Really good work. It could probably use greater depth, maybe with the buildings being more relevant as previously suggested. Some AI would be nice too.

Interesting concept and it was strangely addictive. I think with some added depth it could be quite a time-sink.
There's some potential here, but for a game set in space, the navigation is extremely primitive. That alone can be dealt with but it also appears to be buggy. I found the first planet but on the second mission I when I got to the target planet, they wanted to give me directions. I carefully compared the names in the directions and the planet caption to be sure, and they were the same, yet it told me I had to go elsewhere.
While switching from keyboard to mouse interaction was a little rough, the actual feeling of the ship control was fine for me. It seems like a lot of people are impatient with any movement system that involves inertia or damping.
You have a really promising game here, it just needs some heavy balancing and bug fixing. I played the 48 hour version first, of course, but even the newer version had some issues with turret placement and fire radius.
Keep up the good work!
I launched chrome to try this and it proceeded through the tutorial. After that, there was nothing resembling a game.
Great game, I'm still trying to beat it. I think it would be nice to get some kind of merit bonus or power-up somehow so the result isn't quite as random.
Excellent work.
The music was nice, but I was disappointed to see the puzzle mechanics break down at the end. I didn't think it was excessively difficult, you just have to find the strategy.
Nice work, I these kinds of games when there's a final goal.
This was a unique take on the theme. The movement was a little odd since I don't expect to have so much drift on a human player, but it was easy to get past.
In the big fish room I found that the only way I could defeat him was to lure him to the 'ceiling' first and then get a blue pill. After he hits the top he stays there and you can comfortably grow to eating size. No matter what other method I tried, that trick was the only way I could beat it, and I was even able to get all 3 pills before that (by eating the shrink first, doh!)
Nice, I was having fun before I began to even play.
That's a solid game, great job. I especially enjoyed the music.
This game is aptly named!
It's a great puzzle though. Those direction shifting tiles really add a lot of depth and, of course, frustration.
I feel like this theme is open to a lot of interpretation, so good work!
53 seconds on medium, so no peeing on the floor.
I like that the movement is fast and sensitive. I felt like it was pretty intuitive to use multiple keys to get around corners. Good job on the maze and overall.
After a few tries I started to find the way you have to go, but since it's so easy to get stuck, even with double jump, it would be nice to not have to start all over.
The story reminded me of American McGee's Alice in a non-violent sort of way.
This was a lot of fun to play. I'm really glad that you put in savegame support too as I accidentally hit esc right about half way through.
It's a solid game as it stands, but I'd still love to see what you could do with a week of development.
I felt like I was ice skating most of the time, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The map technique was clever and the destructible walls were an especially nice touch.
On the MonoGame version I didn't seem to have any sound.
Good work!
It's an interesting game and I held off threats for a while before being overwhelmed. It would be nice to have more granular control over your ants so you could retreat workers and advance soldiers instead of being at the mercy of their appointed rounds.
My first thought was, "I'm a slightly less androgynous David Bowie!"
It didn't take long for that to pass. I'd love to see you do a little more with this. It's already a very deep and moving experience, a little polish would make it powerful indeed.
Great music, most annoying shoot sound ever. I think it's the pitch.
Overall a solid game, good work!
This has a tremendous amount of potential, great work!
As others have mentioned, I got stuck in a planet, but I also had a segfault while mining hard rock (linux-32). I loaded it up again and was unable to reproduce the issue.
Short, but reasonably good. Some visual feedback on the interactions would be nice.
It reminds me a little of those Grow RPG flash games.
I played one round through fine, then started it up again and got this a few turns in:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Filenames are case-sensitive in linux, maybe osx as well given its roots.
You can just run this from the game directory or maybe put it in the linux.sh, or fix case on your images.
find data/submarine/images/ -depth -exec rename 's/(.*)\/([^\/]*)/$1\/\L$2/' {} \;
It was a little trouble to get running, but I'm glad I did. There's a lot of game here and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and dialog.
The atmosphere was great, just wish my soldier could soldier.
The concept was interesting, but implementation was pretty light on detail, visuals, and features. It's a finished work though, it just needs some polish.
I finally got my unity plugin fixed!
Good game, a bit shallow but a solid concept.
This was a really unique take on the theme and the atmosphere was ominous, good work.
Cute, soothing music, generally nice feel to everything.
Finding all the parts got kind of repetitive, but I think I wouldn't have minded that if the jump hadn't been kind of odd. Sometimes I couldn't jump at all while running, other times if I held the key down I could jump three or four times in mid-air.
This was simple but fun to play, great work.
I love the top hat guy. It's really a clever concept and nicely implemented. The only thing missing for me was sound and music. Great work!
Neat idea here, it has a lot of potential.
Not bad. The blocking mechanic works, but it's really easy to get hung up to where you can't get free.
This was cool, I enjoyed it. It seems like Tondie can only take one hit though, then the whole thing just seizes.
2145 - It was fun and when it started to get repetitive, I got squished.
Good for a first game, nice job.
Simple and cute.
The music was nice and I like the feel of the cell movement.
I really enjoyed this, even though I detest spiders. I fired up Chrome to hear the sounds and the music was great. I'd love to see web upgrades, or spider growth so you can eventually feast on the bird.
The atmosphere was awesome. As I played the music and general sense of darkness made me think of American McGee's Alice.
ia! ia!
Excellent game, it's nice to see a fresh take on gameplay for this theme.
I have no idea what's going on here, but the music was interesting.
This was fun and original, great concept.
This was fun to play and looked great, good work!
In Windows I'm getting an error that the archive is corrupted. I can't unzip it.
