Dec 3 13:16:30		Alms Crown	♥ 2	Amazing game, the main mechanic is really interesting. The difficulty curve is well done, and I especially liked level 5. As for improvements, one very minor gripe is that it isn't always obvious how much of the level is accessible. Specifically on the final level, I expected to be able to move right further than I was allowed to. Additionally, I feel that some sort of outline for blocks could help when trying to distinguish where objects are height-wise.
Dec 3 13:56:43	40m 13s	Movement Garden	♥ 0	Great game! The mechanics were super interesting and original. The difficulty curve was well done and I especially enjoyed the last two levels.
Dec 3 14:10:59	14m 16s	Blót	♥ 0	The art and colors are extremely well done. I also encountered the bug mentioned above, and I feel that a quick restart option could be beneficial.
Dec 3 14:40:01	29m 02s	WAYT	♥ 1	I love the music. The game is very fun and difficult. I feel like the controls are a little too floaty compared to the precision required for some of the jumps. I think allowing a bit more leeway with the jumps or tightening up the controls slightly would go a long way.
Dec 3 14:43:43	3m 42s	Passage Home	♥ 1	Fun game, I got really close after a few tries but never quite made it.
Dec 3 15:13:08	29m 25s	Keyboard Twister	♥ 1	Very fun game, I love how stylish everything is. The "For educational use only" in the corner is a nice touch.
Dec 3 15:46:54	33m 46s	Rafture	♥ 1	Fun game, I like how you used the theme. The puzzles were well made and I solved all of them.
Dec 3 16:31:19	44m 25s	Try	♥ 0	I like the idea, and it was interesting looking at levels and trying to see whether they would be possible. That said, I think the levels are impossible too often. While making a generator that produces solvable but still interesting puzzles might be too complex, I feel that this could be greatly improved by a few simple checks. For example, the number of goals has to be less than the number of boxes, goals can't be boxed in, and (though slightly more complicated) boxes with two non-parallel adjacent walls cannot be moved and should be changed. This could be implemented as a reroll if needed (as in, after the initial generation it will replace some of the goals with a fresh random object if there aren't enough boxes).
Dec 3 16:40:51	9m 32s	Icy Golems	♥ 1	Great game, I especially enjoyed the last level. I would love an extended version with audio and possibly an option to speed up the movement for when you've finished modifying the instruction tiles.
Dec 4 04:32:34	11h 51m	dropboy	♥ 1	Fantastic game, I would love to see this extended. The last few levels were very rewarding and I thought the difficulty curve was well done overall. As a side note, this may be on my end, but I couldn't get the downloadable to work (I'm on Windows 10).
Dec 4 09:29:15	4h 56m	Decisions	♥ 1	Great game, I got 3 stars on all of the levels. I especially enjoyed the final puzzle. I liked the music, but I would've preferred it to be continuous rather than starting fresh at the beginning of each level.
Dec 4 09:47:04	17m 49s	You Can't Make An Omelette	♥ 0	Great game, the visuals are very clean and the mechanics are intuitive. Everything feels super satisfying, the sound effects are perfect. I broke quite a few eggs, but I managed to make all of the omelettes in the end.
Dec 4 09:54:43	7m 39s	Naixalag	♥ 1	Fun game, I really like the use of the theme. After a few tries, my high score was 460.
Dec 4 10:27:18	32m 35s	Sacrificial Construct	♥ 1	I like the game, but I ran into an issue on the gray-scale level where I couldn't reach the final enemy (there were stairs that I think I was supposed to be able to climb that I couldn't), so I couldn't proceed. I thought the upgrades were cool, and the art was great. I think making the guns a little more responsive (for example: screenshake, sound effects, or some bigger visual indicator when firing) would help a lot with the feel. Great job overall!
Dec 4 20:46:14	10h 18m	Miko Quest	♥ 1	I really like what I've seen so far, but I also ran into crashing issues (as such, I haven't rated it yet). The first time, it crashed after beating level 3, then after beating level 1, and then after beating level 2. I am using Windows 10.
Dec 4 21:01:03	14m 49s	EXCHANGE	♥ 1	Great game, I love how many little details there are. The risk reward system as a whole was great, but it was also interesting how combinations could have negative consequences, like losing both my hands made it so I couldn't open a chest. I also loved how selling both ears made the game silent.
Dec 19 04:05:10	343h 04m	Into The Slime	♥ 1	Good game. I wish there was a move counter and that the number of moves played a larger role in the puzzles (currently it only seems to matter in the final level). The clone mechanic is interesting, though perhaps a bit limiting in terms of level design in its current state. It might allow for more interesting and diverse levels if there was a way to create more clones. For instance, there could be green tiles that make a slime full size and allow it to make another clone.
Dec 19 04:11:35	6m 25s	Third	♥ 1	Good game, the music is great and the art is very clean. The best score I got was 24.
Dec 20 02:51:09	22h 39m	Labrats	♥ 1	Great game, I personally had no issues with the difficulty curve, though I would love to see more difficult levels if it is expanded. Having to sacrifice rats in order to use the same color twice, as was the case with level 7, was very interesting.
Dec 21 22:35:49	43h 44m	M-ss-ng Ch-r-cters	♥ 1	Really cool game, the leaderboard is a nice touch. I also wish it was a little longer, maybe around 15 words per game.
Dec 29 04:41:40	174h 05m	Traffic Jams and Hand Grenades	♥ 1	Cool game, I love how you used the theme. The puzzles were interesting and I made it through without killing any more than needed.
