Swan Song
That was actually pretty funny. I also wondered what it would be like for a party where each character had defined functions (not all of them able to damage). Now that I've seen it, I'm glad I never went with it.
Best part in the whole game was when you first enter the tower! That scream was freaking hilarious!
I don't feel the ending was at all rushed. It was the perfect balance for what the game already proved to be.

The Winter Knight
Well, I may as well add my own bit of congrats to the mix. It was short and sweet, a fairly easy casual game to get into. Great for when you don't want to sit down and play an epic 30 hour game, but still have an hour to kill.
Orpheus
Good game, very short, very surreal. I pretty much surmised what was going on after he left his room, and it seemed more naturally so after he ate the first apple. But still... poor guy can't seem to accept the truth.
1-900-Gary
That was pretty funny. I'm not sure what else to describe it as. Apparently toilet bowl cleanser does more than I previously thought.
A BLURRED LINE v2.1
You may have to try and re-install the RTP again. I've had that happen a few times when I used to use Vista, and it seemed I had to re-install the RTP multiple times.
A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky
I'll need to grab the new download later, when I have a chance. In any case, I took a break after getting through Avishun, and now playing again and on my way to Balfur City.
So far, so good. Dungeons are quite long, at times quite frustrating, and other times quite entertaining. I find they encourage me to take my time and explore, grinding in the process, and I usually will wipe out a segment of the dungeon, go back to town and restock, and then tackle the next segment.
Personally, I found the Path of the Gods to be both great and extremely frustrating (especially the last area with the holes). Navigating in the pitch black is gruelling, to say the least. At least in the last area you only have to tackle the dark only if you want all the treasures, and can avoid this by going through the thorns (spikes?) instead, although that means you miss most of the treasures around this area.
The old Avishun ruins was quite fun. My only concern is for tone-deaf people who may not be able to figure out the last puzzle.
I wound up dying the first time on the trio of dragons at Dragon's Nest, but then went back and purchased the Topaz rings, and had no trouble at all at that point. Up to this point, very little strategy was needed other than to spam Cleave and fire attacks, so this change in strategy was refreshing. Also, if anybody is still struggling, having Ivy's Wild Swing attack and then raising her Attack power really helps with those dragons.
Finally, have you considered a walkthrough guide for your game? Even the most well known commercial rpg's need walkthroughs more often than not, and would help for some of the more complicated puzzles.

Age of Fantasy
Agree with the above. I'm using Windows 7 and can't get the game to run. Tried compatibility for XP and 7, and nada.
Oh, well, there's plenty of other RM games that do work.

A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky
I really can't say either way. Like I said, I pushed through it, and now I'm invested enough to continue. However, having the switches and the doors together on that final puzzle (without being divided by the water) would probably make it less cumbersome. That way, if people open the wrong door, they don't have to go back a couple screens.
I guess it ultimately depends on how many (like me) have pushed through it enough, and how many have given up. Personally, it may not be a big enough deal to worry about for this game, and just something to take away from it as a "lesson learned" for future projects. But if you are getting a lot of complaints about it (not just from here, but from other sites as well) you may want to change it up.

A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky
Gotcha. I'll keep the materials until I can craft then.
Yes, I do believe it was the final puzzle that got to me. I think it was too much for the first dungeon, when it would have probably been better served for later dungeons. Everything else up to that point was actually fine, though, and I didn't mind the switch puzzle in the area prior, just that particular room it started to become exhausting.
It's something to keep in mind for future projects, especially since there's not much investment into the game and story at this point, so there's really nothing to help prevent people from quitting if they're bored or frustrated early on.

A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky
The very annoying first dungeon nearly caused me to give up in the vain hope that the game would improve. Sluggish, I lingered on, and so far I'm glad I did. I've played two hours non-stop, and now have entered the forest.
So my current thoughts on this so far (will wait on an actual review until I've finished the game):
Quite intriguing of a story, well written, and unique. The game has a sort of 8 bit / 16 bit charm, which would have probably been improved upon if you had used more retro style resources. The audio is quite good. I'm not sure if they're custom or borrowed, but the fact that I can't identify the tracks (so far) makes them stand out more. The story really drives the game more so than anything else.
The downside is the mapping could use a lot of work. It's not terrible, just rather plain. The upside is it's still easy to tell where to go, so it's not like there was zero thought put into it. The battles are a bit hack n' slash for the most part. Again, this isn't really a bad thing, just that the two boss fights so far didn't really have much strategy. But the big letdown is that first dungeon. Outside of it, it's a pretty good game.
My advice:
If you must make any changes, make the first dungeon less tedious. Assuming there's plenty of others like me who didn't enjoy the first dungeon for being so tedious, there could be that many people missing out on an otherwise great game, especially if they decided not to stick with it as long as I have.
Question:
What do I do with all those animal parts? I'm thinking they're supposed to be sold, but I wanted to check before doing that and finding out they're needed for some sort of crafting later on.
