| Apr 24 21:49:00 | Astrosurf | The first game I've played this LD! Nice idea, good graphics and music. The basic mechanics all work very well. <br/> <br/>I found there was no advantage or reason to ever be zoomed in, so I held down the zoom out key the entire game. <br/> <br/>The black holes are an interesting solution to create level boundaries, but it seemed at first like they were there as a challenge, so I tried to get by them...then I fell off the edge of the universe. Whoops. <br/> <br/>Overall, a solid experience, but a little bit too easy - if you had less 'health' (people) it would take a little more strategy to get to the end point, and the vine mechanic would also be more useful. | |
| Apr 24 22:08:00 | 19m 00s | 9Lives | Very funny/weird/quirky little game - I enjoyed it! The graphics are absurdly small, but as you mentioned you can zoom in with the browser. The minigames themselves aren't too compelling but the overall experience was good. |
| Apr 24 22:14:00 | 6m 00s | NANOFAULT | Decent concept and pretty good environmental graphics but WAY too hard. I think this would actually be a decent game if it started off easy and gradually got harder as you played, but right now it's just ridiculous. |
| Apr 24 22:27:00 | 13m 00s | Pieces | Solid game, but frustrating - judging perspective from that angle can be challenging and waiting for the camera to rotate is painful. Unfortunately I had to give up because I just couldn't stop dying! |
| Apr 24 23:22:00 | 55m 00s | Biodome | Wow, very complete, solid game. Great music and artwork, and the switching players puzzle solving mechanic works very well. <br/> <br/>I'm not sure if this was a bug or if I got the end, but the last screen I saw had these two strange house icons and I couldn't do anything. <br/> <br/>Anyway, very good game, surprising amount of content for 3 days work! |
| Apr 24 23:35:00 | 13m 00s | LittlePlanetBigRocket | Very clever mechanic and an enjoyable game overall. I would've kept playing if there were more levels! |
| Apr 25 00:12:00 | 37m 00s | Tiny God | Honestly not a very fun game (just clicking randomly), but cool psychedelic graphics! |
| Apr 25 00:29:00 | 17m 00s | Nanonaut | Good work! A good start, but as you said without a goal it's hard to find motivation to keep playing. The combat is a bit too difficult, especially since the controls aren't super responsive. Still, lots of good stuff here, very promising. |
| Apr 25 00:33:00 | 4m 00s | Tiny Apocalypse | Insane seizure inducing screen flickering for me (On Mac / Firefox). Sorry, I couldn't play it for more than 10 seconds. |
| Apr 25 00:40:00 | 7m 00s | Poor Pluto's Revenge | Funny concept but way too easy, some random behavior on the part of the enemies would have gone a long way. Still, a good effort. |
| Apr 25 00:55:00 | 15m 00s | Mesene's tiny world | Decent game, the controls are a bit frustrating but I was still able to beat it. Could definitely use a bit more content. |
| Apr 25 01:01:00 | 6m 00s | Alien Archaeologist | Cool game! Gets a little repetitive but the main idea is solid. It was cool to see the planet growing. I had a decent amount of performance issues (stuttering) on a pretty fast computer though. |
| Apr 25 02:08:00 | 1h 07m | Accretion | Pretty solid and interesting mechanics. Could be more challenging though. |
| Apr 25 02:14:00 | 6m 00s | Amnesic prince | Solid effort. Nice graphics and smooth transition for switching planets. Puzzles could have been a little more challenging. I died when I touch the snake. Oh well! |
| Apr 25 02:19:00 | 5m 00s | Tiny Tiny Ants | You really need some instructions for this game. Looks interesting though. |
| Apr 25 02:33:00 | 14m 00s | Cruel space | Amazingly good. Somebody is making the most of Unity Pro's features :D Really fun, polished game. I wish it was a little harder, but overall really enjoyed it. |
| Apr 25 02:40:00 | 7m 00s | Download Incomplete | Really solid, well made game, but got a bit monotonous. With a little more variety this would be an excellent game. |
| Apr 25 16:04:00 | 13h 24m | Redeye | Not the prettiest game I've ever played, but it was actually pretty darn fun! I felt like the challenge was pretty well balanced, and destroying the buildings was great. |
| Apr 25 16:22:00 | 18m 00s | Cricket in a Bottle | Nice game, it had a very relaxing, peaceful feel to it. The mouse look was very jumpy for me but I was still able to play. It was fun to explore around - and I even met another grasshoppper! <br/> <br/>It seems like you used a lot of outside resources for this game - since it's a jam entry I suppose that's ok, but next LD I hope you'll try use more original work! |
