May 1 04:34:49		Balance	♥ 1	Neat visuals and concept. Once I realized what was going on with the gameplay, it became a bit too easy to balance. Also, Eve never wanted to hang around. :( Overall though, I did get a few minutes of fun discovering what's what.
May 1 04:47:42	12m 53s	Snoozle Pooz	♥ 2	Cute and heartwarming. The music fits well, I kind of like it. I wish there was more I could do with the adorable cat.
May 1 05:08:01	20m 19s	Anthill	♥ 1	The 3D graphics are nice and I love the illustrations, but the UI could use some work. Interesting gameplay, but I was getting raided by red ants before I really had a chance realize what I was doing/build anything significant. It'll probably be a lot of fun if it gets polished up.
May 1 05:27:23	19m 22s	Becky's very very Small and TOTALLY not mundane World	♥ 1	The graphics are quite charming. I was a little confused what caused the timer to reset, as I didn't notice an obvious number of tasks that reset it. It also reset even when you do the typing task wrong. Or was that kind of a joke on how meaningless those emails were? Overall it's a cute game with a nice feel going for it.
May 1 06:10:21	42m 58s	Flotsam	♥ 0	I really enjoyed playing this game, nice job to the creators! I love the gameplay concept, though it did seem to take a while for the market to ramp up. Once I got the upgraded boat the game became a lot more fun. One thing I'd suggest changing is the font for the market. It's somewhat hard to read. Overall though a really fun game. Would be neat to see a more developed version of this.
May 2 17:12:40	35h 02m	The Epic of Gilbert	♥ 1	I like the overall looks of the game, and the goldfish animations are very cute. I’m a little baffled though that goldfish ponders his days in the ocean when they’re freshwater fish, but maybe I’m just nitpicking. I didn’t realize the seaweed was dangerous in the first mini-game. I’m not too sure how you make seaweed look threatening though. I really do like the overall theme and short story it’s trying to convey.
May 2 17:18:48	6m 08s	NekomimiAtsume	♥ 1	Adorable art and a good start to a game. Would love to see it once more features are added.
May 2 17:30:08	11m 20s	DNAPet	♥ 2	Interesting concept, but a few issues with execution. Like someone else said, it was hard to tell what was going on with the incubation period. It's a bit long and tedious, but any indication that the incubation is progressing could help. I also had issues with the screen blacking out on and off once the creatures did hatch. While overall it's a neat game idea, it does need some polishing.
May 2 19:06:05	1h 35m	Bacteria Fighter	♥ 0	I like the idea of playing on a microscopic level. As someone mentioned, the enemies could use some variation in movement. The audio was a bit loud. It is a neat little arcade game for 48 hours.
May 2 19:26:28	20m 23s	The Spoiled Prince	♥ 2	Probably the nicest graphics I've seen on a game so far. The music is charming and the crying sound effect is funny. I did find it a bit difficult to catch the prince mid-air, but I might just be bad at platformers. Overall a really cute and polished game.
May 2 20:29:25	1h 02m	Isolation Island	♥ 1	I do like the idea of a survival game with a maze. Gives a little more purpose than "craft and don't starve". Combat was too easy and the food didn't seem to be necessary. Took me about 7 minutes to finish. The graphics definitely leave something to be desired, especially the text box. A lot of gameplay functions were fit into the game in a short time and that seems pretty impressive. With some work it could become a pretty neat game.
May 3 03:06:21	6h 36m	The World At Your Feet	♥ 1	Really neat concept. I had a fair bit of fun playing it. I'm a bit sad that the character didn't walk over small steps in height very well. I kept trying to make a gradual mound, but the character would get caught on edges that I didn't think were protruding very much. The graphics look mostly polished. The music is a little cheery for my taste, but it works.
May 3 04:42:49	1h 36m	I Just Wanted Groceries	♥ 2	I love the title and concept of the game. I made it through after my 4th try. Simple, but appropriate graphics. Overall a short, but well polished game.
May 3 19:14:37	14h 31m	Keeplanet	♥ 2	Really neat concept with a lot of potential. Unfortunately there's no feedback at the moment to know what side of the planet is too heavy. Like the other commenter suggested, maybe make the core shift towards the heavy side. Alternatively maybe some arrows or other graphics could rotate along the edge of the planet to indicate weight. The graphics and audio fit the theme of the game well. The UI is a bit lackluster. The directions could use a different font, as it's a bit hard to read all caps. I would really like to see this game polished as it could be a lot of fun.
May 3 20:46:44	1h 32m	Microorganism	♥ 0	A fairly simple game arcade like game. The microorganism constantly goes right, not sure if this is intentional or not. The graphics are probably the strong point of this game. Nice and simple, but consistent throughout the graphics and UI. Maybe with some work this could become an entertaining little arcade game.
May 4 04:07:09	7h 20m	ATLANTIS	♥ 3	I'm the artist for Cosmic Cleaner, thanks to @occultone for streaming our game! So I played your game and it's definitely one of the most complicated games I've see so far. A very ambitious game concept for 72 hours. As some of the comments have mentioned there is some execution flaws. I'm having issues with characters moving when I go to click 'end turn'. I also can't seem to progress any farther after getting the scout stuck in the water. I can't use any actions and I don't see a way to pass their turn. In general there does need to be more UI and feedback on what's going on. For example, I can't tell if I can only use an ability if I haven't moved yet or if it's bugged. I do really like the visuals, though maybe an option to zoom out a little would be nice. The fancy looking font is interesting but a little too thin to easily read in the UI. I love the music, but the sound effects are oddly arcade like. I would love to see this game once it gets polished up. It has a lot of potential, it just seems to be a lot to do for a weekend jam.
May 4 17:52:42	13h 45m	Dark Little World	♥ 1	I was actually pleasantly surprised playing this game. I think it's a great concept for a puzzle game. While it wasn't a long game, it was easy to understand how to play and what was there was nice. The graphics are simple, but they look polished and cohesive. I did not notice any audio. And with a game where you can't see much, that could be a huge element to the game. Things like footsteps that change in sound depending on what material/platform you're on could be neat. Maybe certain objects could have sound. There's a lot of potential for audio in this game if that's a direction you're interested in taking it. It would be great to see this game after some more work has been put into it!
May 6 22:13:03	52h 20m	Fish Tank Simulator	♥ 0	Unfortunately I did not find out anything about the mysterious hand. Except that he likes over stocking fish bowls. Not sure how a battling mechanic would do in this type of game, but it would be nice to see depth added to this game. The art is alright. I wish there was at least some variation in dialogue. Some very violent fish indeed.
May 13 23:42:53	169h 29m	Solar Smash	♥ 1	Interesting game concept! It took a minute for me to realize what the goal of the game was, but after that I was able to have some fun with it. The leftover planet pieces being destructive is pretty neat. The graphics while simple are bright and colorful. I didn't really notice if there was background music, was it maybe too quiet? Overall a fun concept that could use some more content and UI.
May 19 20:11:32	140h 28m	Bedroom Fishing	♥ 1	The game mechanic of the hook is pretty interesting. The controls feel a little clunky, but adequate considering I'm using a keyboard. I wonder if it might translate better to a joystick. The visuals overall look fairly good, but a little inconsistent in style(the mix of 2d and 3d clashes a little in certain parts).The audio is somewhat jarring at times(especially the eel). The text box showing the different fish/items in the game is too large and looks quite pixely due to that. This could be a neat little casual game, but it does need some polish put into it. Pretty decent for 72 hours though!
