The controlls were a bit clunky, but I still had fun cruising around taking pot shots at the knights. It was a bit hard to figure out what was going on at times though as the main charater doesn't have much visual interaction with the baddies. There was some kind of double buffering problem, so the game flickered a lot for me. Especially on the title screen.
A very straightforward farming game, except perhaps for the story which made me guffaw. I was hoping for something more after making some progress. My farming ambitions evaporated quite quickly. It didn't help that the game ran a bit slow on my machine, making the process of distributing seeds etc. quite tedius. But I can only mark my machine down for that.
Nice interface. The graphics was very functional but I guess it is quite a content heavy game for 48 hours. When I failed to help those people and it resulted in them not discovering space travel.. well. I felt pretty bad about that.
I had a great time playing this game. It doesn't have any particularly innovative elements but they combine together quite nicely to produce something which feels new. It's a shame you can't see your highscore after you die though.
Sound= An interesting puzzle game. It held my attention for a long time, but eventually I found myself squinting at the numbers while I did a manual depth first search for the solution.
I did like the basic premise of this game, but the design feels incomplete. I discovered I could get BP most easily just by building straight up, which wasn't very exciting. I liked the sound but it was smothered by a constant crackling sound - perhaps part of the music? I'm not sure. The finish level sound is great.
It wasn't very pleasant playing this game through a web browser, but I'm giving points for innovation because it is a nice simple idea which produces some interesting gameplay.
Magnificant Gunbright
Too slow to be playable for me. Great music though.
Sound= Obviously not a complete game, but it is still fun to play as a toy. Gathering numbers of termites and eating through the buildings are two distinct but equally enjoyable tasks which could work well together. I like the pseudo-3d buildings and the way they disintegrate.
Unsettling=5. Great goofy theme, well put together, hilarious introduction, but the actual game felt too much like work.
This game is very playable. I couldn't get past the big black square in level 2 though. Is it possible? Anyway, for such a simple game it is still very interesting trying to find a way through without becoming unbalanced.
Sound= A nice concept which works well. I couldn't figure out why the timer would suddenly jump forward though - it seemed impossible to finish level 2. I couldn't get the sound to work, so no sound score.
Sound= Delightfully freaky! I like the premise of trying to augment the different features of your creature in the right order. The choices you make don't feel consequential as it is though - I'd just meander around for a while and then usually win. Still, I had a lot of fun playing this.
Sound= I had to force myself to learn the rules for this game but once I was up and running I could see that it is a nicely balanced strategy game. And I learnt something about alien bacterium psychology.
A nice looking, well written game. The idea had a lot of promise, but without any goals or challenges it gets old pretty fast. I did have fun planning how to finish each level efficiently though. Perhaps just a timer and a par time for each level would have done the trick.