While I did nothing but hold down the forward arrow key for all three levels, I thoroughly enjoyed doing it. The music was nice and with a bit more time you could turn this into a really great game.
Neat game!
I had a hard time seeing the dark grey text on the slightly less dark grey background.
I liked it, simple but enjoyable.
Nicely done, I didn't expect such polish and atmosphere from the initial screenshot.
The blind-folded prisoners gave me a chuckle, nice game!
Death and Hell are never full, and neither are the...shoes from space.
This looks great, but I'm having the same aiming issues. My spells fly off in various directions, but I did manage to shrink a monster and put it in my terr(a/o)rium.
This was fun. Once I figured out how the tile placement went in hacking mode it became much easier. I really like how you travel your 'hacked' path and the upgrades were unexpected, but very welcome.
Grow games rock. I have to agree that it moves a little slow.
Nice work!
I built it in a 64-bit environment and it worked fine, just had to get libtak.so into the library path.
The idea was good, but I didn't see much game. I placed some students and when they died I tried placing some more with mixed results and no real visual feedback as to why.
I think I got the same score as what's in your screenshot too.
The movement felt nice, but I kept getting stuck in blocks or glitched in the air.
I like the gameplay mechanics and the end-game reporting.
It was sometimes difficult to figure out what interactions were available, but otherwise very nice!
This was great, excellent work!
The lighting was a really nice touch. It was generally dark, but I got used to scrutinizing the corners for hazards.

People by BenW 2013-05-10T15:30:00
This was very relaxing to play. I enjoyed the subtlety of the gameplay and the music. The background voices really cement the atmosphere in the beginning.
Chez Angelo by EdoMiyamoto 2013-05-08T01:02:00
Very interesting atmosphere. Good work!
Minimalist Horror Story by MinionStudios 2013-05-08T00:53:00
Very good work. I escaped!
MINIMALIST INVADERS FROM OUTER SPACE by muton 2013-05-02T23:16:00
Neat game, very creative. The audio alone was a compelling reason to trash the place.
Minimally Run n Gun by madballneek 2013-05-02T23:11:00
I get that the controls ramp up and down and I'm ok with it. The game would be trivial without that mechanic, but it seems like if you don't have immediate movements people complain.
Bullet behavior was really the only thing I noticed that was problematic. Maybe there's a brief invuln period between hits?
Aduno by Justin Mullin 2013-05-02T01:29:00
Very good. This has a complete and polished feel.
Stalker by The Consul 2013-05-01T23:03:00
I was looking forward to trying this one after seeing one of your front page posts over the weekend. I'm a big fan of the novella and the work it has spawned.
This does a good job of capturing that atmosphere, but as others have said, it's a bit short.
Iceberg Explorer by kddekadenz 2013-05-01T22:22:00
Exploration was actually pretty fun. I only had a few minor issues. In the hot springs cave I fell through the world, but with some effort I was able to get back in the cave. Beyond that the way that climbing slopes felt was a bit odd, but nothing that couldn't be overcome.
Final Journey by Macroz 2013-04-29T22:29:00
I won, but it became very tedious after a short amount of time. The length of the run was a large part of it, but it might have also helped if the ship and oncoming obstacles moved more quickly.
On the bright side, this is the first game I've reviewed that made me feel like a salmon.
xro48 by larb 2013-04-29T22:09:00
This was relaxing to play around with. I think I might understand some of what I'm supposed to be doing now but some additional instructions would be helpful.
Octopia by My Sweet Whomp 2013-04-29T21:55:00
I really like the look of it, but I encountered some clipping issues with platforms. Very nice overall.
Red by artifex 2013-04-29T21:50:00
Nod bad, a little tough to get used to. It would be nice to have the ability to scroll the map before you start moving.
I'm really happy to see these unity entries working on linux!
Pilot & Command by HeyChinaski 2013-04-29T21:42:00
Great concept!
I can hear background music, but when I fire I get this:
line with format PCM_SIGNED 44100.0 Hz, 16 bit, mono, 2 bytes/frame, little-endian not supported.
and no shoot sound.
WALK by Nonameghost 2013-04-29T21:30:00
Good work, the linux x86 build ran nicely.
I enjoyed the narrative!
CIRCLE SQUARE TRIANGLE by tinytouchtales 2013-04-29T12:28:00
Simple concept + excellent execution = fun game
Great work!
Boogie Woogie by gabehollombe 2013-04-29T04:55:00
Neat game, nice atmosphere.
Super Minimalistic by spilth 2013-04-29T04:49:00
Interesting concept. I couldn't find any victory conditions, but I was able to traverse the map without picking much up.
Defense of the 8-Bits by NiftyLlama 2013-04-29T04:40:00
Not bad. It's simple but functional. I had one issue with collision, but I was able to break free from the wall and continue.
Kanvas Kombat by tnovelli 2013-04-29T04:33:00
I'm not sure why the lady in the evening gown wants to murder the guy in his underwear, but in any case, she probably needs more practical footwear.
The opening music was a nice touch, but I could not find a way to hit the opponent while he was inactive. It doesn't look like you can attack while jumping and no combination of attacks and movement got past his guard until I started moving both players at the same time.
Canon by sparkleswirl 2013-04-29T04:09:00
Brilliant concept and a solid implementation. It is hard, but it forces you to really break out of dull and mindless gameplay. It's a welcome change.
Hipster Annihilator 9000 by deige101 2013-04-29T03:47:00
I spent a decent amount of time trying to get jglfw to build and it just wasn't happening. I have to leave it unrated for now, but I'll try again later.
The Darkling Plain by theomnis 2013-04-29T03:46:00
This is a solid game and I enjoyed playing it. I like the quotes, but usually I was still clicking the moment after death so it was easy to click past the loss message.
