August MAGS

I figured the votes would be on the website somewhere, I just didn't see them.Ã,  I may have looked before they were posted.

Anyway, I think the people who played the games should post comments about them saying what they liked and what they didn't like about each one.Ã,  16 votes doesn't tell you very much.

So here goes...

Magsic by Wretched (1st place)

Liked...Using music notes for puzzles was very inventive.Ã,  The drawings and tasks were fun and creative.

Disliked...The way you could lose all of the notes that you acquired when making the wrong note play.Ã,  Perhaps you could have just removed acquired notes one by one starting with the last one acquired.Ã,  That way the player wouldn't get as frustrated and so still has a good time even if they make several mistakes.

Buna Wants Beer by Pablo (2nd Place)

Liked...The way the Graphics looked.Ã,  Buna was fun to watch.Ã,  I figured more people were going to submit entries with talk bubbles that had drawings in them.Ã,  They looked great.Ã,  Oh yeah, I almost forgot...I like beer!

Disliked...The short amount of puzzles.Ã,  I wouldn't say anything about that normally because we all had a short amount of time, but I wanted more Buna.

An Aliens Work is Never Done by Henryhouse (3rd place)

Liked...The feel of the Graphics and Puzzles as they seemed Alien and creative to me.Ã,  I liked the Brainpower ablility the Alien had and how you could complete the puzzles by either figuring them out, by trial and error, or by cheating by using the Alien's Brainpower to levitate objects.Ã,  I of course liked the beer.Ã,  I liked that the walkthrough was included with the game.

Disliked...The Graphics as they didn't look finished.Ã,  The puzzles were also extremly hard to figure out.Ã,  I don't think that the clues were good enough for the average player.Ã,  I also disliked how the server I used couldn't keep up with the traffic I was getting.  Next time I will not post my games there.

Goontang Chackalaka by Fine Artist (4th Place)

Liked...That the graphics were done in only black and blue.Ã,  They went well with the attitude of the game.Ã,  I also liked the GUI for the inventory.Ã,  That was a great idea.Ã,  I can see someone copying that for a game in the future.Ã,  Maybe displaying the inner lining of a detectives jacket with pockets and sholder holster or something.

Disliked...The inside of the house.Ã,  I couldn't tell if those flowers were windows or pictures.Ã,  I also am not a big fan of this kinda of humor, but that is just my personal preference.

Dog Escape by ilSilente (5th Place)

Liked...The graphics and animations were great for only four days of work.Ã,  The bench puzzle was great!

Disliked...That you didn't get enough time to finish.Ã,  Are you going to complete it later on or are you working on other projects?

Everyone did great, but I agree with Pablo.Ã,  Wretched deserves to win and I think everyone knew it as soon as they played Magsic.

Yes. I made them available after your request. Usually they are kept hidden.

16 votes is a shame for the ags community.

16 votes doesn't tell you very much.

Actually this is an average number of votes! A lot more voices were counted in the early months of the online voting system but it was missused for cheats like "direct voting links" and so the "vote-on-2-clicks" system was added. This also prevents from "accidential votes" and works fine so far. Maybe we see more voices again when it's getting colder outside

Anyway, I think the people who played the games should post comments about them saying what they liked and what they didn't like about each one.

I think that's a really great idea! Of course it's also possible to post comments in the "Completed Game Announcements" but it's nice to see comments about the different game bundled here. You made a good start with your short reports. Thanks for this idea.

Maybe the administrators can keep this thread open for some more days so that we can share just some more impressions!?
