Thoughtful Feedback Thread

I will thoughtfully review, complement, and critique your submitted game on the condition that you have done so to another project. Please link it below with evidence of thoughtful and genuine feedback on another's game (You can just provide a link to the game you reviewed).

The idea of this thread is to incentivize higher quality feedback than "I enjoyed your game". Merely posting a link to your project will have it be ignored. Go give thoughtful feedback.

FYI I am on a windows device, so browser and windows builds are all I can run.; however, I'll crack out my Linux machine if you've given really, really excellent feedback.

What I'm seeing in your feedback is one-two sentences with minimal feedback; I'm looking for thoughtful feedback before I review your entry. Thoughtful feedback includes what you did and didn't like about the game and why. You might also suggest possible additions or directions the game could go. The idea of this thread is to get people to give actual feedback rather than just shop their entry around.

I don't need three examples (but it would be great if you decided to do more), so just find a game where you can do a more in-depth review and come back. I'd be happy to review your game!

I thought giving people what could you do is a little rude but if it's fine I'm going to start on it, because I have a lot of  stuff to say to the developers about the games I tried so far :

That's better. If you're looking for a feedback formula, this is what I tend to use:

The problem + why it's a problem (most important part) + what you might do to fix it

Also, try to do criticism sandwiches so that you always start and end on positive notes: 

complement + critique + complement

I appreciate your effort, expect a review soon!
