Played it single player so I didn't really get much of the strategy and fun part, but it seemed like it would have been pretty good with both players.

Only getting a large gray box in Firefox with the coordinates and button...
Very interesting idea, though very difficult to play I found. Would definitely be fun with more gameplay to it.
The guy moves around very slipperily, so it was hard to get the coins. Also switching between the worlds I always ran out of time. I am probably just bad at it.
The graphics are pretty good, and sound effects are decent, though there is no music. This could possibly go somewhere with more work.
Could not figure it out... Didn't spend that long though.
Seemed pretty interesting though. If I had more patience and time I'm sure I'd have played with it longer.
Looks interesting and the movement is cool. Couldn't really figure out how the game bit worked, wandered around a bit but I didn't really get it. I tried interacting with the stuff but it felt like nothing was going on. No sound, graphics are minimalistic but they are good
A solid platformer. Story is pretty interesting. Fire rate is a little slow for the number of enemies that are there at times, but health is so high its hard to die anyway. Getting those switches for the laser gates should have some indication of it working.
The graphics are cute, but the sound effects get pretty annoying. For an idle game it would be better to not have so much noise.
Pretty good idea, but pretty difficult and unforgiving. The yellow zones make the game feel boring, and sometimes the purple ones didn't work. I went back down instead of through the tubes once after starting and skipped the last level.
Music is interesting and sound effects are pretty good.
Interesting game. Graphics and sound are good, the gameplay worked well. More variety in the spheres could have been good, but the game was pretty short so it didn't get too tiring. The collisions with the purple spheres was kind of odd, they didn't look like solids but they felt like it.
Very enjoyable overall.
Pretty cool idea. I like the music a lot... too bad I can't rate it.
The game is pretty fun too. Could use an explanation of what the goal is but I figured it out pretty quick.
Pretty interesting. Kind of difficult to get used to the controls at first, but by the end the controls don't really matter... My thing got so big it didn't fit on the screen, let alone at the same time as boss. Not sure if I killed it or not, but I'm thinking not. No sound, and graphics are alright, but the grid sometimes doesn't draw the last line on the right. Fun while it lasted, but eventually became mindless.
Pretty good space colony take over the other guy's land kind of game. Very similar to all the others, but the bridges idea is good and execution is good. Graphics and sound suit it well. AI can be overwhelming at times, but not terribly.
Pretty good. The movement was a bit too slippery but other than that its very well done. More levels, sound and music would have been good if you'd had more time.
Wandered a bit and collected some things, gave it to some people, but really was kind of confused the whole time. Seemed like it could have been interesting with more explanation.
Pretty well silent, and graphics were not particularly great. All white and the text went over everything no matter where you looked from. Walking was very slow and the viewing perspective made it unfriendly to play.
Played with it until everything died and everything was purple. Didn't seem much like interaction to me things just disappeared when i touched them. It looks pretty good though. No sound or gameplay really, but interesting anyway. My arm is a bit sore though since there's no holding the button to move...
The story was interesting, though the games didn't make a lot of sense. Music and graphical styles were very contrasting, but worked pretty well I think.
Getting that crash issue too.
Binaries on Windows 7 64-bits.
Very unique and interesting gameplay, very enjoyable. Graphics are nice and clean, though sound is a bit annoying at times - when it repeats over and over while you're too close to a wall. And it could use some music.
Gets very difficult, and I couldn't finish all the levels. I might go back to it later.
Scared to call - long distance charges are probably going to be given and I don't want to spend money...
It's very tempting though...
Fun game. Wasn't very difficult, and didn't seem to get much harder. The powerup seems to have made it harder rather than make you stronger though.
Seems like an interesting idea but I didn't know what was going on - Probably due to it being unfinished.
I got stuck between some gates at some point and had to stop.
The nice looking things looked nice, and the sound effects were not bad. Not much in terms of game though.
