[Candy Ball 3xb]

It would have helped if the colours were brighter and more visually distinct

Artur-Felipe responds:

Thanks for the tip.

[Watch Dogs]

so much dogs to watch at watchdogs

Aprime responds:

I should have put the occasional cat in to throw people off.

[Antumbra]

The surreal tag couldn't be less accurate.This is the epitome of what Surrealism stands for, the dilemmas of religion, and the deep secrets of inner personality and psychology. Hats off to you and I hope that more aspiring developers follow your example.

Vilehead responds:

Thank you Smith! :D I was actually very scared should I publish Antumbra anywhere. Surreal theme, to this degree is not a very common or trendy thing. Its as far from the mainstream as possible. And people fear the non-mainstream. Players and developer alike. And as a player, I miss those sort of games. When you browse through Steam or GOG or any other games portal, you start to notice that pretty much all there is - are clones, sequels, prequels and reskins. Its very hard to to find "something else". Because "something else" is a niche thing. Like Roguelikes, like text games. Those do not gain a lot popularity in eyes of masses. That's why I find unbelievable that Antumbra, being as niche as its possible - found such a huge audience and gained so much fame. I was prepared that maybe a guy or two will come over here, to write me a review. But right now - I stare at the "21 pages" of reviews, and I stand in awe.
And guess what is the #1 game on IndieDB right now?

From the very morning I cannot find a way to close my jaws. And my mind blew long time ago already.

pressing a button opposite to the direction you are going (ex. pressing left while going to the right) makes you to lose

egg82 responds:

Yes, the Nokia version also has that which is why I left it in as a feature rather than a bug. There are a few design choices I wouldn't have made but did because it's a "clone"

[Randomist Story Time]

wow..you really came along a long way

MrRandomist responds:

Thank you and definitely. I hope in another 6 years I'll be able to say the same thing.. :)

[Road of the Dead 2]

WATERMELON DAY!
anyway this game is great although it lags once in a while.
Good luck with the unity project

Evil-Dog responds:

Thanks man

[Windows Vista Errors]

i cant get the why seriously? medal thingy

TheMadWasp responds:

I'm assuming you want a walkthrough?
Okay.

[Fast Box]

too slow movement
gaps need to be wider

fahadraghied responds:

The idea is to fit exactly in the gap!

[Ultimate Frontier]

the rage meter fills too often
you can still be hit during the weapon choice menu
variety of enemies was good tho

JokerDenFromMR responds:

Right now I updated the game and you can check some fixes.