| Apr 25 16:33:00 | 11m 00s | Tiny World Adventure | Pretty good entry - but for the main comp you should upload your source code. |
| Apr 25 16:43:00 | 10m 00s | Friends and Foes | Good concept, but a little frustrating. |
| Apr 25 20:46:00 | 4h 03m | Moon Base | Fantastic game, great art and sound and the tiny earth mechanic is killer - great use of the theme! <br/> <br/>It's a bit challenging to understand how to get predictable results, but the trial and error is in some ways part of the fun. <br/> <br/>Unfortunately, I couldn't beat the room with a ton of lava, but I still really enjoyed the game. Good work! |
| Apr 25 21:08:00 | 22m 00s | ANT SURF HERO: THE SURFENING | Probably the craziest interpretation of the theme I've seen so far. Very funny and very enjoyable. <br/> <br/>Thought it was strange that the ant wasn't in the second half of the game though since it was seemingly the core mechanic. From that point on it became a bit more of a generic platformer and without any real penalty for dying there wasn't much of a challenge. Still a very solid and enjoyable game though! |
| Apr 25 21:20:00 | 12m 00s | Hero of Rain | Great game, I liked the RPGish elements. I was sad that it ended when it did! |
| Apr 26 22:18:00 | 24h 58m | Killer the Ant | Pretty funny! Nice ending :) |
| Apr 28 19:43:00 | 45h 25m | Lilac.27 | This game is awesome! Really creative use of 2d/3d - no idea how you were able to make such a crazy idea playable AND actually fun. Charming art and music as well. Great work! |
| Apr 28 19:50:00 | 7m 00s | Tiny Crash Landing | Nice start but obviously needs a bit more work. Movement speed is way too slow! Pixel art looks good though! |
| Apr 28 19:53:00 | 3m 00s | Tiny World Big War | Impressive how much stuff is happening on screen at once! |
| Apr 28 20:13:00 | 20m 00s | The Two of Us | Really great visuals and animation, but I am especially impressed by your boss fight design - they might seem tough but they're actually incredibly fair and reward smart play. The last boss was kind of a let down after the first two were so good though (I beat him in like 10 seconds, not sure if I somehow cheated the system). Great work! |
| Apr 29 21:53:00 | 25h 40m | Gnome Purseuit | Great concept and nice graphics and music. My only complaint is that once you've figured out what you're supposed to do it's a bit too easy. |
| May 1 00:18:00 | 26h 25m | Cakewalk | Pretty decent game. Occasionally some wonky things would happen, like getting flung high in to the air or stuck on an enemy. Could have used more distinction between the foreground and background, not always easy to see what was going on. |
| May 1 00:22:00 | 4m 00s | Full Metal Planetoid | Pretty cool digging effect but lacking in the gameplay department. |
| May 1 00:40:00 | 18m 00s | Tiny Island Adventure | Pretty good entry but the one hit deaths are pretty brutal. This girl can't stand in two foot high water without dying? Very nice work otherwise! |
| May 12 23:24:00 | 286h 44m | Microscopia | First, thanks for your thoughtful comment on my game, much appreciated! <br/> <br/>This game was really interesting and very unique. I can't say I've played anything quite like it - it's almost like an interactive Where's Waldo. I enjoyed the feeling of the game and the music set a very nice mood, but eventually I got to a level where I just could not discern which speck was me and had to give up. It might be nice if there was some kind of hint system, sort of like a marco polo/hotter/colder thing - not quite sure how it would work. Anyway, still a very creative and enjoyable experience. |
| May 12 23:33:00 | 9m 00s | 2 Tiny Gods | This is a truly strange game. Doesn't seem like you can actually lose? |
| May 12 23:40:00 | 7m 00s | Beyond | I wanted to like this game more due to the cool visual style, but I kept falling into pits that I couldn't get out of which sort of killed the experience and my motivation to play. |
| May 12 23:47:00 | 7m 00s | Colossal Creature crushes Tiny Town | Solid premise and nice old school film look, but the gameplay is a bit too simple and it was quite easy. |
| May 13 00:01:00 | 14m 00s | Montezuma's Tomb | For better or worse this game has a real old school challenge. Love seeing the whole game world at once. Nice job. |
| May 13 00:07:00 | 6m 00s | Milunar | Solid premise but needs more complexity/variety. |
| May 13 00:15:00 | 8m 00s | ANtopia | Excellent visuals - great game! |
| May 13 00:25:00 | 10m 00s | Phobius | Pretty great game but the jumping can be frustrating at times. |
| May 13 17:11:00 | 16h 46m | Flight of the Ladybug | Fun little game - would've benefited from some element of randomness though. |
