to the "Destroy it. Press space", pressing space caused a spinning beach ball and I had to force quit Unity. I suppose running from source might lead to unexpected bugs! Also, I don't know how the guys with fancy video cards are getting on, but with my onboard graphics, this game runs pretty slow. Having mentioned all that, this is lovely! I love the concept, the art is awesome, I didn't notice until much later that you can zoom in and out to peer at the "life", and I love all the ideas contained within! Beautiful!
May 9 19:58:28	169h 47m	Every Man's Sky	♥ 0	I will try it if you make the "more versions coming soon" as advertised!
May 9 20:07:38	9m 10s	Globe Trot	♥ 5	This game is awesome! I love the idea. The camera is very difficult. The controls are very difficult too, but I figured it out, you are trying to have a relative to the ship control, which means if I go down, then I'll turn around again and again. I know this is a normal control scheme (I've used it many times myself!) but I found it a little difficult in this game. As someone else said, I was really wishing the score was still on the screen when the "Game Over" sign came up. This is an awesome work and although the flaws are big it is still very impressive for a weekend!
May 9 20:15:15	7m 37s	Super Smash Globes	♥ 1	A very cute game! And you found time to do character customization!
May 9 20:35:45	20m 30s	Space Brawls	♥ 1	This is an interesting game, the controls are not what I'd expect (right to shoot, up/down to strengthen power of shot), but still pretty cool! The random obstacles seemed to win me more games than actually shooting the other guy out of the sky did.
May 10 00:17:32	3h 41m	Tiny Battlehex	♥ 0	Well done! I thought a lot of the things Scriptorum also thought, but this was a nice job in the LD time! I agree with Scriptorum, slow down spawn rate, "send half" should be something else, and audio feedback when sending troops would be really nice.
May 10 08:36:57	8h 19m	The Pendant World	♥ 1	:'(
May 11 17:36:55	32h 59m	Djinn Duel	♥ 1	Quite a cute game! As others have said it does seem to be a guessing game of what your opponent will do. It might be more fun against humans when you can try bluffing or hinting where you might or might not go, or giving squares bonuses or penalties or both so that there are places you might guess where they can go or not go. Lovely work!
May 14 20:33:27	74h 56m	Timmy and the Snowflake	♥ 1	I just wrote a game with bad controls, so I can't complain too much, but controls definitely need some work. The story/background was quite nice. While jumping around is definitely something used for challenge in some games, I found this not challenging at all. But without some better controls I would not want to attempt more challenging jumps. Nice work!
May 14 20:45:34	12m 07s	Lalao	♥ 1	This is beautiful, the voice acting is amazingly well done, all around very well done. Edited to add: first game I've given top score to audio in this LD! Second edit: web version didn't work for me?
May 14 20:56:39	11m 05s	Inside Inc.	♥ 1	Over all I'm very impressed! In another age, this was my favorite kind of game! The controls are awesome, though I couldn't manage with my trackpad, but when I plugged in my mouse it was very smooth and lovely to play with. The other thing I note is you have multiple types of enemies, something I always plan to do during my game jams and never manage to find time for!
May 14 21:06:20	9m 41s	Earth Quest	♥ 1	Like everyone else, I'm confused on what I should be doing. Maybe graphics of people getting squished by trees, or snorting oil, or some other way to provide feedback of what I'm doing is or isn't working. Also it took me a long time before I realized I was trying to buy stuff but didn't have the money to do so. It sounded like a click! Interesting ideas, first time I've seen a "clicker" type game in LD!
May 14 21:47:33	41m 13s	Train World	♥ 0	Nicely done!
May 14 22:01:11	13m 38s	No One's Planet	♥ 2	This was a fun cute thing! As others have said, I've played telnet based games in the past but it's been a long time. The game itself seemed like there was no game (unless I played so perfectly I didn't even see obstacles?). I did wonder if the space time tears were just bugs you decided not to fix :p I loved the humor. Nice work!
May 14 22:53:50	52m 39s	Wrong Delivery	♥ 1	Very nice! Very well polished game!
May 16 23:32:08	48h 38m	Dung Beetle	♥ 2	I had no idea Unreal Engine made mac executables! This was a lovely cute game! I love the idea and despite that there are so many other games that need reviews I played this one anyway!
May 16 23:39:29	7m 21s	Newbie God	♥ 3	The game play is simple and short, but hilarious and sweet. The audio is awful and I notice you didn't have it in your scoring section. The exaggerated emotions of the characters plus the ridiculous god powers (when at first only "Wrath of God" seems to be what you can use) really make the game. I love it.
May 16 23:53:53	14m 24s	STEEL GEAR CHAOS	♥ 1	It took me longer than I should admit to learn that I need to save some movement for attacking after moving everywhere. Once I figured that out, it was pretty simple. Interesting idea! Definitely could be fleshed out more! Lovely implementation!
May 17 00:10:39	16m 46s	Snowglobe	♥ 1	Lovely game, though a bit easy in its current form I think! It also took me forever to figure out what stone was for (I had to quit/restart the game to be able to read the directions again, and then I realized my tower had never taken damage!). (I did not keep playing to level 15, reading comments, perhaps it gets harder.) Very nice work!
May 17 03:42:40	3h 32m	Toy Run	♥ 0	Woo fun! I learned the controls the hard way (I should have read comments first!). I didn't figure out sliding until the last level. Background audio is excellent, squeaking bunny is annoying but actually fits with the theme. Art is lovely. PS: TimBeaudet, you haven't been playing any games? Is that what the statistics tell me?
May 17 03:57:06	14m 26s	The Tipping Point	♥ 1	Definitely an interesting game, but it was hard to follow everyone in the whole game and I certainly did not play until I made 1000 friends. Quite impressive!
May 17 04:03:02	5m 56s	Sticky Keys	♥ 1	Excellent presentation, the graphics and visuals work well together, the clickings of the keyboard work well with that. Very well done!
May 18 06:17:07	26h 14m	Reduction	♥ 1	Very cute, very cute ending. I tried collecting all the dots after I got to the ending screen, and I'm not sure if the effect I saw was supposed to happen or a happy accident or a not so happy accident. Either way this is a very nice little work!
May 18 06:38:16	21m 09s	Desktop Adventure	♥ 2	Very cute! Fun little game. I found the controls a little frustrating but I'd say you did much better than I did with making a platformer! I found the "Help" and "Team" buttons not working after I had started playing, at a couple points when I got stuck I started clicking around things and desktop widgets did not behave as expected. Another random suggestion I'd make is to have more variety in file names. Very nice!
May 18 07:12:46	34m 30s	My World	♥ 1	I loved the art! I played through once, I'm not sure if there are multiple endings or not but when I went to play again to see other options... well I played through once... 🙄 Hopefully that's enough to give a review. I slightly disagree with OccultOne, although you are blatant with the "drug use" concept, a violent/druggie father can be very over-the-top. Lovely work!
