Apr 20 15:32:05		Propaganda and Rhetoric	♥ 1	Interesting concept! The instructions are a bit vague, I assumed the link would be to a selfhosted version of the game or a portfolio or something, but it's actually part of the game itself. I think it would be more interesting if the clues were hidden inside actual text, rather than finding wiggly words in walls of lorem ipsum. But this made it relatively simple to find what I was looking for. Except for the home page, either I was blind or it took a bunch of refreshes until it wiggled a word I actually noticed :D Copy pasting didn't work properly for me, it didn't update itself so you'd paste the previous clipboard. There are two menus that can show up, and it only works on the one that only has paste as an option. The other menu also includes cut copy etc and with keyboard shortcuts, but it seems that one doesn't use the actual clipboard content. Using firefox. Good job though! :D
Apr 20 17:01:17	1h 29m	Drone Supervisor II Online	♥ 1	Very neat! The tutorial was very helpful and I played a single player game until I reached the daily goal. I bruteforced my way through and it costs a fortune, but I made it :') I mistakenly assumed that some of the crafting stuff wasn't possible due to a lack of materials, but later I realized that almost everything can be crafted from the base ingredients that you start with. So I only had beer and fire, lol. Anyway, fun game :D very nicely done! I started a 4 player lobby that anyone can join, if people want to collaborate :D I've got free beer and gems for my neighbours
Apr 20 19:50:00	2h 48m	Adventures in Xenolinguistics!	♥ 2	I managed to find enough pairings to unlock the other two emails, which was pretty fun to do :D I've been trying to figure out more of the symbols, and while I can see some of the patterns, it's tough to decode without any additional guidance. So I gave up :D the hints email told me I was on the right track, though! I enjoyed it, good stuff!
Apr 20 19:58:52	8m 52s	Detect Metal	♥ 1	Pretty fun! I encountered some bugs but they've already been reported. Having your upgrades carry over to the next playthrough makes things pretty easy :D I like the metal detecting gameplay loop, it was enjoyable to make mental notes of where treasures are located while a giant swarm of flies push you out of the area Good job!
Apr 20 20:11:28	12m 36s	Sleep ArthonBru, Sleep!	♥ 2	I couldn't figure out how it worked so I didn't solve the puzzle or get the bar full, but I did enjoy making random music with this :D
Apr 20 20:20:01	8m 33s	Static	♥ 1	I also had to switch to chrome, it froze on firefox and the music kept playing after closing the tab, so I had to restart the entire browser lol Pretty short and simple, but very nice atmosphere! Very cool vibe. Good job :D
Apr 20 20:29:38	9m 37s	Signal search	♥ 1	That was pretty fun! When I could finally communicate with the strangers, I was interested to see what they had to say. Then when one of the strangers said they miss their family, I felt sad for a brief moment. I don't know what I expected but it wasn't that, lol Good job :D
Apr 20 20:51:13	21m 35s	Juxtaopposition	♥ 2	Not sure if this is a joke, a scam, a virus, or all 3. But it's not a game, it's just a story about one
Apr 20 21:15:16	24m 03s	Awaiting Response	♥ 1	I managed to escape! Not sure what the trick is exactly, but on my third attempt I just ignored every interactable except the doors Cool game :D
Apr 20 21:28:35	13m 19s	What's that signal?	♥ 1	That was delightfully weird :D unrelated to finding the signal, but there is a spot where there are almost no whispers. It felt a bit ominous to stand there and hear nothing, lol also, 11/10 voice acting as usual
Apr 20 21:51:29	22m 54s	yAI presents Himari, the Beautiful Super Genius Artificial Intelligence	♥ 1	I was unsure what I was getting into, but I'm glad I did. That was an awesome chat :D For anyone attempting to chat with Himari, just like the creator I recommend using signal desktop, even if you prefer to use a phone for chatting normally.
