"Sounds good"

submission: Gem Trees

date: September 28, 2009

The one thing that really stands out to me in this game is the sound effects. I found that pretty entertaining, thumbs up!
The graphics are pretty solid as well, but I found the gameplay somewhat lacking. Had there been more to this game, I'd probably find myself returning to this every now and then. As it is, though, it's pretty much a "check out, smile and forget" kind of game. Why don't you try something a little bigger next time?

Score: 5

"Disappointing"

submission: The Bubble King

date: September 21, 2009

It is audio-visually pleasing, but the gameplay isn't all that compelling. I suppose it's a well made minigame, but from the maker of Cyclomaniacs, I expected something more.

Score: 10

"Inspiring"

submission: Time Fcuk

Although not as impressively innovative as Braid, this gives me a similar mood. It makes me want others to experience this, although I know some of them are not at all enthusiastic about the medium of computer games. I find myself wanting to reproduce the mood in rpg form.

In terms of audiovisuals, I'd say this achieves a similar kind of minimalistic mastery to recent flash star Canabalt.

In the end I find myself frustrated with my inability to come up with a solution to the final level, because I really, really want to know how it ends - which says a lot about how much I like the story. Which is, well, a lot. If I had more arms, I'd give you more thumbs up, but I'm afraid you'll have to settle for two.