Pretty good game. There are upgrades and things to unlock that make it stay interesting. The idea is pretty good, and the gameplay is decent. The music is nice, but there are no sound effects. Graphics were a bit blurry at times, but not too terrible.
Kind of just ran through to the end. Pressed space a bit but the enemies never died. It wasn't very difficult but it was interesting anyway. The guys were kind of funny to watch wander around and squish up together.
Interesting idea. Took a few rounds to get the hang of it but eventually made sense. Never got to close the gate, as I ran out of time, but it was interesting while it lasted. Graphics are nice, and sound fits it pretty well. Good game overall.
Pretty fun, very short. Graphics were nice, and music was good. Could have used more sound effects though. Played it with a PS3 controller which worked well, controls felt good, though the attack was very slow. More features and stuff would make this quite a good game.
The player started halfway off the screen, which I felt was kind of strange. The controls were a bit odd too, the way the jumps and movement work is not natural. Colour choice is a little painful as well. With a bit of work this game has potential though - the idea is good.
Great game. Very well done.
Puzzles are great, and number of levels and content is good for 48 hours. They get repetitive after a while too, so I think it would get tiring with too many more.
Good idea, but controls were a bit questionable. 1234, arrow keys and mouse are all so far apart it takes a lot of hand rearranging to play properly. Also some collisions with the block while it's being dragged were weird.
The game itself is good though, interesting idea and use of theme. Graphics and sound are pretty good.
Great game. The puzzles are good. The graphics are simple but nice. The music and sound are calm and relaxing. Story is interesting. Only problem is I didn't figure out how to end it, just kept wandering and then got lost and gave up...
The minigames are interesting, though it was a bit of a weird setup. Having to restart the whole thing to retry any one of the games confused me. The graphics weren't super great, but they weren't bad (you're not /that/ horrible an artist)
The music was interesting, but it was really loud compared to other programs, and very busy, making it hard to listen to. The sound effects were pretty good though.
Interesting puzzle, though a bit buggy with the collisions at times. Very challenging for one player, I gave up after a while. I might try again with another person later.
Graphics are pretty plain. Music and sound sound nice, though the song gives the game a darker feeling sort of?
I liked it overall - good work.
Unique and fun game. Pretty difficult though. Its hard to look at both places at once and draw the lines accurately. The graphics and sounds are pretty good, though nothing super special. Very interesting idea though.
Well done, though controls could have been better. Space to change level instead of enter, and maybe also space instead of clicking on the objects would have made it much nicer to play. The game itself is good though, interesting idea. Graphics and sound are nice as well.
Pretty interesting, though the bullets kind of just wash in and kill you - no chance of avoiding or fighting back against them.
Fun though, good work.
The collision detection is very inaccurate and leads to the game being frustratingly difficult. The game is pretty fun, but I couldn't keep doing it because I ragequit at the walls. Sound effects sounded odd, and no music. Graphics were kind of blurry.
Felt kind of weird, with the controls as they were. Messed me up a little. Also I know almost nothing of religion so I didn't really know what I was doing at first. Graphics are decent, and the sound effects are alright. Gameplay is not really that interesting however.
Didn't want to do the whole installer thing, so its a good thing I have GM:S or I'd have not played it. I suggest compiling as a standalone executable next time.
Interesting idea, and really nice graphics. Lack of sound and levels, and the awkward controls made it difficult to play. I had a hard time not falling off stuff and controlling the ghost.
Glad to know you guys are liking it so far!
I'll consider continuing it one day - Get some nicer graphics, fix this sound loudness that seems to be an issue for some, and then make it longer. I have a number of other serious game ideas that I'll have to work on (and hopefully sell) so I'm not sure about it.
Haha yeah walking and walking... I was tired of it too believe me. Last time I made an RPG you couldn't run. That was even worse. I think I'll perfect the walking balance in a game eventually.
Also, glad you like the menu system - I've gone through many attempts until settling on this one.
The game seemed interesting but the controls were unfriendly and made it hard to play. The graphics are nice, and the sound is pretty good. Pretty fun, but would have been more fun with nicer controls. Good game overall.
