[What Do We Do Now?]

Lovely short game. Seemingly simple in its composition, but very well designed. The opening puzzle is great: it plays with traditonal gaming convention (press the "start" button) and transforms it into the minigame in itself. The name of the game provides motivation and compensates for the lack of it's story and setting, while also making kinda ironic reamark on the very essense of any gaming experience. Sound fits perfectly and also gives an a little uncanny feeling. Overall great experience!

Thanks so much for playing and for leaving feedback. I'm glad you were able to appreciate how the title set the tone for the game... I've talked with a few people about how important that was in this instance. Since you enjoyed this, perhaps you'll be interested to know that I'm working on an greatly expanded version www.nowwhatdowedo.com (which has a new title, but keeps its purpose very much in tact while still pointing back to the original) Thanks again for playing!!!

[Encore]

New idea offers opportunities for interesting mechanics and surprising tactical depth for a tower defense game, also somewhat steep learning curve. I've found myself replaying first few levels numerous times just in order to get higher accuracy rating and score more improvement points - and it doesn't get boring as you try different combinations of satellite types to improve your survivability against different types of enemies. Also, great visual style and music! Overall: accomplished addictive game that makes you think as well, as it makes you aim.

[Break the Limits!]

Great idea, perfect execution. With a minimum artistic resources this game creates very powerful aesthetic effect. I think the idea - of a strategy game centered around managing personal thoughts and emotions deserves further elaboration in a bigger game. For what it is though, this game rightfully deserves praise and attention.

Congratulations to the author!
