OP here. Let me know if you have any questions about my project.
I liked the games, actualy played longer then i intendet the #6 :=) The Gameplay Mixing Board was used for the ingame music in the last one. Is this a free musik then, or did you just asked the autor to use it?
Not sure if you're looking for critique, and giving critique has sometimes been discouraged on HN, but: It's pretty good for a week of work. Though there's a difference between being challenging and being annoying. Many of the level design elements could be classified as a "dick move." An example would be not making it clear the goal is to collect all the coins until after the player has bypassed some of them and rea…
I'll also take the opportunity to plug my HTML5 game collection:
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Spacebars have a lot of "throw" to engage. I prefer not using spacebar for twitchy movements.
Spacebars have the same amount of throw as any key on your keyboard. Additionally, the force required to press the spacebar is less than other keys because the keycap for the spacebar is heavier.

> In general the controls are too sluggish... other stuff He made this in a week. It's a demo of what you can do in a week. You're reviewing it like it was a serious game. > giving critique has sometimes been discouraged on HN Bad critiques are. Yours is not a bad critique, I just think you're critiquing the wrong thing.
I'm impressed by what I've seen on lessmilk up to now by the way. Not in terms of coding (all of these games are almost trivial to implement), but all the more by the thoughtful game design that went in of them. Literally all of the 9 games so far have been fun to play, if only for a few minutes. I think it's much harder to come up with a new game concept every week, no matter how simple it is, and executing on it, than it is to actually do the coding to implement it. So thumbs up for that!
I'm a hobby/hopefully someday profitable game developer who recently jumped on the "develop a short game in X days" bandwagon. My most recently made game was developed in 2 days [ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ektomarch.... ], and damn did it feel good to get something done that fast! My current plan is to make a bite-sized game comparable to this at least once a month (it'd be a little stressful…
What are you developing them with?

Do you have a video showing off your game? It looks good in the pictures but I'm curious as to how it looks in movement. What are you developing them with?
Unity is the best thing I've found for rapid game development. I also use Lua + Löve for a bunch of quick 2D games, but it doesn't run on iOS or Android like Unity does.