Good idea and interesting gameplay. Got boring and really difficult eventually. Controls sometimes bugged out, leaving the ghost moving in one direction without the button being pressed. Graphics were good, no sound was not good.
The graphics look great - much nicer than mine. I like your collision engine too... How you slide off the round things.
Could use a better dialog system than show_message though - those are a bit awkward feeling at times.
The story is interesting, kind of mysterious. Overall the game is good for someone just starting out!
Pretty interesting, looked nice. Hacking felt like a different game though, and the lack of failure penalty made it very unexciting. A lot of the time you could just avoid the robots but then you'll get seen by one wrong and die. Wasn't very clear what was going on for a while. The graphics are great though, and the sound is pretty good.
Tried to play it but it closes immediately... Couldn't get it to run... Windows version on Windows 7 HP x64.
Interesting spin on Tetris. Pretty challenging but fun to play. With a little more polish it would probably do well.
I feel like it would play better on mobile, where touching is easier to aim than the mouse.
Mouse and arrow keys is not a good control scheme. Use WASD if mouse is necessary.
Way too difficult and I didn't really get what the goal was. Might have been interesting with more polish.
Good platformer, though the music gets pretty repetitive quickly. The graphics are good, and the other sounds are good. Level design is nice too, but it plays pretty slowly.
Couldn't tell what was going on. Good and bad guys were pretty indistinguishable to me. I also couldn't control what was going on so I just dropped things randomly and let it go. Graphics are good, sound is good. Gameplay is questionable.
Interesting idea and good story but very difficult. Much to slippery for the type of game it is. Also the gray colour of the background looked like default room colour to me which just gives me a bad feeling usually...
Good use of connecting. Graphics looked nice but could have used animation. Also could have used sound.
The idea is good, and with more work I can see this being fun to play. More stuff to find, slightly quicker travel, etc would make this a great game.
Hey HayManMarc - thegame from GMC here
Nice work on the game. Controls were a little difficult at times, but the idea is great. The only problem is how long it takes to respawn - you fall for hours and I keep pressing R by habit and restarting the whole game...
I really enjoyed the parallax though, very cool. Colour contrast was low so it was hard to see at times but the graphics looked fine otherwise.
More of a story than a game. Visual novels generally include some sort of decision making that affects the outcome. Story was pretty good though.
Took a while to figure out as nothing is labelled. Pretty fun and of reasonable difficulty when it starts going. Could really use some clarification in a lot of places though. Graphics are very nice.
Interesting story, but I kept reaching unfinished endings and then gave up trying to find a not-unfinished one. There were also a few typos in the text. No sound or graphics, due to it being a text game. The layout was fine, but didn't seem to add to the lonely motel guy atmosphere.
Looks great, but plays kind of weird. Couldn't really figure it out. Jump was strangely high, and mining/fighting felt weird. Music is alright, but there are no sound effects.
The idea is interesting, and the gameplay is pretty good. A little confusing at times, I never figured out how to progress other than to attack and wander and then eventually die because I didn't pay attention to my health. Graphics are fitting, and looked pretty good. No sound though, which would have been good. I liked it overall.
I am interested because it says cat... but my Linux machine won't run the game for some reason. I think I might have installed the operating system slightly wrong. I wish I could play this one :S
Great game. The story is interesting and the messages that come up are entertaining. Interesting gameplay too.
Got kind of tiring after a while with so much wandering and such slow acceleration and underwater movement.
Music got repetitive after a while too, but its pretty good. Sound effects work well. Graphics look great, other than the few animations that aren't there.
I couldn't find the end though... I feel like I was missing some people but I couldn't take the walking around anymore.
Seems interesting but I couldn't figure out how to not kill all my employees so I gave up. Graphics are pretty good though a bit blurry at times, no sound (as you mentioned).
Very well done in every way. Ending was a bit anticlimactic but excellent overall.
