Updated as I play some:

Greeble: Having to press "z" makes me dread keyboard issues (I am on qwertz). Fell into a dead-end pit and quit.

Lossst: Uses ALT for a crucial move, ALT triggers my browser's menu. Got stuck. Quit.

Lost Beacons: Works nicely but the scrolling is jarring and confusing. Would have played more than 2 levels otherwise. Sound would help tremendously in keeping a track of what is happening.

The Lost Packets: My clicks often don't register? Gave up on the second level.

Lost in a Space Odyssey: Cute, fun and interesting. Had lots of fun!

A moment lost in time: Some confusion with cursor capture. Interesting but seems more like art than game. Confusing.

If you liked Lost In a Space Odyssey check out "Lovers in a dangerous spacetime"[1] which it seems to draw inspiration from (similar artstyle and mechanics). It's a really fun and well made co-op game.

I'm one of the creators of 'A moment lost in time.' Thanks for playing it and for the feedback. Are you on Linux by any chance? I've had some issues with the Pointer Lock API in Firefox on Linux.

They are demos, using experimental browser technology. Why does everyone on this website expect everything to work for them?

It's also a demo of the most glaring game issue: game doesn't work on non USA keyboard.

You are a hacker. Hack the controls to match your keyboard.
