		Commies!	Very nicely polished game with good graphics and sound. One of the best entries in the compo.
		Tekram-S (v1.1)	Ditch the Comic Sans.. :) Quite innovative and somewhat fun as well. But I don't want to play the harder levels since I feel that they are frustrating to play (i.e. not fun anymore).
		Microbattle	The graphics of this game are very simplistic, but still it managed to be very entertaining. I liked that there was different rooms and the whole game felt like I was moving through different rooms, which usually had some unique like properties. Somehow this reminded me a little bit of Space Taxi, which is one of my favourites. :)
		infeXion	Graphically it looks very good, and the gameplay is also quite functional. It doesn't stick to the theme very well, though.
		Peanut Butter: The Simulator	Funny, but not that much in the theme even that it claims to fit somehow. :)
		Anti-Botic	Nice and innovative, fits the theme well. Maybe a bit hard, especially if you just happen to be too far from the place of new infection.
		Snag	I like the idea a lot, and it is quite fun to play. It is quite polished as well. Also the constant time turn based gameplay with a short turn is a design feature I like.
		InnerBody (FINISHED)	The idea is quite fresh. Sounds were also nice. The gameplay feels very challenging, especially after the first 1-2 levels or so. You seem to have some rounding error in the code since at some point I got the required 69% but it still said that I failed the mission.
		Zombiepox	Quite a nice start for a game. I think it just needs more work to make it more interesting. The graphics are quite nice. Nice touch that the player changes to a zombi when touching one, being able to function as one for a while.
		Cuzco's Goat Bloat Game	It's quite funny, and I liked the fiddle tunes. :)
		Shrooms!	The graphics are well tuned and look nice! Only sound is missing..
		Infected!	The tunnel looks quite nice, and the main menu has some additional "feeling" somehow. Gameplay felt a bit hard so I didn't really enjoy playing this that much.
		Youve Got COOTIES!! (FINISHED)	Feels like a pretty solid puzzle game. Graphics are quite nice with the consistent style. Getting three pills at time from the jar is a nice idea.
		Zombie Epidemic	Nice game, surprising amount of features although the car is quite hard to drive without driving over civilians more than zombies. :) I also liked the background music.
		Diaspora	After exiting it leaves the process alive so that I have to manually kill it. I feel a bit puzzled on how the game could be played well, or perhaps I have misunderstood it. :)
		Virgil	Gameplay was somewhat fun, and I think it fits theme also.
		Jelly	Quite nice idea, but I find it is too hard to play. The player character is maybe too small and controlling it should be a bit easier, or the playfield could rotate slower. There should be first some levels which would have less infected nodes at start.
		Antigen	Idea is ok, but the gameplay feels a bit frustrating. You could try to improve handling of the ship somehow. Currently I feel it rotates a bit too fast so that it becomes harder to aim at enemies. Alternatively faster bullets might help out a bit. I think I looked at the map probably more than the actual scrolling field. :) Theme fits quite well.
		Invasion of the Blobs	My first reaction to this was a bit negative, but after trying and playing it out it turned out to be quite funny and nice little game. I can't decide if the sounds are horribly annoying or really funny!
		Antibody	The idea is very interesting and innovative, too bad that it's so unfinished.
		Zombies	The screen keeps changing to completely yellow most of the time.
		SDLInfection	Fun for a while but it gets a bit boring too fast. Try to add a bit more action into it, so that the gaming isn't mostly just waiting. :)
		Infection Wars	Nice idea and ok gameplay. Plus for the multiplayer.
		Gonorrhoids!	Quite nice, but it is a bit hard to play indeed. Fun to see how screen gets filled with small particles. :)
		none yet	Nice start, but it's just too unfinished.. :)
		Infected Blood	Nice graphics and sound, but a worm game doesn't fit that good in the theme.
		Awesome adventures of SuperHand	Gameplay needs a lot of tuning. The game crashed when I was entering a highscore.
		The Trouble with Tribbles	Quite average, can become nice game if you add some more gameplay features.
		Infection Fighter	Screenshots look a bit more interesting than the actual gameplay is. The entry feels too unfinished, but this could become an interesting game with more work put to it.
		Corruption	Idea is ok. Could be even better with some more work on the gameplay. Currently this is quite much jsut of a prototype, but you could work out a nice little game out of this.
		The Lobby	Having teammates is nice, but otherwise this isn't very innovative - I think this type of game has been done enough and it doesn't even fit the theme very well. Graphics were ok.
		infekchion	Idea is ok and in the theme, but as a whole it is still a bit too simple. Online highscores system is a nice touch! :-)
		Vaccinator	I didn't like that I had to install the game instead of just unzipping it (for a game compo like this where I am just going through many entries). The game itself was quite nice resembling space invaders a bit. :) First 5 levels are quite easy but the sixth is like a wall after them.
		Plague!	Interesting, but too unfinished.
		The Destruction of the Viruses	It is quite hard to pass levels. I guess I'm running it on wrong FPS etc. then, looking at your notes in the description. With some extra work this could be fun.
		Plague City	The sounds were quite funny. I was amused for a while with the feeling what driving the ambulance gave with the sounds. :) Zombies doesn't feel very original though..
		Nanoterror	Too bad it is so unfinished, could have been fun. The idea and existing parts of implementation are quite interesting.
		OSWar	Extra completeness points for having a server/client multiplayer. But gameplay is too much like so that at first both players just put lines endlessly and then suddenly one of them takes huge pile of them in a row. So the rules could use a bit of balancing maybe.
		Innoculator4x4	It was quite frustrating to drive and steer the car. I still managed to play it up to level 20.
		The Newcastle Chicken Slaughter	Nice to see there's people using the new Java stuff (start from web, and the opengl binding). :) But the game itself felt quite unfinished and not sticking to the theme very well.
		infection-terror	Yes, timing bugs so that it is somewhat impossible to really play it on my computer. The helicopter moves just too fast. :(
		Gooploid	The game seems just too easy, so that I could play it on and on and it added difficulty so slowly that eventually I got bored to try play it until I would lose the game. Graphics and sound were quite suitable.
		BioWulf	It was somewhat problematic to get it running. For some reason, if I decompressed it with cygwin tar, then it put the files on hd so that running it resulted in "Access is denied." message. If I decompressed it with winzip (after doing a bunzip2 first), then this didn't happen. But I still could run it only after I deleted the ddraw.dll and opengl32.dll shipped with the package.
		Mucus Infection	This type of game has been done a bit too much, and it doesn't fit the theme that well. :) The 500 seconds (with 100 second intervals) is maybe a bit too much, what about 150 seconds with 30 second intervals or something like that..
