This game was so beautiful. I loved it's adherence to the silent film style through-and-through. Especially how all of the sound effects were musical instruments like they would have been in silent films and animated shorts back then. My only piece of feedback is that there was one frustrating level where it felt like you had to have perfect mushroom placement in order to not get killed from spikes on the right wall. Other than that area though, this entire game was a joy to play.

Lumi and the Dark NightI love the art style, the music and the theme! Really nice little platformer. I really like the fluid animations and how the sound effects blend in with the music.

Golfing GodsA whimsical game faithful to its source material, I enjoyed the simple yet elegant platforming and maneuvering through the levels and making it back to Earth. My only criticism is the tutorial prompts that explain the controls disappeared as quickly as they appeared, making it impossible to read them. I had to go back to the game page to see if the controls were listed.
Fantastic work!

CosmonautyThis is such a unique art style, with the music this game brings you to a certain mood. With the interesting cartoon looking characters, this game surely stands out from all the entries. The gameplay is fun too. Great feel on the jumps. The only bad thing is I encountered a bug on one of the levels where I fell through the ground and basically did not respawn. I tried using the reload option from the menu but it did not help. So I had to quit the game.

Moon HeistWoahhh I loved this, was really funny. Everything tied together really well. Played with one of our other devs, I think one of the best things for us was that there are no cutscenes, you play through it all, yet it seemed so cinematic.
Thanks :O

My Summer InternshipI and my wife both really enjoyed this game. We played on the controller, btw, so gliding felt smooth. Kudos for the art and music. You managed to recreate the atmosphere of a silent film, but the game feels more like a fable.
There's a minor gameplay issue on the screen with a central pillar (the last screenshot). If the player falls through near the pillar, it's impossible to come back and the scene has to be reloaded from the menu.

Moonshot ExpressWow great game! Good gameplay, great art obviously! A few times I fell off of the level without dying, but luckily you had a restart screen button.
