insane hahahha loved it :)

I love this idea! Innovative way to make a giant world fit on one screen.

sirival 2014-12-08 13:34

Wow that's so cool! The tiny pixels - and audio effects! Nice

yodamaster 2014-12-08 13:47

Very cute audio! You should include a magnifying glass so you can see the part you're in better. Love it!

I love the game but constantly focusing on a single pixel can be a bit tiring for my eyes (I'm still recovering from the compo weekend, so that could be why)

Other than that detail the game is great: music and sound effects are really cute, and the metroidvania-like mechanics work perfectly. Congrats! :D

I felt compelled to finish this. Even the precision-platform-hell before the lift activator. Unfortunately, I got stuck in a block and couldn't get out and couldn't face refreshing, and spending another twenty minutes trying to get the lift activator. Precision platforming with a single pixel is hard.

Otherwise, great game.

Hop Hopp BOING! Great game

Easily the most adorable pixel I've ever seen.

pjimmy 2014-12-08 18:31

cute game, well done

@GeeItSomeLaldy - Thanks for pointing out that you can get stuck in the landscape. It's a surprisingly large world so I didn't have time to QA the entire map.

This seems to come under 'bug that stops players completing the game', so I've added R to Respawn if you get stuck, but left the map as it is.

@everyone else: thanks for playing and commenting!

Very cool! My eyes hurt now!

What is this, game for ants? Just kidding :D Great game, i only had hard time findig the pixel i was controling :D

Outstanding game! I love how you used the theme to create a real meatroidvania on a single screen. The game is challenging, has a very good depth for a 48h made game, feels very polished, fun to play, and very funny audio. 5/5 everywhere :)!

This is really great, but it's so hard to control! Fantastic idea and great job fitting so much into such a small space.

victorljs 2014-12-09 15:45

Nice voices :D , fun game, Great Idea.

rono 2014-12-10 00:23

That was really cute! But damn, I lost track of where I was with such small graphics

This was really cool. I'm always a fan of saving dead pixels. No major complaints other than finding it hard to determine what was hazardous to me and what wasn't until it was a bit too late.

travischen 2014-12-10 01:23

LOVED IT!

ottersden 2014-12-10 02:34

The sound effects really humanize the pixel. That was a nice touch. I think the controls are a bit slippery, its hard to aim your jumps correctly. But it was fun to play! Thanks for the game, and well done!

tortoise 2014-12-10 02:35

Great work! Nice job getting a whole metroidvania on one screen! I love this.

It would be neat to have a bit more than just a Ukulele play the whole time though.
Generally it's kinda finicky to pick up dead pixels, other than that, GREAT entry!!!

ggraca 2014-12-10 02:36

Awesome game! You really followed the theme and you added fun and nice audio to it.

Check out this one ;)

My eyes hurt now, but it was worth it :D Very awesome, love that game.

elephly 2014-12-10 03:05

Wow this is cool, some great attention to detail put in! Nice job!

androniq 2014-12-10 14:10

I was so engrossed, I let my tea go cold. You can use that quote when you release it ;). I'd definitely buy this with more worlds/progression. Maybe make the movement a bit less 'slippery'.

legiion 2014-12-10 18:45

the details are amazing and the sound is fitting, the screen could be a bit bigger though

jupiter_hadley 2014-12-11 01:45

Really cute little pixel! I Included it in part 7 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/bpNoFf0QyBM

The voice was cute and I thought it added a lot of character to the player. The game felt kinda slow though as I kept getting stuck on random pixels in the level. This also made the game feel really long and I never finished it. Got the lava shield but quit before making it through the volcano.If it had half as many upgrade items and fewer pixels to collect before beating the game it would've helped.

The level felt like you went through the world with an eraser the make paths. It might have been better if you used a more clear approach to the levels instead of this rough 'cave' like level.

It didn't help that the checkpoint were so far away from each other. Also if you made the background and walls darker it would've been easier to find your pixel.

My eyes!
But I did eventually save the world :D Struggled to get the drill because the framrate varied between blisteringly fast and almost unplayable on a ~1minute cycle. That could be my laptop though...

Really cool Idea. The audio was quite hilarious.
