Aug 2 06:53:18		Displaced	♥ 1	Nice game, I like the story so far, and the sandstorm mechanic. I wish there were more details to the world tho, like rocks laying around or the light posts along the road. The sound would really help too, at least for the shooting.
Aug 2 09:00:00	2h 06m	Power Misplacement	♥ 2	Nice game, I like the upgrades and overall mechanics. But I'm not sure if there were supposed to be any other enemies besides the initial two, I wish there were more. It took me some time to figure out the gun-shield switch thing and that to use a shield I need an upgrade. On the graphics note, if you make pixel art game, it is generally advised to use pixels of the same size, as this improves the overall looks.
Aug 2 09:23:40	23m 40s	Power manager	♥ 0	Tutorial AND a pause button are both really nice additions. Gameplay is interesting, I think it would be cool to add some sort of upgrades to it. Or like if the happy face is there for long, then the power depletes slower from the buildings. Also the tutorial said that during the blackout you can't add energy to the building until it's fixed, but I think I still could do that.
Aug 2 11:28:06	2h 04m	GREED	♥ 1	I like the eerie atmosphere, and graphics look nice. Would be better if there was a pose or two for when the character jumps. Gameplay is interesting, but I didn't get how to open or what to do with the door at the top.
Aug 2 11:41:08	13m 02s	Displaceable source	♥ 0	Wow, great game, especially for the 48 hours. Atmospheric and visually pleasing too.
Aug 2 11:56:23	15m 15s	Pocket Drain	♥ 1	Nice little game, I like its retro style. Although I got overwhelmed by arrows on the 3rd wave already, so they might need tweaking (or maybe it's just me).
Aug 2 12:32:28	36m 05s	OFFSPRING	♥ 0	Interesting game, pity you didn't finish it. I like the graphics part, but camera motion is really weird, seems cool at first but gets boring as the time goes on.
Aug 2 12:43:46	11m 18s	Hope Glider	♥ 1	Great game! I like the cutscenes and the overall story. Although once I got ahold of controls, game started to seem extra easy.
Aug 3 05:54:43	17h 10m	Power rush	♥ 0	You probably should set your link to "public" so we can download it.
Aug 3 07:33:31	1h 38m	All Systems Online	♥ 1	I watched this game being played on stream and its really fun. I like the ship building mechanics.
Aug 3 08:09:52	36m 21s	Float	♥ 1	I enjoyed playing it, nice mechanic too. Although the spikes had rather big hitboxes that led to me dying even when I was not supposed to.
Aug 3 10:54:09	2h 44m	Hobo Hero	♥ 0	Unplayable for me for some reason: the game keeps hanging on screen changes (first after the comic, then after the companion selection). (and why does the unpacked game weigh almost 4 gb?)
Aug 4 05:50:56	18h 56m	Exo	♥ 0	I like the power stealing mechanics. Pixel art and animation are really nice too. I wish there was a button that would restart the game, or the auto restart when power runs out. Otherwise the game has potential!
Aug 4 06:42:04	51m 08s	Power Draw	♥ 2	Movement feels smooth, I like it. Otherwise, some health indicator would be nice. And if mouse is used anyway, why not bind shooting to it too, instead of space bar.
Aug 4 07:05:33	23m 29s	Removal of Insidious Box	♥ 1	Gameplay is nice, enjoyed that part. Graphics are ok, but the screen looked jaggy when moving escpecially when I moved my mouse up and down. Music is cool but sound effects are annoying sometimes (like that lasting high pitch sound when a green box is near you). It would help the game if you included some story too and the connection with theme as it is not quite obvious. Otherwise good job!
Aug 4 07:36:32	30m 59s	Running out of fuel	♥ 1	There should be some way to restart the game (button press or auto restart after "you lost" screen), and the gaps should be somewhat distinguishable (they look just as shadows from walls). Other than that the game was probably not really finished, but you probably did your best, so good job anyway!
Aug 4 07:55:18	18m 46s	Gastric Hell	♥ 1	When I finally found the marble I was kinda happy but kinda not because the ending screen was not really promising :D Gameplay is nice, I like that it's fast paced. Text screens at the start were too fast to read tho (at least for me). Monsters can be walked around - is that intentional? I feel that if they weren't, the game would be much harder, so it is probably intentional. Also would be nice to see character's position on the mini map. Graphics and sound are great, really bring the atmosphere (of devil's insides).
Aug 5 05:04:48	21h 09m	Stranded	♥ 0	Could you include the controls for the game? I didn't really find a way to jump and/or get rid of the text screen below. Other than that, graphics look pretty nice.
Aug 5 05:23:10	18m 22s	ROCKET	♥ 0	I like simple graphics the game has. Movement sometimes is too fast, making it not an easy task to board on the ship. As for the energy, I didn't feel like there was any need to keep it at level: I happily sprayed the enemies without any energy while standing in one place. Overall the game has potential, it just needs some polish.
Aug 5 07:39:20	2h 16m	He Who Runs the US of A	♥ 1	Great game, feels really finished even if it's only 2/5 of what you wanted to make. Gameplay gives me flashbacks to south park's minigames D: (I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing). On the other note, music track stopped after some time (I assume you didn't make it loopable or something). And it would help to get some clarification on each stat (readme file only explains endurance). (and just in case you didn't know, if you want more people to see and rate your game, you should play and rate other people's games, as it will increase your score and give you more chance to be seen through search)
Aug 5 07:45:58	6m 38s	Scared in the dark	♥ 0	When I try to launch your game, I get an error: "The registry refers to a non-existent Java Runtime Environment installation or the runtime is corrupted." Hope this helps.
Aug 5 07:58:58	13m 00s	Lew	♥ 0	Really nice game! Interesting mechanics, would be cool to see some more complex levels to be solved using those. Music is fitting and simple. Animations on the main character are great too. On the other note, I don't think there was any need to make 2 separate buttons for charge/discharge (but maybe that could be used on the later levels). And I didn't know what to do at this point: 111.png The ledge is too high to jump and there is not much else to do there (maybe I was missing something, but if I was, some clarification in-game for new players would help).
Aug 5 08:16:26	17m 28s	Super Funk Kaiju Cricket	♥ 0	Dunno what the heck was that, but I enjoyed it :D UI needs some work, maybe buttons highlight when user mouses over them. When I entered a name to submit score, clicking "save score" didn't do anything. Other than that, good job.
Aug 5 08:21:42	5m 16s	FILEFICTION	♥ 2	Nice little story, I wish there was more to it, like some subplot or the viruses Mary mentioned.
Aug 5 08:34:11	12m 29s	The end of heat	♥ 0	Nice music and art tho. When there is 2 animals on one spot, when I click it, I get the bottom animal, not the top one (that can be annoying).
Aug 5 08:58:59	24m 48s	Welcome Nightmare	♥ 0	Nice spooky game. I like the main character art and sound effects. Sometimes I get stuck on the walls or corners, something with collisions ain't right.
Aug 7 04:32:30	43h 33m	-simov	♥ 1	Nice game with some weird aesthetic :D I like that it has a really big level where you can get lost, but I didn't really get what was my goal there. Some sort of ending would be great, like maybe kill some boss-guy. Music got repetitive after a bit. I didn't really get what was the point of pick-ups aside of the score, as the energy replenishes by itself. You could try making it unreplenishable, same as health. All in all, good job!
