Oct 8 17:33:40 Are you listening? ♥ 2 A powerful game — you nailed Mood and Audio, which both fit together so well. I love especially the whispers in the background, as if we were inside the protagonist's mind. One of the best games here.
Oct 11 00:04:29 54h 30m Escape from Wonderland ♥ 3 I'm not good at platformers, forgive me. Still, I made some progress after many tries. As others have mentioned, the graphics are very good. I like the depiction of Alice, especially. And Alice is perfectly suited for a "tiny creatures" theme. I also like the gain-an-ally feature. It's funny, I've been obsessively watching "Head Over Heels" by the Go-Go's; it seems you wrote the theme game for this song. Good job, everyone!
Oct 11 01:13:17 1h 08m Billions must bite ♥ 2 I like this game. It was fun squashing the mosquitoes, and it seems I got better at it over time. The graphics in this game are top-notch. Also, you nailed the theme with the game-play — very creative. A solid entry.
Oct 11 16:36:32 15h 23m Impish Descent ♥ 1 Beat it! This is a *fun* game. You give the player interesting choices to make — the essence of a good game. It took me a few tries to finally win, and it was a lot of fun trying out different strategies and different combinations of imps and relics. At first, I wasn't sure what the tiny blue explosions signified, then I realized they were disappearing imps. I thought at first they were enemy fire. I guess that's one improvement you could make. Also, it would be good to have more variety and detail in the surroundings. These are just suggestions if you want to develop the game. Overall, a solid entry, and the most fun so far. I'm glad to see you've returned after your hiatus. Screenshot_2024-10-11-12-30-13_1920x1080.png
Oct 11 16:50:14 13m 42s TiNY's GardEEn ♥ 1 I love the colorful environment in this game, especially the groundwork — a combination of abstraction and realism. I wasn't able to release tiny's from the hunter-bushes, but did learn how to feed and protect some of the tiny's. The music is simple but catching, and it fits the mood of the game very well. A lot of potential in this entry.
Oct 11 17:09:30 19m 16s Re-Bot ♥ 1 A shocking ending — I can't help but laugh, given the cuteness of the robots. I guess they are going after the Froggin tribe, if I read between the lines correctly. Overall, a fun game. I like the retro graphics and the color schemes. The spaceship as a flying box in outer space is imaginative, as is the futuristic music — a nice touch. This is a solid entry and one of the better ones here.
Oct 11 18:33:04 1h 23m Ephyra ♥ 2 An interesting exercise in manual dexterity, path-finding and energy management. The music is upbeat and fits the graphics well. I had a lot of trouble with the third level — the algae gave me a hard time. Perhaps a more gradual increase in difficulty level would be an improvement. Regardless, it's a very unusual game, and you get a high score for Innovation, among other things. Nice work.
Oct 11 18:46:02 12m 58s Flea Patrol ♥ 1 You definitely nailed the theme. I love the primitive graphics and the mechanics are simple but engaging. The music, though repetitive, fits the rest of the game very well. I feel bad for that poor dog! Controlling an army of fleas has never been so much fun! I should note that the game got stuck in a loop on this level: Screenshot_2024-10-11-14-42-39_1920x1080.png I'm using Firefox in Linux. Perhaps it is just low memory on my part. Anyway, very creative. Thank you kindly.
Oct 11 19:13:59 27m 57s Familiar Bones ♥ 1 The poor cat got stuck in the bottom of the bookcase (even when I pressed A/E, there was no escape). Other than that, there were no game-stopping bugs. I like the B+W aesthetic very much — the graphics are very impressive, and the sound-track is well chosen. Screenshot_2024-10-11-15-12-27_1920x1080.png I will give this another go to see if I can make more progress. Anyway, a beautiful game you've given us.
Oct 11 20:18:36 1h 04m Mioritza ♥ 1 Very creative, especially the images. The ending with the letter is a surprise twist, and a nice bit of poetry. The sound-track adds to the ambiance. A solid entry.
Oct 11 20:35:10 16m 34s Defenders of the Crystal Skull ♥ 2 The graphics in this game are very good, and I really like the color scheme. I was able to swarm the enemy with mages and archers early on in the game, and just kicked back for the final two minutes. A tower game with potential — it was fun placing different skeleton warriors and waiting for the outcome.
Oct 11 22:15:57 1h 40m Tiny Turf Tussle ♥ 2 A very addictive tower defense game — I played this for a couple of hours and intend to play more later. It's just challenging enough not to be frustrating. The most fun game yet.
Oct 11 22:44:10 28m 13s Whistleberry ♥ 1 A nice meditative game. It took me a little while to figure out what to do. After a couple of minutes however it became almost second nature. The sound effects are top-notch — they add a lot to the ambiance of the game. The images are very imaginative as well. This is one of the more creative entries here. Nice work.
