| Apr 20 09:31:04 | Mining Deepa | ♥ 2 | Interesting game, I liked the limited vision and the discovery signal. I had to retry it a few times to figure out what I needed to do. The upgrades were a nice progression, but getting a way to stop the robots after an upgrade felt weird, it basically felt like pure luck before that. I also think that the reveal upgrades could be a little more generous, since getting +1 vision in front, I could still spin to get extra vision around, but it was annoying (not sure how useful +1 behind you would be either). The faster mining had the potential to get you into trouble if you weren't fast enough to stop moving when noticing an empty pocket. | |
| Apr 20 09:54:16 | 23m 12s | The unidentifed Signal | ♥ 2 | Interesting premise, but turned out quite tedious, I think it would be better if you didn't have to switch between the terminal and the main screen, also since you had the objects on the screen it would be nice to be able to select them with a mouse. I feel like you could have added another input screen where the player could take notes (if they didn't want to take out a physical one). I attempted the last 2 parts of the message, since they seemed the easiest, I got gibberish and then the method I used to figure out the gibberish, which made me feel quite bad about wasted time. Long strings of numbers are problematic since you don't know if you should read them by 1 digit or 2. I didn't see any text for the ciphers, so I assume it is at least double encrypted, which seems like torture. The audio didn't seem to fit, and was quite annoying being aggressive and starting/stopping suddenly. |
| Apr 20 10:11:06 | 16m 50s | Expanding Horizons | ♥ 1 | I liked having to wait for the planets to be in range to be able to discover them, tho it wasn't so easy with the current speed multipliers, so it could have been nice to be able to mark a planet for discovery, and discover it when it gets in range. Definitely didn't like that the camera followed the spinning planets on x10 and x100 speeds, made me feel sick. It was nice to be able to speed the game up, but also made the tech tree inconsequential, the only thing I read from it is some of the names and briefly a tooltip indicating +5% |
| Apr 20 10:37:09 | 26m 03s | The Message | ♥ 1 | Interesting game, I got the first one, although I feel there were quite a lot of frequencies that didn't do anything, and the slider movement wasn't particularly smooth (web). For the second one I don't think I fully understood what I needed to do (particularly the high/low pitch), seems like I was looking for a number, just no idea which one (since it was would be really hard to figure out the peak visually). |
| May 3 08:51:50 | 310h 14m | Coherence | ♥ 1 | Cool game, nice cutscene, but there was a bit of regular noise, it took me a little bit to figure out how the wires can cross but got there. |
| May 3 08:57:29 | 5m 39s | Through the Dark Forest | ♥ 1 | cool game, I liked the ability to move around the room and interact with objects, but the focus on the telescope wasn't very clear the first time that you have to first wait for something to appear. It also lacks obstacles and the story is very short. |
| May 3 09:05:00 | 7m 31s | Signal from the Center | ♥ 0 | I got to it eventually, but still I'm not sure what I did or what was happening, it seemed like the game was restarting as the timer reset, but I'm not sure why. |
| May 3 09:11:56 | 6m 56s | Astral Pilgrimage of Sound | ♥ 0 | I wasn't sure what I was to do exactly, but I could not control the ship, the acceleration is very slow and the max speed is not and I just kept waiting and overshooting the planets. |
| May 3 09:38:53 | 26m 57s | Signal Surfer | ♥ 1 | Pretty cool, it was fun riding the wave, I think it was interesting to be able to move backwards, sometimes it felt like I got stuck between two peaks, but it might just need some getting used to to properly control it. |
| May 3 09:44:34 | 5m 41s | Funnel World | ♥ 1 | The camera control is very awkward. |
| May 3 09:59:32 | 14m 58s | Do it Right | ♥ 1 | Pretty cool and unique entry, I liked the voice commands, tho I felt it said I messed up more than I should, I don't know if I had to wait for the instructions to be finished or could do them as they were presented. |