Apr 20 22:53:11	1h 01m	Finnicky Fourier Toy	♥ 1	It's a lot of trial and error :D I gave up at puzzle 5 as I was getting close, but couldn't get it right, and apparently I needed another extra signal source somewhere in there lol I love the concept of this game, but my biggest gripes are managing the wires and turning the knobs. I'd rather just click and drag from output to input, instead of having to get the rotation of a connector in the right direction while dodging other potential holes to put it in. And the knobs would sometimes shift an extra step unintentionally. This made controlling the game a bit tedious, but other than that I enjoyed playing around with it :D Great job!
Apr 22 17:51:59	42h 58m	Timmy's Late For Tea	♥ 1	That was fun! The text messages were funny, sadly Cindy didn't appreciate my rizz. Started playing snakes but at some point I needed to check if I was getting closer or not so I quit with a score of 56 only :( finally managed to make it to the end, though. Very cool game :D
Apr 22 19:59:01	2h 07m	White noise	♥ 1	Turning the knobs was a bit challenging, but other than that it was cool to play through this game! Definitely a great atmospheric mood, well done!
Apr 23 15:08:01	19h 09m	ESCAPE_OS	♥ 1	A chaotic mess :D My best score on hard mode is 349.0, with a strategy of just luring the aliens together 24/7 while occasionally shepherding humans (regardless of value) towards an exit, and hope they don't wander into my murder room. I think the game would be a bit more manageable if you could use one key for each command and immediately execute it, so you don't have to cycle through the list and then use it. Also, it feels like the lure command also lures humans, while the description says it only lures aliens. Good stuff! Fun to play :D
Apr 23 15:27:31	19m 30s	Signal Desk	♥ 1	I really liked how it told a story. I played through it twice to see if there would be a difference when disobeying the notepad orders. The messages seem to stay the same, but the ending changes, so that's pretty neat :D would be cool if the messages and the notepad orders would change based on your choices/failures, but even without that it's a very cool game and I enjoyed my two playthroughs Good stuff!
Apr 23 16:03:31	36m 00s	Signal Breaking	♥ 1	My only wish is for there to be an undo button :D it's a bit annoying when you have a puzzle that takes many steps and you click the wrong button :') I didn't manage to beat the game, the top right said 132 so I guess that's my score? But at this point it became too much trial and error while bruteforcing and seeing what works. For me, there were too many mental steps to keep track of everything I need to do right now and in the future, lol But I enjoyed it a lot! Good stuff!
Apr 23 16:21:26	17m 55s	Numbus Crossing	♥ 1	That was pretty neat! I played until stage 6, I have no idea how many stages there are but other than the difficulty increases I think I've seen everything. The gameplay loop works pretty well, while it may seem simple, it gets tricky later on when birds are approaching close to each other and eggs are rolling everywhere. Also, love the small details and the dab bar :D Good job!
Apr 23 16:29:06	7m 40s	Blackboard Eraser Arcade	♥ 1	Very similar to the hacking minigame in cyberpunk 2077, except you have to memorize the sequence and not forget/miss one accidentally when they're shown :D My mind wandered for a second and it was game over :') Still, very fun! Good stuff!
Apr 23 16:54:06	25m 00s	Coverage	♥ 1	Pretty fun game! Loved the music as well, really fitting. I played against AI, which is indeed very dumb, as it was stacking clamshells and then Y2K'd itself :'D So I can't judge the actual gameplay against an equal level opponent, but my guess is that there's a little too much RNG in the action selection. Maybe it would be interesting if the cards were split up in two groups, one focused on growth and the other on action/movement, and you'd get to pick one from each group per round or something. Or have at least one card be from each group. I don't know. Overall though, very solid and polished game. I also appreciate showing the AI moves with the cursor, makes things really easy to follow and almost feels like a real opponent that way. Very nice addition. Good stuff!
Apr 23 17:30:30	36m 24s	CRASHDAR	♥ 1	Cool game! :D I made it to the end, but I had to use the spoiled clue to the minefield puzzle, as I didn't understand why the path I found didn't match the real-world mine coordinates. Seems like I was off by one vertically
