The graphics are the high point, although I would have wished for more consistency and more elaborate foregrounds.
Unfortunately, I had to turn off my speakers; the music, while technically proficient, I'm sure, is just not something I want to listen to. The game itself is kinda slow and takes too long without anything interesting happening, unfortunately.
It sure is tiny. I played it all the way through, which is a good sign. Graphics are fine, but simple. Audio is a bit grating though, at times.
The game is very repetitive, and I can't seem to buy upgrades. The audio is too loud, and it screws with color balance on my monitor.
Aside from everything else, though, I call shenanigans on this entry. You didn't draw those zombie sprites; or, alternately, if you DID draw them, you didn't draw them for this competition. I'm betting on the former, but either one is against the rules.
The sprites appeared at least as early as a month ago, posted by someone calling himself Kazzador on RPGMakerWeb: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/683-kazzadors-additional-generator-parts-sprites/
Decent. Hard to know how many shots to hit something with before it can be captured. Animations aren't great and controls/collision are a bit dodgy.
A lot of fun! Reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus. Pretty graphics and good audio, and bonus points for the effort put into the interactive cutscene at the start. It adds a lot.
I had an issue whenever the robo-serpent wasn't on screen. Since the background doesnt' scroll, I had nothing to compare my position too. Therefore, I could never know if I was actually getting any height or not, and that made me feel like I couldn't figure out how to control the damn thing.
Also, no mouse lock means I clicked outside of the window several times, which also didn't pause the game - that caused quite a bit of frustration when it happened.
Fun, but confusing. I was never really sure why I conquered - or why I failed to conquer - a cell. I still don't understand how the powerup cells work. Very small, hard to play properly on a high resolution screen.
Couldn't run (no Silverlight).
Pretty decent. I died a few times for no apparent reason - not sure what that was about.
Cute graphics, although the mixed resolutions weren't really to my tastes. Controls a bit slow. Not sure what the charge was for, since it didn't seem to contribute to blowing up the planet, and it was too slow to hit any enemies.
Confusing gameplay, confusing graphics. Audio is OK. Very short.
Neat concept, but too slow-paced for my tastes. The game has a tendency to spawn enemies on top of you when you enter a room, and it's sometimes hard to tell where enemies are located.
I'm a sucker for low resolution graphics. The controls are unfortunately extremely awkward, especially the jumping, which detracts from the experience. Other than that, fun.
It's pretty much Sokoban, with some additional features. Not much else to say. Quite decent. Props for making your own music.
Pretty game. Controls felt sluggish. Cute as the music may be, I kept wanting to turn it off, but found no controls for it.
Can't play (don't have MacOS X machine available).
Feels easy to abuse by just spamming ASD in the air.
The game is almost unplayable due to the horrendously buggy shaking, which at least on my computer makes the screen shake _constantly_. Nevertheless, if it was fixed, and if the instructions were a bit clearer, it would be a nice game.

Quite fun. I was annoyed when I died of starvation while in the middle of the "go through the exit" animation. Feels like I was cheated out of winning the level.

I felt like there was no reason not to just hold down X in the first section since you weren't really punished for it. Once I got to the car section and promptly died, I was annoyed that I had to start all the way back at the start again.
