Nice entry. I enjoyed the eerie feel, and definitely did the trick in disorienting me. Nice choices of sound effects and controls were not too sensitive. Maybe a mini-map with "fog-of-war" that's revealed when you cover it on foot?

I wasn't able to finish the game, because unfortunately I'm terrible at maze games. ;) From what I saw though, I think you did a great job! The audio creates a really ominous, creepy vibe. The ticking of the clock really started to piss me off in a good way! ;-) This is really helped by the camera effect that happens when you're close to dying. It maybe would help if there were a bit more points of recognition though, but again that might just because I suck at these type of games. :)

Rhythmic DystopiaWasn't much to do, but walk around. I think it'd be pretty cool have some kind of breadcrumb system. Maybe use light as a breadcrumb. The more you use the easier it is to find but easier for the darkness to get you. I don't know. Anyway I love the feeling and the quake feel to it. The sounds and tension were really enjoyable.

Silver Rule: PrologueA prototype, as the developer says, but surprisingly atmospheric. The clock tick is simultaneously quite unsettling, after a while, and a sign that you've ended up back in that room again. I should really make a map. Nicely implemented, and the graphics are excellent; you'd hardly know that it's only 64px square, although this is helped a bit by the "saminess" of them all; walls and floor and that's about it :) If this can be made into a small game and keep the atmosphere, it'll be good, I think!

Pipe FlipGot a definite Quake feeling from this one. I like the simplicity and the chillness of the audio.
I feel like the big central rooms could use more to distinguish themselves. I know that's what you've done a bit by altering placement of waterfalls and clocks, but I kept wondering if I had just walked in a circle back to where I started...

Seasons of FortuneWorks a lot better at 64x64 than the "Low Rez Edition" made out - went in expecting a game clearly just designed bigger then exported smaller, found myself in a game that, for its simplicity, was absolutely superb at generating an eerie, unsettling atmosphere with its aesthetic and its sound design. Definitely feel like this deserves expansion - there's not a lot to it as is, but a game of this style and this atmosphere has masses of potential.
One thing though, that I couldn't work out if it was a technical issue or just a confusing feature - every now and then (long before the game fades to red) I would get teleported around the map, and it threw my bearings off a lot.

Gossamer GirlsNice entry. I like the ambient, the mystery and the soundtrack, pretty cool. I'm giving this a high rate. Well done.
