Jul 31 11:44:15 Mana Manager ♥ 1 I really like the sweatbead the mage gets when you're out of mana :D Perfectly encapsulates that "oh shit" - moment.
Jul 31 12:00:33 16m 18s Powerless Miner ♥ 2 I was also confused at first when the screen turned dark but when I realized playing in the dark was part of the game I really liked it! Makes you plan your steps like Aterlamia said.
Jul 31 12:51:20 50m 47s PowerOS 1.0 ♥ 0 I really liked the emails! Especially the spam :D And the humor and aesthetics in general were very well done. I couldn't figure out how to attach files though and I guess the wallet is broken because it said I had 0 money when the end of game screen showed the correct earnings?
Jul 31 13:11:16 19m 56s PRAY FOR TESLA ♥ 2 Took me a while to figure out that the Absorber (the reflector thing?) didn't hurt the enemies but once I did it was a really cool mechanic!
Jul 31 15:39:28 2h 28m Computer Crisis ♥ 1 Really nice humor and music! Just had a grin on my face the whole time after the intro. The only nitpick I could make is that the intro was just a tad too long compared to the amount of things to do on the desktop but even that's probably just my own impatience.
Aug 2 18:53:58 51h 14m Olafshot ♥ 0 I love the expression of the main character and the tiny arena! Could have maybe used more feedback from hits and running out of energy, I didn't always know if I was doing or taking damage. Fixing that and adding a little balancing would make this a pretty solid entry, especially considering the language and library.
Aug 2 19:05:33 11m 35s Mars Mystery ♥ 1 Very nice atmosphere! I got lost once and I guess turned around bumping in the dark in the second level but didn't mind at all. I can see how some people would find that and the controls frustrating but I liked that it forced me to pay attention to the level layout and the sonar. Also, is the 2003 maximum energy level a reference to something?
Aug 2 19:23:41 18m 08s Terminal Attraction ♥ 1 That was incredibly hilarious! Extremely well done humor! I did't mind the lack of consequences; the interactivity was good enough for me. Maybe some really basic checks in the textboxes where you can type things would be nice but even that I would consider a nice bonus than expected. The only nitpicks I have that some of the text blocks were a bit hard to read in fullscreen with such a small font and long sentences and I would have liked an option not to have to choose every option in a conversation after the initial line.
Aug 2 19:39:47 16m 06s Robots from 1991 ♥ 1 Love the concept, even though I also think it didn't fit the theme. I found the music a little bit annoying when wandering around the level with the repetitiveness, but that's to be expected in a jam and other than that, it was very solid. It's a shame I can't vote on the graphics. Is it because you used some premade assets? Because if not, you should definitely enable that, I think you'd get a very good grade!
Aug 2 19:52:37 12m 50s Grid Connect ♥ 1 Really cool concept! I also liked the clean graphical style. It seems that the levels are too slow though unless I missed some way of speeding them up. It feels like you spend a lot of time just waiting for a node to appear. The appearing nodes also seem a bit too random. The idea and execution is solid though, with a little balancing of the speeds and random placement I think it could be very addictive! I also appreciate the prompt bug fix and the versions for multiple platforms.
Aug 2 20:05:30 12m 53s Wreckage ♥ 0 Man, what a blast from the past. Brought me straight back my childhood in the 90's, looks like something that could have come straight from a Finnish shareware cd. Especially the backgrounds and the game over screen. I don't know if that was your intention, but you absolutely nailed it. And I mean that in the very best way possible! Even the .dll problems remind me of that time :D Although for me it ran perfectly. I also really appreciated the gamepad support and I liked the grappling hook once I got used to it. I guess the only real problems are the technical ones, but as I said, I didn't have any. Thanks for making this game!
