Apr 26 14:17:29 Deep Randomizer ♥ 1 Pretty interesting. I had some trouble understanding some of the weapon descriptions ("small medium laser?"), and ended up adopting a strategy of just seeing if it would hurt me and if not just shooting around. In the end I think the timer takes away from the random weapons, because I didn't really have to figure out how to use them. Still, fun, played a few times, and did get to the end (Yay!).
Apr 26 14:20:06 2m 37s Bumpysphere ♥ 1 Very neat, this game feels very cohesive and well put-together. I think the messages could have been more obvious. The first time I lost, I completely missed the message that said press R to restart (three times!), and reloaded the window. Picking up the final treasure was very tense!
Apr 26 14:29:35 9m 29s My Friend John ♥ 1 Interesting idea, though I couldn't tell if I was just really good at clicking on things, or if there was no penalty for clicking on the wrong things. I laughed out loud at my first spam message.
Apr 26 14:46:52 17m 17s Search for the Undergem ♥ 2 Fun, but needs some tuning. It was easy for me to buy every upgrade. The ladder mechanic is interesting, it keeps me coming back to the surface. Also! I thought "slow walker" was the name of the upgrade, not saying that _I_ was a slow walker. I expected this upgrade to slow me down, and did not buy it. I wish I bought it earlier on!
Apr 26 14:53:51 6m 59s The Final Journey ♥ 2 This game has superb mood. The lighting, the sound, the creaking noises… I also really like the way the submarine slides along the steep edges if you bump into them. I think it's a little too easy to "win", I had probably ⅔ of the purple meter when I hit the bottom, and I did hit a couple of mines.
Apr 26 14:55:51 2m 00s Apapon ♥ 0 I want to play this game but I don't know how to get it. The windows link goes to this page, and I don't have Visual Studio installed to compile it.
Apr 26 15:16:32 20m 41s Space Digger ♥ 0 This is crashing at start with "illegal character U+FFFD". Build.framework.js.br looks like binary or compressed data, but it's trying to load it as if it were javascript.
Apr 26 15:18:51 2m 19s Sinking City ♥ 0 Neat idea! Unfortunately I didn't play for very long, the mouse is **way** too sensitive!
Apr 26 15:24:17 5m 26s Financial Irresponsibility Simulator ♥ 1 I really like the premise. But the floor is dreadful to behold. This is the first game that has let me live out my fantasy of buying an entire nation!
Apr 26 15:28:48 4m 31s Falling Rock ♥ 2 I love the simplicity of the monochrome graphics and the one-button controls. Fun but feels a bit too random. I'd like it if the game was a bit faster paced. Nothing that would require me to jump more often / frequently, but something other than trying to guess how far to jump would help. There was a bird once but it must be very rare!
Apr 26 15:44:04 15m 16s Astronomical Assault ♥ 1 Fun, though it's hard to tell what's going on at times. Never fought eggs before, so there's that. Given that it starts all over when I die, I'd like to have some sort of score.
Apr 27 02:18:06 10h 34m Blue Eye - Salvage & Rescue ♥ 1 Cool game, though I had a bit of trouble figuring out what was going on for a while. I thought I had to _avoid_ the fish and eels. Message kept appearing and disappearing at the bottom of the screen but I didn't have time to read them, and didn't know what to do about seismic activity anyway. I got some armor but don't know what it does. Regardless, once I figured out the other stuff, I had fun.
Apr 27 02:37:02 18m 56s MinesweeperDeeper ♥ 1 Really cool twist on the classic game! It took me more time than I'd like to admit to wrap my head around the empty blocks. For some reason, I kept thinking that there could be mines under the numbers. I think I was thrown off by the fact that blank blocks can appear at the borders of the empty space, which can't happen in the regular game. Minor gripes, I'd like to be able to use WASD, arrows + mouse is a bit awkward. Also, middle-clicking on a number that's next to that many flags should reveal the surrounding squares. Not taking points off for these but it's a bit tedious to click all of the blocks surrounding a 1.
Apr 27 13:56:34 11h 19m Wrangler's Knot - Deep Dive Sea Fishing ♥ 1 Very cool, I really like the idea! I was a bit confused about how to use the knot, usually it would delete the rope but the fish were still left just hanging out by the boat.
Apr 27 18:48:20 4h 51m Ocean Is Your Friend ♥ 1 I really like the "look and feel" of this game. It feels very polished. I think I need something else to do on the way down, though, other than fixing cracks. I spent most of the game waiting to get to the right depth.
Apr 28 00:04:37 5h 16m The Dwarves of Mt. Deep ♥ 2 I've edited this comment. FYI this game is has a big magenta triangle on top of it in Firefox, but it works fine in Chrome. Interesting game, I like the way the lantern works. At first I thought I was screwed by the RNG but no I'm just an idiot (and it looks to be deterministic). I got the deepstone! Very fun!

Apr 28 00:30:11 25m 34s The NYPD Shaman ♥ 1 Cool concept! I found the driving controls a little awkward. I really like the art style.