Oct 11 22:49:46 5m 36s Endless dream ♥ 0 I too wish there was an English-language version of this game. Unfortunately I can't read Russian. The graphics are very impressive and the story looks intriguing in any case.
Oct 11 22:59:05 9m 19s Reverse Pacman ♥ 1 A very unusual game — I have never seen this before, and I’ve seen a lot of Pacman variations over the years. I suppose each dot is a tiny creature — an interesting twist on the theme. I just wish I had more control over Pacman himself. Even so, very imaginative.
Oct 11 23:48:23 49m 18s Bacterium Imperium ♥ 2 An innovative game. Once I got used to the controls and the unit types, it was a lot of fun. It seems the key is to “dig a hole” into the enemy swarms, as below. Screenshot_2024-10-11-19-43-04_1920x1080.png As others have said, a very impressive entry. Well done.
Oct 12 00:17:41 29m 18s Battle for the Pages ♥ 2 A lot of fun this game is. I like choosing creatures, learning their special abilities, and sitting back while the battle rages. The variety of creatures is very impressive. The sound and graphics are top-notch. Excellent job!
Oct 12 00:51:12 33m 31s A Fairy Collection ♥ 1 I like this game, especially the artwork — you certainly have talent in that respect. Also, it feels good to take a break from the high-stress/high-octane games that populate Ludum Dare. This was a relaxing way to spend some time with beautiful art.

Oct 12 01:04:23 13m 11s Nomnoms ♥ 1 We just need radar.
Oct 12 01:21:17 16m 54s Star-Bearers ♥ 1 An unusual game — very creative. I just wish I had a map, or the ability to zoom out. The sound effects are simple but they add a lot to the game. I also like the star-creatures — that too is imaginative. An uncanny game with a lot of potential.
Oct 12 01:34:12 12m 55s Mini Menaces ♥ 2 Beat it! I almost gave up on the second level — for some reason, that was the most difficult. After that it was relatively smooth sailing. Very unusual graphics and sound effects — I like it! Screenshot_2024-10-11-21-33-08_1920x1080.png
Oct 12 01:51:45 17m 33s (o o) ♥ 0 A fine use of ASCII and the DOM — your ingenuity knows no bounds. I love it!
Oct 12 02:16:03 24m 18s The Befitting Heights ♥ 2 I get it: tiny creatures we are, most of us anyway. Very true, and I like the way in which you brought the point home. I’ll add that the United States is no exception — the MIC rakes in the cash while the lower class struggles. It seems our plight only grows worse over time. Overall, a very good use of Twine. I like the way you compacted several millennia into a single story — an impressive feat of writing.
Oct 12 02:36:25 20m 22s Hooverfield ♥ 1 An amusing entry — seeing those tiny critters run in fear and panic is both comedic and tragic. I imagine this is what ants and other small creatures experience every day. If ants had a religion, Hoover would be Satan. There is definitely a movie in this, albeit a strange one.
Oct 12 14:57:15 12h 20m Inverspeculum ♥ 1 I like the magical shift key that brings the player to a mirror world. That puts the game into a league of its own. It was challenging but not too difficult, except for the fact that I have only one life. It would be great if I started with three hearts, and if I had the chance to heal along the way. That being said, this is a creative game with an unusual twist. A solid entry.
Oct 18 21:57:32 151h 00m Color Critters ♥ 1 It’s good to see folks are still programming for the TIC-80 and similar machines — minimalism and video games go hand-in-hand. I must admit, I usually don't care for puzzle games of this nature, but this one is more fun. The difficulty level is not too high, but the puzzles do require some thinking and planning. I like how the different creatures co-operate to solve the puzzles. In general, you have built an interesting game world. Nice work.
Oct 25 03:40:04 149h 42m Microdominion ♥ 1 An unusual game, and one I never would have considered for my own entry — I eschew science when I can. In any case, you certainly nailed the theme. It took me a while to figure out what was happening and what I needed to do. It seems that *Start With* and *Divide at Age* are key. Once I learned how to manipulate those factors, I had a series of winning streaks. I am not sure how the other factors work, though I experimented with some of them. In a way, it was relaxing to watch the tiny creatures battle it out. It is almost like a tower defense game in this respect, although there are some important differences. Overall, a unique entry that shows a lot of imagination.
Oct 26 02:27:11 22h 47m AUXILIARY ♥ 3 Glad I had a chance to play your game before the ratings end. I took a look at some of your previous games as well (like “Imminent”), I like your style. The art and music in this game are beautiful. Keep up the good work. Look forward to seeing your entry for LD57.
