As for Amadeus I really like the idea behind it, I think a child trying to find his parents is a theme everyone can relate to. The visuals look good which helps the game, but I wish the mechanics and gameplay would feel a bit more dynamic and challenging, because I was able to beat the game in just 1-2 minute and didn't really feel rewarded for doing it. Overall I like the game considering the struggle you've gone through with the theme, keep creating looking forward to new game from you!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"nilead","author_uid":"1002928","time":"2017-05-01T15:06:24Z","epoch":1493651184,"modified":1493651184,"text":"The artstyle is pretty improvable, but the idea could become something if you evolve it into something more polished.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Mutfak Studios","author_uid":"1013063","time":"2017-05-01T15:24:40Z","epoch":1493652280,"modified":1493652280,"text":"Game was too short.But i liked your efforts :) I got really scared by that ghost.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Mr_Field","author_uid":"1001607","time":"2017-05-01T18:15:41Z","epoch":1493662541,"modified":1493662541,"text":"I think that the room transition is quite nice, but the ghosts movement allows you to beat the game very quickly. I also thought I had lost the game the first time I got to my mum, since the game didn't do much to convey that I had succeeded.\n\nOverall, I think you did a great job, considering the time you had.\n\nWith some polish and extra work, this could become something really challenging and fun.\n","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Matoux42","author_uid":"1027643","time":"2017-05-06T21:32:20Z","epoch":1494106340,"modified":1494106340,"text":"Cute game :grinning:","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"sgstair","author_uid":"1014241","time":"2017-05-16T09:11:47Z","epoch":1494925907,"modified":1494925907,"text":"Nice start, definitely needs more gameplay. The ideas remind me of some older console games whose names I forget :) The level is definitely graphically complex, and you may have spent too much time on graphics, it's an easy trap to fall into. Side note is I instinctively clicked on the wall to try to move to that point, and that doesn't seem to work.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Rubel_NMB","author_uid":"1027362","time":"2017-05-16T21:48:28Z","epoch":1494971308,"modified":1494971308,"text":"Nice entry, short but enjoyable!\n\nAnd thanks for playing my game!
