[Death of a Dungslinger]

Because of performance issues I could not finish this game. The audio completely bugged out as soon as I entered the snow race stage, I had no clue when he was throwing snowballs at me so I was always hit, and that made us always neck and neck which caused him to rapid fire snowball after snowball after snowball after snowball at me so I just could not win. I finally found an optimal route and he caught up with me just at them end and... threw another snowball at me. Luckily I was in the air and the collision sent me flying down the race track all the way through the finish line and past it so I won. But the audio just kept getting worse, when I was trying to fire green zone shots in the rink it kept not registering, then after restarting the stage multiple times the video started compressing and pixelating to the point it was completely unplayable.

Great concept, very poor implementation.

[Eat Peanut Butter and Jelly]

11 get

[CAR GODS]

good concept but so buggy that it is unplayable

[Pengu: Lost and Wanted DEMO]

I broke out of bounds lol

[Level 9 Access]

I can't play tape 9 on hard even if I beat all the other levels on normal and hard and after I beat tape 9 on normal tape 9 completely disappears

[Cursed Dungeon Escape]

Looks good, but not hallenging t all.

First, if you click the start credits screen repeatedly the INSERT COIN text will keep flashing over and over.

Next, if you are going to make this keyboard only controls then why even have mouse controls just for the menus? Clunky, and you can't make this work with controller. Get rid of the mouse and make it keyboard only (then you can add controller support).

Finally, the keyboard controls are too crowded because you made movement WASD then made actions JKL. Make the movement arrows and the actions ZXC, and change the selection button from Enter to Space.

Nice challenge, good enemy variety, endearing graphics, and level design that makes a player want to do time trials. This could be a full game.

Edit: This has been fixed now!

That's what I get for making controls be to my preference and follow how buttons are on a NES or SNES controller (D-pad/joystick on left hand and action buttons on right hand). I've never liked using arrow keys for movement especially in 2D platformers.

[Robots Out of Time]

No local multiplayer, only 1 lobby, but that doesn't matter because no one else is online.

[Primal Planet DEMO]

Game does not save, and about 30 minutes after starting both times the audio went nuts at an insane volume and the entire game froze.

SeethingSwarm responds:

Thanks for the comments and the nice score, I really appreciate it.

There is no permanent save in the demo unfortunately :/

I'm so sorry to hear the game froze on you. Does this happen often? I'm not sure if you want to, but you could try the demo on Steam; the desktop version is a bit more performant than the browser version.

If you don't mind telling me, do you remember where the game froze? How often does it happen? Does the game run smoothly otherwise? And if you don't mind giving me your computer's specs I'd appreciate that too. I've had a few reports of the game freezing, and it seems to be related to the browser version, but I'm not sure. It will also be useful to know if the Steam version freezes on you too. Any information could be helpful, thanks!

Again, my apologies.
