Ratings and reviews

Much better than ES-DE. Has basically everything I want in a launcher. Feature request: the ability to give the game a check mark in the menu to indicate I've completed the game. As well, the ability for me to rate the game X/5 stars and a 300 word snippet review of what I think of the game. Not looking to share it publicly or anything, just on my own device.

So I want to say that I really want to like this front end.I've been told how simple, minimal, and light weight it is, and it was true... mostly. I ran into trouble launching a few platforms, and after some research, I found I had to make a custom path to correctly launch, which i'm personally not too savvy in. So, if you're an advanced user, this could be decent, but for me, not so much. This app has a lot of potential, so I guess I'll keep it around.

My main launcher !! if there's anything I could add, it would be to allow the wallpapers to appear after a brief second, like at most 1 full second after hovering over a game. while scrolling through them, the wave background can be there as default. another cool feature would be allowing us to add an audio track or video that plays when hovering over a game for over a second. think of how the PSP did this in the xmb menu! maybe have the rest of the library vanish when a game is in focus.
