Aug 5 17:06:42 My Kingdom for a Rabbit! ♥ 1 When I remembered the rabbits that had done well in the first round of tests and began to select the winners for the second round I felt interested! When I selected an heir with 10 weeks remaining and read that the kingdom prospered, I felt successful. If you continue to develop this, I'd be curious to read and see a qualification of the success and also of the efficiency of my selection method. It challenged me to design an efficient experiment. How efficient was I?
Aug 5 17:15:50 9m 08s Powerless: Trump Teaches Typing ♥ 1 5 stars! When I typed and kept with the stream for a few seconds I felt excited! If you continue to develop this, when I was overwhelmed after less than a minute I felt dejected. At first I wasn't noticing which word was selected to type.
Aug 5 17:24:51 9m 01s Spacy adventure ♥ 1 5 stars! When I read that each bullet and movement costs power, I conserved shots and moves. If you continue to develop this, when the enemy bullets came so quickly, my reaction time was too slow to dodge.
Aug 5 17:42:50 17m 59s Pipe Trek ♥ 0 When I connected power to a couple of stations I felt excited! When I re-read the instructions and saw I could drag, I felt a bit of hope. If you continue to develop this, I would keep playing if I could complete the easy difficulty. I lost in under a minute.
Aug 5 17:49:28 6m 38s Defend Home: Mars ♥ 1 When I shot ants approaching the green towers, I felt excited! If you continue to develop this, I wasn't clear how to get more ammo. And probably it is my trackpad, but sometimes my camera tilted down toward my feet. Since the enemies are all on the horizontal plane, is there a way I could rotate the camera with the keyboard, such as Q and E keys and fire such as with SPACE?
Aug 5 17:56:21 6m 53s Tiny Warlock ♥ 1 When I clicked to launch sinusoidal fireballs and ran to pickup skulls I felt excited! If you continue to develop this, when I didn't see the edge of the map and walked off I felt uncertain.
Aug 5 18:04:19 7m 58s Powerless Miner ♥ 1 5 stars! When I evaded the bat in the dark and got both of the gold, I felt clever! If you continue to develop this, at first I didn't recognize that I could destroy a gray rock without gold and wasn't clear what the different obstacle icons represented.
Aug 5 18:30:59 26m 40s Torch Boy ♥ 1 When torchlight revealed the door with a keyhole, I felt impressed! If you continue to develop this, I would continue to play if I could survive getting to the first key.
Aug 5 18:42:49 11m 50s Ministry of Synthesis ♥ 1 5 stars! When I inverted a wave and combined it with another wave to open the gate I felt clever! If you continue to develop this, I would play more if I could figure out the fifth puzzle in about a minute.
Aug 5 18:48:06 5m 17s Power or die ♥ 1 When I saw the map and building list, I felt interested. If you continue to develop this, I built a building that cost 200 twice and then didn't know what to do.
Aug 5 18:56:14 8m 08s Delivery Drain ♥ 1 Innovative jam! When I looked at the map and 20% low battery warning appeared I smiled! If you continue to develop this, I went to a building marked W on the map, picked up goods and then saw another place on the map. I wasn't clear if this was a drop-off destination. Before seeing that, I mistakenly thought the W was a drop-off point and I already had cargo.
Aug 5 22:16:49 3h 20m MotherBoard ♥ 1 5 stars! When I threw Ctrl Alt and finally Del to blow up a big bot, I felt amazed! If you continue to develop this, when I moved on my trackpad I felt a little awkward. Since the motion is only on a horizontal plane, I could imagine feeling comfortable with keyboard input for all movement, shooting and throwing.
Aug 9 01:56:58 75h 40m Scale of Life ♥ 2 5-stars! When I saw the outer circle about to touch the inner circle and pressed space to repel the outer circle, I felt focused. When my girlfriend and I heard the music, we felt relaxed. Wonderful look and feel. If you continue to develop this, for me first few attempts I pressed space and wasn't sure what happened. I didn't recognize the outer circle as a threat to the inner circle.
Aug 9 02:05:29 8m 31s Lantern ♥ 1 When I pointed the flashlight at the wraiths, I felt eerie tension. If you continue to develop this, I would keep playing if I felt I could pace a strategy for recharging to survive longer. I appreciate the randomness of the wraith timing yet at times I didn't know how I could recharge in time. Could just be my lack of skill. My highest score was 34.
Aug 9 02:14:41 9m 12s No Sorcerer's Sky ♥ 1 When I bought a hangar I felt interested. If you continue to develop this, I would continue to play if I could figure out how to buy or produce equipment. My inventory showed 0 equipment.
Aug 9 02:27:13 12m 32s THIRST ♥ 1 5-stars! When I placed tiles to explore, I felt interested in this cute world with adorable critters. If you continue to develop this, I would keep playing if I knew how to get myself out of a dead end draw of tiles in the first level.
Aug 12 15:36:16 85h 09m Mad Trax ♥ 1 5 stars! When I clicked a crate to add a car, I felt excited! The moment when I would continue to play is when I ran out of power, I wasn't sure what I could have done to conserve power. I saw the battery percent, which I interpreted as the amount of power the unit had. I increased this percent on the units but my overall battery points then dropped to zero.
Aug 12 15:48:51 12m 35s Night Driver ♥ 1 5 stars! When I drove through the lightning bolt and saw the explosion I felt excited! The moment when I would continue to play is I wasn't sure what I could do to pass more than the slowest car. The cars got ahead of me and I wasn't feeling feedback on if I was driving faster or slower, since I was dead last most of the time and didn't see cars to indicate my relative pace.
Aug 12 15:56:15 7m 24s Gradient Descent ♥ 0 When I intercepted light trails, I felt interested! The moment when I would continue to play is after collecting several light trails and seeing the progress bar at the bottom increase to three pips and reading 12/12 change to 10/10. I didn't figure out how I could change those pips or ratios. I wasn't entirely sure that intercepting light trails was a tactic for changing those metrics.
Aug 12 16:03:14 6m 59s Space Dog ♥ 1 5 stars! When I swapped batteries in the cryo-chamber, I felt heroic! When I bounced around the ship, I felt a bit giddy that the humans had left a dog in charge of their survival. The moment when I would continue to play is after the ship was destroyed, I wasn't sure how I could repair the sparkling reactor or activate shields in the helm.
Aug 13 01:16:04 9h 12m HE BEAT HER. ♥ 1 6 stars for graphics! When I tried an inappropriate input and it was accepted I felt a bit giddy. I would continue to play this if I had a clue about how to uncover more facts about the case and which words mapped to which actions.
Aug 19 04:26:39 147h 10m CowPow! ♥ 1 When I picked up a cow and carried it a quarter of the way up the screen I felt hopeful! If you continue to develop this, I would continue to play if I saw a way to carry the cow farther up the screen. I tried slowing down my ascent yet the cow gravitated back to earth.
Aug 23 02:36:26 94h 09m VUEL ♥ 0 Well-deserved! When I dodged enemies and got power and listened to the charming music with the bouncy bots, I felt joyful.
Aug 23 03:06:09 29m 43s Armless Kairo ♥ 0 Your amazing atmosphere and tight timing reminded me of Prince of Persia! In 48 hours?!?
