Oct 2 20:21:57		Stingy Seating	♥ 1	Very clever mechanics that embrace the theme well. Simple art and sound that are perfect for this kind of game. I could have used a teeny bit more on-boarding or instructions, but I was able to figure out what I was doing after a while. Interface is clear. Nice work!
Oct 2 20:48:45	26m 48s	Give Me Money	♥ 1	Really nice looking game with a Cookie Clicker feel. I found it a little frustrating that I ran out of meaningful stuff to do after about 5 minutes. I know you're supposed to leave this going all day and come back to it, but boosting my income 15% every 20 minutes to get to another upgrade that would take 45 minutes wasn't really a draw. Very well-executed, and very cute, with a solid implementation of the theme.
Oct 3 02:57:53	6h 09m	Feng Shui Struggles	♥ 1	Great concept, great execution, very funny (especially the last level). I very much enjoyed this. Mouse controls aren't always completely intuitive, but they got the job done - you could always get where you wanted somehow. Nice work!
Oct 3 03:09:28	11m 35s	Just why?	♥ 1	So clever and fun. I needed many more save points than I had, but I enjoyed trying. Got past the ocean segment once, but couldn't finish. Very neat idea and very cool concept with great execution and design.
Oct 3 03:15:06	5m 38s	Unsquished	♥ 2	Very atmospheric and frantic while also being simple and easy to understand. Music rocks, and visuals are fun. Very nice work!
Oct 3 05:32:25	2h 17m	Killstreak	♥ 1	Engaging graphics and speedy gameplay. I found it very hard to progress with the controls how they were - very easy to die even from the second jump. Took me a while to realize the shots were auto-aimed. Very nice looking and complete, with a cool soundtrack.
Oct 3 05:42:09	9m 44s	Super Cube	♥ 2	Fun concept and cool controls. I loved the music track also. Took me a while to realize that not using the controls helped a bit. Often your success or failure seems to be luck of the draw with what squares get shot at you, but strategic use of your pink power helps. Fun one! Nice job.
Oct 3 19:41:44	13h 59m	Intermodal	♥ 1	Loved this - very clever. It took me a few tries to get the rhythm, and to realize that I could just leave goods in the storage rather than blowing through trucks I couldn't fill. Really clever, well executed, and fun. The double beep got a little irritating after seven ships, but otherwise I have no complaints. Great work!
Oct 3 20:08:57	27m 13s	Diminutive Dungeon	♥ 1	Very cute! I enjoyed wandering around and coordinating both guys - solo works well. No real plot other than getting all the goodies, but that's satisfying. Music and graphics are terrific. Nice work!
Oct 3 20:16:47	7m 50s	Packed to the Gills	♥ 4	Super graphics, neat mechanics. Kind of a fast-paced one-move piscine tetris, if that's a thing. Great music too.
Oct 3 21:03:19	46m 32s	Harvest Saturn	♥ 0	Graphics and sound are neat-o. The game alternates between speed being a factor (when reorganizing your inventory, which is kind of frantic) and turn-based, which makes it a little hard to grok. Inventory Tetris is fun, though. Nice work.
Oct 6 05:48:25	56h 45m	Limited Parking Space	♥ 2	I drove for a long time and never found the open spot. Wasn't sure if it was supposed to be near the restaurant or not. Driving was fun and the game looked cool, although I found the controls a little hard to use sometimes, and the other cars didn't obey traffic laws (probably a feature, not a bug). Fun, with crisp neat graphics. Nice work!
Oct 6 05:57:45	9m 20s	Dwarf Looter	♥ 2	Neat fully-functional game with cool art and sounds. Exploration seemed a little random, but that goes with the genre. I loved using a salami as a weapon.
Oct 6 06:19:44	21m 59s	Villaggio	♥ 4	Very neat art - utterly charming! I had a hard time figuring out what to do, and the text was a little small, but I eventually got some points. Nice work!
Oct 6 06:37:37	17m 53s	Outland Escape	♥ 1	Snappy, fun controls, deep upgrade system - lots of fun. I never felt at much risk, so maybe it could have been a little harder, but I had a great time smushing zombies and adding parts. Made the jump at the end my first time after I figured out I needed speed mods. Great work, and a funky music track.
Oct 6 06:40:27	2m 50s	Limitless Space	♥ 1	Really neat art and an original concept. I hope you're able to develop it more later.
Oct 6 06:53:29	13m 02s	Turtle Gatling	♥ 1	Simple, effective, fun. I wondered what the green gem was that I could turn gray. My talent was more limiting than my processor - played about ten times and topped out at around 850 bullets. Nice job, and a fun use of the theme.
Oct 6 16:41:45	9h 48m	Troglo	♥ 1	Charming platform game with interesting mechanics, very cool graphics and music, and a terrific opening scene for the setup. Did not like that I could die by just scrolling upward - I'm not good enough for these games for that to be a fun extra penalty, and landing on the vines was tricky. Did like the many save points - so many platform games are unplayable for me because you can't save often enough, and I'm not great at them. Nice work! My fullscreen attempt also didn't work with an error.
Oct 6 16:58:03	16m 18s	Get The Pumpkin!	♥ 1	Cute game with fun audio. I got it in 99 seconds after maybe 8 deaths, which is OK for a 54-year-old. I loved the (easter egg?) additional voice content if you leave it running after winning.
Oct 6 17:01:59	3m 56s	Pixel Piles	♥ 4	Very clever mash-up of platformers and Tetris. Way too hard for me to succeed, but that's on me, not the game. Cute graphics and music add to the fun. Fits the theme well. Nice work!
Oct 7 04:50:37	11h 48m	Calves of the Braves	♥ 3	Wow, very impressive, and I love the art style. Gameplay was fun but tricky - I made it to the halo guy but only defeated him once, and that was just by dodging, making him run out of the ring. Everybody else I fought seemed able to be defeated by spamming K, although I did occasionally lose. The changing ring size was a neat touch, and the music was nice. Great work! Fun game.
Oct 7 04:57:23	6m 46s	ROOMGUN	♥ 3	Fun game! I gave up after about 15 deaths on the four-sheep level (7 I think?). Those sheep guys were just way, way harder than the others, and I couldn't spin my mouse fast enough to pick them off. I liked the variety of challenge. The aiming was off to the left a little, which made it tricky - I didn't see the fullscreen advice until after. Charming and fun - I wish the difficulty wasn't so high for the sheep guys, though. Nice work!
Oct 7 20:10:41	15h 13m	Claustrorush	♥ 2	Fun well-coded game! What a cool idea, to make the level design require you to lose a little - adds stress and fun, although it sometimes means you just have to wait until you can use the closing walls. Neat graphic design and music - very cool.
Oct 7 20:46:36	35m 55s	A Parking Story	♥ 1	Great game, and great use of the theme. The red car is such a dick. I am a pretty good driver and parker, but a couple of the levels here gave me fits (see image). What fun, and such a clean, well-designed implementation. Nice work!cars.jpg
Oct 7 21:18:10	31m 34s	Sampler	♥ 1	Looked very cool, but I couldn't seem to interact with anything (mouse cursor went away and holding click didn't do anything). Couldn't do anything or get out of the first room. I'm sure I'm missing something. EDIT: OK, I reloaded and went full screen immediately and figured it out. Was able to play through. Great game, very atmospheric. I blundered my way through the level with the triangle buttons somehow - didn't do anything systematic. The ending was very cool. Nice work!
