Comments:
Excellent graphics and nice music, but I got extremely annoyed by the random 
pop-up battles. It was all like "Walk three steps, not knowing where you go 
and be attacked!". The plot wasn't too bad, but I didn't find the game very 
original or enjoyable. A shame -- it could've been really good.

Heh... A one-board item-hunting game. Obviously submitted as a joke, but it 
wasn't even THAT bad. I actually enjoyed the one board. :P Other than that, 
this is not getting much from me. But hey. :P

Comments:
A nice game, but rather bland. Nothing special in the area of graphics, 
programming or use of the theme. It did play rather smoothly, so that's 
good. Another big plus of this game is the music, which I thought was most 
excellent.

Comments:
When I loaded this game, I thought "hey, this is gonna be fun!". Alas... 
'press SPACE to talk'? Oops. Couldn't talk. That's the major downfall of 
this game... a huge bug. A shame, since it seemed funny to me and the 
graphics were rather spiffy and funny (just look at the characters :P). The 
chiptune music was pretty nice, too. Alas, alas, that's all I have to add 
here.

Comments:
Definitely the best entry of the day, in my opinion. The graphics are fresh 
and funky, the gameplay is varied with some funny mini-games, the music is 
good and the overall feeling was good. Once again, it wasn't very original 
as far as the topic was concerned, but then again, none of the entries 
really were.

Comments:
Disappointing -- it all started out too fast-paced and the gameplay is plain 
annoying. The whole thing just didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Not 
very original either, but hey, at least the graphics were fairly okay and 
the music was good.


=== #64966: All in a Day's Work

Comments:
This could have been much better if it had been worked out a bit more. The 
whole entry seemed a tad bit off to me. Still, the plot twist at the end was 
good enough. The different attacks were nice, too. It's a shame you didn't 
include any music -- it cost you a lot of points, I'm afraid.
