[Milk Quest: Milk & Cookies]

Looks like the statue is holding a cup of piss

[Pizza Kidd - NEW DEMO! 🍕🔥]

The boss got stuck in a permanent sideways drill attack state and there was nothing I could do. It was impossible to attack him without taking damage myself

Thank you so much for providing this feedback! We will continue to refine the enemy AI along with the rest of the game...we apologize for any additional issues you may have experienced. 🦾🍕

Is level 26 an Action 52 reference?

I'm noticing a few bugs. While you get the world-two-unlocked medal at the right time, when you complete 5 levels, you actually unlock the world before that, when you unlock the fifth level, so you will have only completed 4 levels.

Also, if you beat a level and return to the menu instead of proceeding to the next level, the next level isn't unlocked and you have to beat the previous level again.

[Let's Make Television]

The pictionary game was good, and it was easy to see how the AI worked into it. I couldn't get past the hide and seek game, though. It was way too unforgiving by giving you one life, and too punishing by having you have to go back to the socializing section when you lose.

More hidden layers than Baba is You. More UI breaking than There is No Game

[Primal Planet DEMO]

Very impressive game. I'll give it a high score despite some unfortunate playability issues. The game froze requiring me to refresh the page twice. The first time was right before I reached the masked man, and the second time was after I had nearly cleared Forest02 and had gone back to Forest01 to try and kill the T-rex, and that time the freeze was accompanied by loud overlapping noises. Since the game doesn't save progress between refreshes, I guess I probably won't finish it.

EDIT: I did end up finishing the demo because the save system started working and the crashes became less frequent. Despite all the locked-off areas, it still ended up being considerably larger than I expected. It was too bad the whole village was destroyed right after you went through it and possibly even invested in it. I actually started a new game because I had remembered one of the huts could teach you to craft firestarters, but I hadn't noticed that they were locked (which I assume is to prevent players from exploring beyond the bounds of the demo).

One of the most frequent glitches I encountered is that it looks like you're splashing in water when you're not in the water, so I'm wondering if it's possible that it triggers the effect for you when your pet goes in water

Yay, I got the speedrunner achievement on my first try! 13m15s. That was the only achievement I got though. It's frustrating when enemies are close to the top of their area because if you ascend accidentally you can't get back down to kill them

I tried hard first, and won on my first try with no take-backs! It definitely felt like the opponent's turns took way too long. Then I tried easy, and while the opponent moved much faster as expected, I actually found the game to be harder, paradoxically. I tried killing all the Infected and the game froze on the opponent's turn, and then outputted what I assume is some of your source code in an error message.

The game design is great, though. I found myself learning strategies naturally as I took what I thought was the best move one turn at a time, and I accidentally formed a sort of impenetrable diamond pattern

[Scrap Your Pants]

Exploded with less than a second left :(

You can do it! Best card for starters is no centipides or a shield, buy repair every time even if costly!

[Monkey's Cards]

This is missing a lot of quality-of-life features like dragging and auto-freecell when moving stacks. And the magic wand gets stuck in back-and-forths to the point where it becomes useless. In Spider Solitaire it doesn't even prioritize same-suit stacks, making it often worse than useless. It should be able to tell when it's just moving a card to another stack that doesn't give any advantage.

Also, I was confused by the non-standard symbols. I thought the queen was an ace because the triangle looked like an A. Still not sure why the standard letters weren't used
