Dec 4 07:09:03		Maze Trudger!	♥ 1	Quite fun, I did manage to eventually win although the flare wasn't that useful in getting to the end (I mostly wandered around randomly until I reached the end).
Dec 4 07:16:55	7m 52s	Glitched	♥ 2	I really like the theme idea in this game. Perhaps it could be incorporated more in the platforming, like using (predictable) glitches to help you solve different levels? Good job!
Dec 4 08:33:03	1h 16m	Money Is Everything	♥ 0	Hey thanks for playing my game, I'm here to return the favour 😄. I like the graphics and all the animations are very smooth. This game is actually pretty polished. Of course, the jumps and the game in general would have more juice if there were some sound effects, but otherwise great job!
Dec 4 08:45:57	12m 54s	Power Play	♥ 1	The idea itself has potential, but the game unfortunately isn't that complete. The programmer art in this case looks quite good actually. I hope you'll work on the idea in your own time (48 hours really isn't that long) :)
Dec 4 08:57:14	11m 17s	Snèèz!	♥ 2	Going from knowing no code at all to a game in three months is pretty impressive! Overall I thought this game was fun, although a bit easy (you can just pop viruses in one area and use the immunity to quickly wipe them out). Of course, there is a lot of potential for other features you could add to this game had you had extra time during the weekend. Also, maybe you should make it clearer that on the front page you should click the "Pop the Virus" text rather than the virus itself because I spent a while trying to click the virus... Good job!
Dec 4 09:05:24	8m 10s	Ocean Cleanup	♥ 0	Cute little game. Moving around does get a little disorienting at times since the whole map moves. It's great that you had time to make music, but it could be made a little less repetitive. The art is fine. Maybe you could consider new features, like having to tow the garbage bags and with each one you collect, it makes it harder to tow all of them at once (which might fit the theme more)? Good job :)
Dec 5 18:02:36	32h 57m	Retro Rocket Run!	♥ 1	I enjoyed the idea of the game, although it did get laggy after a while... I kept dying when the controls inverted :( It's impressive how you managed to make audio and everything for this game in the compo. Good job!
Dec 15 14:21:39	236h 19m	Traffic Troubles	♥ 1	This game sort of reminds me of a grid-based Mini Metro. I understand that such a game requires a lot of behind-the-scenes work (like pathfinding etc), so it's quite commendable that you managed to achieve something like this in a short amount of time. I think some improvements that can be made would be to smooth out the motion of the cars so they don't visibly jump along the roads, and perhaps some balance changes to make this more strategic (for instance, some kind of money system or dynamic events that happen throughout the course of the game). Good job!
Dec 15 14:26:55	5m 16s	Operator	♥ 0	Fun idea, and it seems like a game with great storytelling potential. This game may also work really well with VR with some modifications. I think some changes that can be made would be to maybe modify the talking audio? Otherwise, great job!
Dec 15 14:35:30	8m 35s	Synapse	♥ 0	Cool puzzle game! Has a lot of potential for different puzzles. Felt like I was looking at a slice of something higher-dimensional. Minimalist graphics serve their purpose well. The puzzles can be completed rather quickly, however (maybe generate levels or make more?). Great job!
Dec 15 14:50:28	14m 58s	Swift & Sweet - Premium Delivery Services	♥ 0	Great game! The graphic style to me seems very Portal-esque. Very nice, clean graphic design too. Gameplay is pretty fun too. The movement was a bit disorienting after a while though, but otherwise this was a really good job!
Dec 15 15:02:16	11m 48s	Dem Colors	♥ 0	While this game may not have the best-looking graphics (although they were still fine), it feels like one of the more complete games I've encountered so far. It comes with a decent amount of depth and strategy for some very simple mechanics and rules. As some have mentioned earlier, the game does have some balance issues later on, so maybe some tweaking could be made. With a bit more polish, I could see myself playing this game a lot. A minor bug would be that the text flows out of the boxes in the tower selection screen. Overall, a simple game that has a surprising amount of depth. Good job!
Dec 16 10:50:03	19h 47m	A time paradox	♥ 2	Really great idea, and overall a very cohesive game! In my opinion, one way to make the puzzles shine more would be to make every step proceed in discrete turns (one tile step to one turn), so that precise manoeuvring wouldn't be required to avoid the clones. The audio and graphics of this game were pretty good too, and they all meshed well with each other. Considering this is a compo submission, it's very impressive. Great job!
Dec 16 10:55:34	5m 31s	Lottery Cash Mania	♥ 0	A fun little incremental game. Graphics looked pretty good, perhaps if you had more time you could expand on this further? Good job!
