Looks good. Appreciate you not making this a standard blog. However I don't like websites that are organized by a few loose categories and then you are stuck paging through 10 screens to browse around. Yikes, and I just noticed there is no way to sort them inside the category. Is there possibly a way to improve this for power users? Maybe one giant alphabetical list for each category that we can quickly scroll down?

Beat Em Up (3) Featured ( 8 ) News (1) Other (10) Platformer (65) Shooter (14)  You didn't notice the pattern back in the forum thread?  |

Like I said in the other thread, sweet bossoms!
I would like to voice the question raised several times within this thread - how is the content submitted? Say, news, prospective games and such.

Great work, Kaizen.
I think, with his awesome "Promisingly Good Freeware Games In Development" that Kaizen's been doing a bang-up-job of finding some really great freeware all over the web. He seems to be taking this as his official online job, so I say just keep it up!
Shifting it all over onto a specific website makes it all that much nicer, and a bit more organised than a 30+page forum topic!
If you've got something in progress, just email him! It only takes a minute to do! (You could do with an email addy on there, though!)

update: added a "playable" tag to those games that feature at least a demo. thanks for the ideas. i was thinking about the "submit a game" topic. i hope this will be used properly and not in a form like this: hey add this or that game! wtf why havent you added this/my game? etc... so i created a little page with my email adress to contact me. lets see how it turns out...this is some kind of a test run. if you have any ideas or thoughts on this topic please mention them. |

One option; you could create a submit feature where users can fill in all the fields for a game then each game gets added to some sort of list for you to review prior to publishing.

I like the way the site is so visual. It really makes the games more appealing. A simple list wouldn't be nearly as effective.
If I were to offer one suggestion, I might say that I'm not quite sold on the typography, but I'm not very well equipped to offer specific advice on improving it.
This seems like a very useful site, and quite a service to the community. Cheers!

Oooh, this is going to be great! I agree with Sparky, the emphasis on visuals really draws you to the games. Plus, it's a nice layout. I'm-a gonna be watching this site. A suggestion, though. For, uh, The Future, when everything's going well with the site. I'd love to be able to get an account on the site with a Watch/Wish List - to remind me of what looks sweet, and (possibly) tell me when it's updated. Naturally, I don't get a damn thing abut web design, and for all I know this could be a huge ask. But it would be cool. Bravo on Pixel Prospector! Great name, too.  |

It really does look nicely done, clean professional look to it all. Only complaint is that footer. It just looks unfinished, huge empty white box with a little bit of text on the right side.
I'm also not sure about having to offer another person's game when you submit your own, but i understand why you added that requisite.
Oh, and "If you are a developer and you want to submit your own game you have also to submit another noteworthy game that you didn’t made" should be "If you are a developer and you want to submit your own game you also have to submit another noteworthy game that you didn’t make" but that's just being nit-picky.
Great work anyway, bookmarked.

thats true...therefore i just reduced the footer until i come up with some better usage for that thing. I'm also not sure about having to offer another person's game when you submit your own, but i understand why you added that requisite.
hm...well since i got plenty of submissions already from developers who only submit their own game for maybe advertising i have to come up with something like this. i dont want to be the messenger who says that this or that project is not good you know. i need some ideas here...and a submit-a-game page that provides a clear message. Oh, and "If you are a developer and you want to submit your own game you have also to submit another noteworthy game that you didn’t made" should be "If you are a developer and you want to submit your own game you also have to submit another noteworthy game that you didn’t make" but that's just being nit-picky.
good to know. just corrected it. Great work anyway, bookmarked.
thanks |

Thanks for this! At least half of these games are new to me. Looks like I'm going to be busy trying these for awhile :D

SPAAAAM.
Can't you get a captcha or something to at least reduce the spam coming in? Or is it not even worth it for how many submissions you're getting anyways?
