This is really cool.  I hope if someone decides to use it they let us all know how it goes.  Personally, I don't have enough friends to even worry about someone asking me for a copy of a ROM :)

This looks sweet!  Any tips for someone who might want to get started in Atari programming (I have 30+ years dev experience, just never written a game).

So I have to say this is a pretty clever concept.  I love the idea of flipping the area the clock covers to get you out of the death zone.  Well executed!

It looks like you upped the price for being able to have access to the prior releases, which is fine, but now it appears that those of us that bought in at the prior price can't grab them anymore.  Does that mean that I have to pay the full entrance price again as opposed to the difference between what I paid initially and the current price?

And please don't misunderstand me - I'm not suggesting it isn't worth the price.  I'm just asking for clarification's sake.  Thanks!

So while I can't speak for the "accuracy" of many of them as I'm only familiar with the source material by name, they all sound great, and the ones I have heard before are spot on.

I suppose I should say I didn't like it just to be different, but that was quite enjoyable.  Easy to navigate, the graphics were great, and just enough challenge to feel like you accomplished something progressing through each level.  Well done!

That's awesome!  Does that mean that it won't be available standalone then?

That was a lot of fun!  It was just the right amount of tricky to make you think but not get frustrating.  Can't wait for the full game.

Thanks for the link, and I always try to give the developer a little something if I like what they are offering.  I come from the development world myself, and I know the hard work that goes into these projects!  Not to mention all the non-programming resources :)

This pack looks pretty cool.  Unfortunately I do not have a physical device.  I've been trying to track some of the games down so I can get digital versions if available, and I don't seem to be having any luck with Dungeon Next.  Do you know where I can find a digital version of that one to download or purchase?

Cute and short, which is about all I have time for in a game these days.  Loved the visuals, and the game play was basic but entertaining.  I am curious, however, if the version in the browser is the latest or not.  I must have wandered around the map 7 or 8 times, apparently missing two key conversations.

Thankfully I have this nifty little device from Anbernic (no, they didn't pay me to say that), so I threw the v2 download on there and was able to run through the game fairly quickly.  Which leads to my second question - is there a definitive ending?  I got what appeared to be a "Thank You For Playing" screen, but then it let me continue playing :)

I'm really excited for this and I love your attitude.  More power to the folks that drool over Doom: The Dark Ages, but I still have Doom: The Original (yeah, I know that's not the name) installed on my machine.  And often, that's high end for me :)

That was sweet!  One of the best intros of seen in quite a while.

Once I figured out what I was doing that was pretty slick!  Ending was a little anti-climatic, though :)  Good job!

Much better!

The background looks really cool, but it makes it extremely hard to read white text :)

I was afraid of that.  Just means I'm worse at the game than I thought :)

That you.  That is so much better than before.  Now I just have to figure out how to get good at the game.  I'm assuming it possible to heal?  I thought the pizza looking things to care of that, but it did not appear to be the case.

Love the visuals, and I like the idea of some of the bad guys being multi-colored (reminds me of a cool puzzle game I have on my iPad).  Any chance you'd consider adding arrow keys for movement?  As a left-hander, using the WASD configuration right next to my mouse gets me a bit cramped up.

Much better, thank you!  I will play around with it some more when I get a chance.  I do like the fact that you can actually adjust your attack if you hit the wrong key as long as you have enough time left.  Is there an end game or does it just keep going (or is that too much of a spoiler)?

How can I make this full screen?  Right now it is unplayable because the embedded window is so small I can't see either of the fighters.

Thanks for the response.  I'm avoiding the "full" spoiler for now - it's just good to know that there is a way to heal.  I'll keep trying to figure it out, and then smack my forehead once I realize how easy it was :)

So far I like the vibe.  Not trying to spoil too much here, but is there any way to heal?

How do you download the demo?  The only mention I see of it is in the list of files once you've purchased the game?

I don't want you to have to do a bunch of extra work, but it would be nice if the license agreement (and the new content list) were actually bundled up with the zip file for those that have actually purchased the various resource bundles.  Just something to consider :)

Well, I can't guarantee how much time I'd be able to put into it, but I'd be happy to take a look.  I've been a developer for more than 30 years and for quite some time I actually helped people beta test games, so I'm used to working with some rough stuff where software is concerned :)

Looks pretty nifty.  Any thoughts on an ETA for a demo (if there's even going to be a demo)?

That's too bad.  Sadly, I don't have the friends or the controllers for local multiplayer :)

Does this have AI opponent options or is it strictly multiplayer?

Yeah, I grew up on this kind of game, so I'm used to hovering around EVERYTHING to try and find interactive objects :)  I did mean to mention the ruler thing, as well.  The first time I did it was after I had already caused Rhonda to storm out of the room, but she still complained about it!  I guess she was yelling at me from the hallway?  Anyway, I know this game was totally for fun and silliness, but if you feel like tweaking at all I would suggest either not allowing that once she's gone or having a different response from either the werewolf or Klaus.  And yes, I know that's a lot of explanation for a what is effectively a sight gag :P

That got me intrigued so I went back and did manage to be able to relax :)  I just missed one of the items I could explore the first time around.

Well, that was... different :)   I will say that Roger screaming gave me a chuckle every time.  What did you use to create the game with?

So, I pretty much concur with all of the sentiments already expressed.  It was a fun little game, switching between the dog and ghost was cool, and the controls were sometimes frustrating (mainly when the wall jump and glide were competing with each other).  And boy was that ending cruel, especially after dealing with the hall of ghosts :)

Well, now we know that I don't know German :)  Anyway, sounds good to me.  I just bought it and sideloaded it to my device.  I'll let you know how it goes.

Does the game itself have English text as well, or is it just German? (sorry, not sure what language that is).

This looks great and sounds intriguing.  Can't wait for the demo!

Any thoughts as to when the first version of the new system will be available on the web site?  I have not tried the web version yet, but the screenshots look pretty slick.

That was cute.  In an era where it seems like most hidden object games have to be "adventure" games with a plot a mini-games and all that, it's nice to see one that goes back to the basics of just finding objects.  The interaction is nice and somewhat novel (once you figure it all out), and the visuals are great.

I would say there are two main issues for me.  The first is that it was sometimes hard to figure out what exactly you were trying to accomplish.  In the end I was able to complete it, but it just felt like some goals should have been a bit more obvious.  Second, some of the tasks were just tedious.  If you're going to have several "get multiples of these" quests, maybe a few less items per, specifically the cats and birds.  And while searching the windows was clever, that was also a bit much, especially since the interface to drag open the windows was a bit finicky.

Overall, I think this is a great start to a hidden object game, and I hope you have plans on expanding it in the future.

So if I'm reading the little bit of discussion that I can find on the topic correctly, is the only true "save" when you complete a section of the game?  For example, I was down to "one task left" on the garden cleanup and I had to quit.  Now I have to play the whole level over?  Not sure how difficult it is to implement a "save on demand" feature, but that almost seems like a necessity in modern gaming.
