Apr 30 09:03:23		Mine Corp.	♥ 1	Definitely easy to control and makes fun. The noises got a bit grating and repetitive: very harsh. Nice tying together of concept and gameplay but I think you could've taken it further and pushed the idea into something fresh. Nice work!
Apr 30 09:05:10	1m 47s	King Heart	♥ 1	This has been really nicely put together and the overall end product is really polished. I really love the music, although it definitely gets repetitive quickly. Overall nicely done, but perhaps the design could have been pushed further into a bit more of a unique area?
Apr 30 09:07:58	2m 48s	Blood For Power	♥ 1	Nicely done! I really like the music, it's catchy, but feels tonally dissonant with the rest of what you're going for. I think the recharge time on the attacks is pretty brutal, not super fun. But overall really well done!
Apr 30 09:15:13	7m 15s	CREAM	♥ 1	Nicely done. Eat your landlords! I like the switch between easy and hard mode, it's humorous but also like pretty poignant.
Apr 30 09:21:58	6m 45s	BOSS FIGHT! ultimate saturday night billionaire skirmish	♥ 3	It's a shame both billionaires didn't die. Or at least have their wealth confiscated. The controls were pretty wild, I don't have an end or delete key on my laptop so my player 2 couldn't attack me as well - I'd consider changing them, or at least giving the player the option to. Nicely done overall though! And nice interpretation of the theme ✌️
Apr 30 10:46:10	1h 24m	Hospital Horrors	♥ 1	The animation and controls were nice and smooth but the difficulty is a bit unnecessarily punishing imo. I don't understand why the elevator music? I was listening to this and it was helping with the atmosphere a bit more lol https://burial.bandcamp.com/album/subtemple . But overall nicely done! Feels like a pretty substantial game here given the time frame!
Apr 30 11:09:59	23m 49s	Cats Without Cars	♥ 4	Really gorgeous game, had loads of fun!
May 1 11:54:58	24h 44m	Basil Price: Mint Investigator	♥ 1	This has been my fav game so far! It's all so polished and coherent and fun! 5 stars all round!
May 1 12:00:42	5m 44s	Wild West Devil Pact	♥ 1	Nice idea and I think the incorporation of the theme was nice, but the rest felt slightly janky. I hard a really hard time even killing one enemy! but good job !
May 1 12:08:44	8m 02s	Petite Cuiller	♥ 0	Really effective way of emotional storytelling! Limiting choices is one of my favourite tropes in terms of making a player feel constrained and it was done really well here :) sound was simple enough to be effective as well, and obvs the graphics are gorgeous! great work
May 1 12:18:51	10m 07s	Don't think about others	♥ 1	I wonder if Notre-dame would be the final boss? rich folks unable to resist the pull of tax-deductable nation treasures huh. Nice work! The game didn't develop enough quickly enough to keep me interested for long but it's well polished and I like the audio especially!
May 5 19:35:22	103h 16m	Seize the Clay	♥ 3	The process of making the pots was fun but I found the paint specifically confusing. The lack of feedback made it hard to work out what I was doing wrong when it wasn't coming out well. Graphics are beautiful! Great job!
May 5 19:40:12	4m 50s	King's Alchemist	♥ 2	Nice and polished entry, I like it! It was quite difficult to work out how to get started, I felt really stupid. Also I kept clicking the down arrow button that swaps screen, like all the time lol
May 5 19:43:27	3m 15s	Meaningful Life	♥ 1	This is really great I like it a lot! Very smart entry. I wonder if escape should even be an option, though? I kinda like the idea of an infinite loop you can't win. But really great entry! Best I've played I think.
May 5 19:51:57	8m 30s	Plant-iverse	♥ 0	Pretty fun game! The flying feels great. Took me a long while to work out what to do, but once I got it I was great haha.
