If Spore had concentrated all of its effort on the first stage and not spread it out across creature, tribe, civilization and space, it would have been the classic it isn't. I don't remember where I...

I wonder, is there a name for this genre of top-down (mostly) ocean-based resource gathering games like this and Flow and the first stage of Spore? It seems like you could do something really...

I also do not want the unity player, and couldn't install it on Linux even if I did.

It's a fun little game, and I'm enjoying it. The only real problems I'm having are the glowing mushrooms and all the air bubbles. I can't tell the difference between a white egg and an air bubble, so...

Yeah, I got really confused: "Bring eggs to glowing collection points" and here's these highly luminous mushrooms that do nothing. "What is a collection point, why isn't there a helpful arrow pointing...

Woah, 1.5mil points. I love how the upgrades scale linearly so naturally and organically. The longer your tentacles, the more you can do, but the higher the risk of loss. <3

I liked it aswell. Feels like a good shmup, so I naturally wanted to whore out the upgrades :D Though it'd get boring without a timer, I don't know how you'd keep attention for people who want more...

Aside from the Unity criticisms (I have to say I wouldn't install it if I hadn't needed to already to fully evaluate Unity's capabilities a while back) I think some of the above comments are...

I don't want the "Unity Web Player" either. I'm not willing to play a game that requires installing an otherwise unneeded browser plug-in.

empath: Great feedback, thanks! I agree with many of these points. I think we made decent when it came to priorities, but as you mention we still have a lot of stuff we could massage further. The...

Doesn't seem to load in Safari 4, but I have never needed to download new plugins since upgrading. I had the Unity plugin with Safari 3, and I still have it with Firefox 3. The game plays fine in...

Things that would improve the game (just a couple of these might help) 1: Having some kind of flow around your jelly-fish so you don't just bounce the damn things away when you bump into them. You're...

Oh, of COURSE when I'm completely dismissive the designer shows up in the thread, lol. More constructive criticism, then: The game play of gathering eggs is just fundamentally not fun, and it takes too...

Hey guys! I was the lead on Blush. Couple quick comments: - Yes, the timer is kind of oppressive. We limit all of our games in this way because we can get away with less scope. People have wanted...

The game is absolutely gorgeous, and it's a lot of fun to swim around, but as Nomiconic says, the timer is no fun. I like games like this where you can collect things and use them to improve your...

I can't believe they spent that much time making the game look that good without realizing that the gameplay was garbage.

I liked it. I wish I could play for more than 4 minutes at a time, though.

Doesn't load for me in Firefox. It just stays on the "Loaded... 100%" screen for ever and ever. (Later, having played in IE:) Fun, I like the mechanic of having to swing your tentacles around to pick...

Blush. A squid flash game. Kind of like flow but less abstract/meditative, more shiny & fast paced.
