What a great Idea!

But only 1 more Level and my eyes would explode :D

gemberkoekje 2012-04-23 11:58

Very innovative, even though I was confused for a minute there. I didn't rate the audio because I'm playing on a work machine without audio :)

keenblaze 2012-04-23 12:50

Really tiny world! Unexpectedly and nice!

cr0ybot 2012-04-23 12:51

That's really mindboggling that a game actually IN the favicon is possible. Did you look at this for inspiration? http://www.p01.org/releases/DEFENDER_of_the_favicon/

RadicalEd 2012-04-23 12:57

It's imposiible to control! :D But the idea is great, well done!

andrew-2 2012-04-23 13:01

Awesome idea,the character pixel was a little hard to see though.

ilo 2012-04-23 17:56

My eyes hurt, but it was totally worth it!

brackcurly 2012-04-23 18:11

@cr0ybot No, I didn't know that game before, it's cool though. Actually I came up with this idea after I failed to program a serious game :)

icefox 2012-04-23 20:34

Holy cats that's tiny.

Surprisingly easy to start playing though, considering there's no directions and you're straining your eyes the whole time.

Great job! Utterly unexpected, new, bizarre and trippy, and all that with only 256 pixels!

pierrec 2012-04-24 06:43

The perfect idea!

wyzfen 2012-04-24 11:19

wow. my eyes hurt. i love the frogger like room :)

bitbof 2012-04-24 11:48

Really really good idea!

johanp 2012-04-24 17:59

Pretty nice idea, but extremely hard to play. :) Very cool!

chaos_viper 2012-04-24 19:51

Very nice idea!!! :D.. I could not finish the game because it's so tiny that my eyes hurt. But congratulations for the idea ;)

yselftool 2012-04-27 17:41

Great idea! But my eyes...

kane 2012-04-28 10:28

Excellent game with the better idea of this LD ! I love it !
Maybe kinda hard sometime.

codexus 2012-04-28 12:08

Mmm, I think I just broke my eyes :) Good use of the theme!

madflame991 2012-04-28 19:51

Really unexpected

matthias_zarzecki 2012-04-30 21:36

Ahahaha this idea is brilliant.

datamosh 2012-05-01 16:28

My eeeeyes, haha. Unbeatable concept of Tiny World! This is the second time I play, first time I didn't realize anything happening on the tab. When I did, I just read the stuff, but didn't pay attention to the favicon. Luckily I read the comments. Perhaps you could change the background of the favicon to black! It would also make sense, since the browser remains black too ;) Cheers!

johnicholas 2012-05-05 14:30

Awesome work!

alex-k 2012-05-06 16:42

Very fun concept!
Hard to play as it's so small, but nice anyway!

keirua 2012-05-06 17:02

I think you win the prize for "the game concept is the closest to the theme". Too bad the player is hard to control :/

ratboy2713 2012-05-06 17:22

I love the idea, though it doesn't make for much of a game.

madball 2012-05-06 17:36

Haha, that was original. The controls were a bit hard because of the size.

kibertoad 2012-05-06 20:34

Now that was amazingly inventive :)

sestren 2012-05-06 21:09

Very creative and well-executed. Painful on the eyes, but at least the game is short and sweet.

incredible-ape 2012-05-06 21:56

Most original game yet! Very clever.

skullsoft 2012-05-07 04:10

WOW I was so not expecting that!! I had no idea it was even possible. I'm editing my favourites post.

drabiter 2012-05-07 05:00

5 stars on Innovation.

chambers 2012-05-07 07:01

Tiniest world I've seen so far! Great idea, very innovative and well executed!

jedi 2012-05-07 08:58

Really innovative however, "But you will realize soon that this isn't a place to stay and you have to escape from it before you turn crazy." The answer is yes-and-no. I realized it right away but still played the game to completion. Now I've turned crazy :/.

dr-pingu 2012-05-07 15:48

my eyes ! my eyeeeees !
really innovative.

Bravo !

skullsoft 2012-05-07 20:35

Wait, there's a way to escape? I thought you just got sucked in and trapped forever.

ratking 2012-05-07 22:38

W - O - W XD This IS tiny!

benw 2012-05-08 01:38

Probably the most unexpected entry so far.

chinchang 2012-05-09 07:51

innovative idea. The guy graphic was gud.

puzzlem00n 2012-05-10 20:49

HOW ON EARTH IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE MAN?!

endurion 2012-05-11 11:59

Awesome :)

Sound didn't work though.

thegreystudios 2012-05-11 15:56

Okay this is totaly awesome!! I love the idea, even if it was nearly impossible to play the game! :D Great idea!

chaoseed 2012-05-11 19:06

Controls?

hungyg 2012-05-11 19:51

This is an awesome idea!!! :D great job!

oye-beto 2012-05-12 05:56

Wow.. it definitely is original.
My eyes hurt because my screen is 1080p so pixels are very small :P

kylerhoades 2012-05-12 09:53

That is seriously cool! Love the idea. 5 points for Innovation.

However, it ran very slow for me in Chrome and that combined with how small it is made it quite frustrating to play. I didn't have the patience to cross the lava stream on the tiny boat. Awesome concept though - very clever.

jonathang 2012-05-12 16:51

Very innovative, shame it's not a very long (or replayable) game!

jacic 2012-05-12 18:37

Absolute Genius!

davidllanos22 2012-05-12 22:11

The most wtf game I've ever seen!haha amazing! Good job!

ranoka 2012-05-13 11:34

This entry is incredible, I hadn't thought of making a game in the tab icon! For a while I wondered if it was working/where the game was. My eyes are hurting now though, and I didn't have the patience to get across the moving lava part, I kept dying at the end. Amazing!

ad-edge 2012-05-13 13:29

Ha, unexpected! Didnt even know this was possible, nice one. I gave up in I think the 4th room though, was too tricky to get across the lava.

orangepascal 2012-05-13 20:57

ouch.. my eyes... awesome idea!

skullsoft 2012-05-14 02:08

Ha! I KNEW this game would get a medal!

csanyk 2012-05-14 02:33

Doesn't work particularly well in Chrome, due to the <title> text overflowing the width of a Chrome tab, and for some reason the favicon doesn't display in my Chrome browser. Played it in Firefox and loved it.

jezzamon 2012-05-14 05:54

Extremely painful graphically, but... wow

you are a genius.

2012-05-14 11:42

This is amazing. I really think this deserved to be ranked higher overall.

sonnybone 2012-05-16 05:07

Um. WHAT?

I wish I would've seen this during the compo. GENIUS!!!
