Is it true or is it not?, December 28, 2013
by Simon Deimel (Germany)

Generally including graphic elements is not a bad thing. The player is enabled to visualize the locations, which can be of advantage. But such elements should be used with care. I am not sure about the common conventions, but using material of external sources is not really creative in my opinion. Displaying a (principally copyrighted) picture of an alien taken from a Predator movie is a different thing than describing an alien inspired by those movies. A game should be new, original, and not put together by parts that already exist in other places (and were somebody else's creation).
The game in the current version contains severe bugs and is subsequently unplayable. A weapon is there, taking it results in a description how it feels holding it, but it is not moved to the inventory, so cannot be used in the next room. There is another room that cannot be entered: an error message appears. So in the end the game obviously cannot be finished.

Kudos!, December 28, 2013*
by Simon Deimel (Germany)

For a speedIF entry this is an extremely well organized game with well crafted details and a hilariously unpleasant NPF (non-player fish). The atmospheric messages are funny and give a personality to the fish. The game can be solved within a few moves, but the enjoyment of it emerges from realizing the little details found in the room and exploring the life and motives of the acting person.
