Cool choice of game, I love a good lighthouse. I'd like a bit more variation and a simpler interface, but otherwise really great.

Finally, a game about MY life! Seriously though, this is ingenious. Love the DOS style design, but there is no number 14 on my keyboard.
Cool! This reminds me of doing the shopping. Also there's a Daneil Shiffman video where he automates this. Keep it up.
What a lovely, lovely game. Full of feeling. Great feel, really enjoyed it.
Nice work, enjoyed playing it. Game of Life is an excellent choice.
You are a beautiful man, with a beautiful impenetrable game. I feel like a complete dolt playing it and thoroughly enjoyed every moment! One question...How can I grow a proper tree? Owl
Snap! I also did something Conway related, but totally different. Yours is much more true to original GOL, nice work.
Played this before ratings were turned on. Now rated, really like it, simple but effective, takes a bit of playing about with the get working properly.
Cool, sophisticated game, amazingly built in the time available. Top work, would have liked some sounds.
Nice Tamagotchi implementation. I think that it slightly trips up by not having more of an emotional attachment to the character, perhaps a bit of music would help? Also a nice font would do just the job. Well done.
A cool, stylish clicker game. Everything gels together just right. I'd love some of this art used in a more developed game, but nice work.
What a lovely game. Great guitar with backward effects. Only thing I would love to see is some sort of mouse vector aiming system instead of keys, to give more precision.
Cute, nice use of assets, would have liked a little more close control of spikes, unless I'm misunderstanding. I'm sorry for what happened to you, on the internet.
Clever little idea, almost like placing things on electric circuits. One thing I'd like to see is smoother motion when the towers move. Good clean interface and super non-verbal (i.e. no instructions required). Nice work.
Very nice, I did a Conway based game as well if you fancy it. Good work.
This reminds of the time each summer my father used to take my sister and I out to the woods, and leave us there. Memories keep flooding back. Seriously though, well done keep it up!
This is a really fun game. Very well put together and thought out. I'd like a little more momentum in the movement, but the animation and capsule mechanics are bang on.
Really cool, stylish piece of work. The music gels perfectly with the pop-art visuals. I also love the font. I find the actual mechanism of shooting a bit opaque, perhaps a click down when pulling back to charge to separate the two states, plus a sound effect would help. Otherwise super!
Awesome vibey little number this. Great music and lovely lo-fi graphics.
Hard as nails, yet cuddly like the teddy bear I sleep with each night. Love it.
What a weird wet and wild game. I like how your camera Lerps into place like a madman, sort of like 70s cinema with those enormous crash zooms. God I hope those chickens are OK, I know I'm not.
This game is wildly ambitious. Although I love the idea, it does seem too much and these things are always balancing nightmares anyway. I really hope you try and do something with this in the future.
Beautiful art and music, really well put together.
He opened the game. At once he was overcome by a rich rush of nostalgia at the distinguished sepia of its presentation. He read on, following the tale with ever greater curiosity. He was slightly confused by the plant game at the end. Lotsa fun, would like a little more game at the end. Or perhaps this is all I deserve.
What a strange and interesting game, clearly the work of a busy ICT technician who conducts historical re-enactments on the weekend. It's really whimsical and witty (whitty?). Excellent work.
Nice Low Poly modellings, cartoon shaders, particle effects, good work. Would have liked a little bit of gentle camera rotation if possible, plus some music or even some old geezer telling a tale!
This game is wild. It reminds me of B-Games like those by Jazzuo (Sexy Hiking). There is very little I can add, except for the music is a thrilling, deafening symphony of bleeps. Keep it up.
Very charming, nice low poly style, Would have really liked all the sound, movement to gel together a bit more. Otherwise really good.
Good work getting it out there! Eerily effective and a little too close to my life right now for comfort. Played it for a bit then shivered in a corner for the next half hour. What did you build it in?
Cool game, feels genuinely retro, shame no sounds. Excellent work.
This is a beautiful game, the art is just right. I'd love to be able to make things like this. I really like how its made in 3D with an orthogonal camera, giving it a great 2.5d feel. One thing I'd like is for the sun to have a bit of heft an momentum, perhaps with keys adding on some acceleration, which decelerates on release. This would also give a more dynamic feel to the background colour transition. Overall excellent work.
Nice art, I think could do with a little more explanation in places, otherwise really good.
Good first effort. Nice variation on flappy bird, does need some instructions for stupid people like me. Well done.
Really cool animation and good idea. Very addicting, need to lock that camera down a bit. Great work.
This is a really cool game. Great tone and mechanics. I love that it asks the player to think creatively and come up with their own conclusions. Would make a great online party game.
Great art. At first I thought I wanted the conversations in game to consist of more than just repeating back commands, but then I thought no. I want all conversations in real life to be more like this! Lovely sprite work and music.
Cool, interesting idea that brings back some memories...now all I need is my jog-proof cd player. I'd like it with some different levels made up of classic games.
GODDAMN WASPS! Excellent game, nice lively feel. Top Work.
Fantastic visuals, how you got this done so quickly I will never understand. Game is a little bit opaque in places. First prize to the sound effects for the poor sick vegetables. I will never look at a ratatouille the same way again.
THis is cool, I like the Bennett Foddy-esque deliberately foreign controls. I'd like for this game to have me desperately reaching all over keyboard for foreign and strange combinations. Also smkoing dogs, nice work. Tricky to get them to do it and I've only achieved it a handful of times! Keep it up.
A dangerously hard game with some dangerously hard slap-bass playing. Amusing and tortuos in equal measure. Sir, I salute you!
Really nice art but a bit tricky to use, I must admit I'm having trouble getting this to work. Perhaps it's just me. Music is perfect for concentration (not). Nice work.
Thanks!
Well aren't you just nice, nice people!
Thanks very much @misterkeefe, really liked your game.
Thanks @ofirma85, that's the idea!
Thanks @qazikol, really good to hear.
Thanks very much @foursay. Really nice to hear.
@jupiter-hadley. Thanks very much!
Cool idle, very relaxing, I would like to hear some chill music if possible.
Awesome game, really good.
This is a really cool, snappy visual novel with lots of great description. Nice work.
Awesome game, really funny and cool.
This is a really fun and well thought out puzzle platformer. I'd love to see a little more time put into creating some juice, i.e. momentum, shake etc, plus a bit more ui flair. Otherwise really solid.
Really cool game, though not always sure exactly how to achieve my aims. Really good art, nice work overall.
Really fun game, nice work!
This is a really and addictive little game, nice work!
Good fun (in principle), but so so hard! Good effort!
Really cool and fun, nice work and easy to play. Love it if it were developed a bit more.
Spooky game alright. I found this a really interesting idea but a little difficult to engage with immediately, perhaps a little more onboarding might help, some tutorialising perhaps?
Really interesting, excellent graphics nice work.
I ran.
really cool and creative game, nice work!
Really cool, well presented game. Great ideas. Love it, fantastic game.
What a great game - a portal flappy bird! Beautiful ui, would have loved some hotkeys for the three buttons.
Nice work, I too struggled with a bit of usability, but appreciate the work that went into the atmosphere and feel of the whole game. I'm not so smart so a little more instruction would be great but excellent effort!
Woah this is an awesome idea that could totally be developed into a full game, love what I'm seeing so far, aesthetic is great.
Cool, tricky platformer, really nice. Can't add much which hasn't been said but well done!
Excellent work, really cool and great audio.
This is a really cool, well thought through game, I cannot believe this is your first game!
Interesting game with cool dreamy mood, nice work!
Really cool looking, how do you play it?
