That is a really calm game with neatly drawn graphics.
Though I couldn't really catch the hidden sense of the game, I still liked the relaxing atmosphere. Great job!

tigerfinch 2016-12-12 06:42

I'm not sure how long I would keep playing a game like this, but I enjoyed it for a short period, really like the atmosphere. Love the art / music style too.

kurakurt 2016-12-12 21:22

Simple and beautiful, but we need more animations!

kddekadenz 2016-12-12 21:26

Thanks everbody for the feedback so far! Glad you seem to like the style :)
I agree @Kurakurt it would prob benefit from some animations to make the level more lively. Also @tigerfinch, yes I think this wouldn't work like this as a longer game. Good I made it short ^^

avalkyrie 2016-12-12 21:27

Nice music and compelling atmosphere. Kind of deep for a short game, I feel like I got to know the developer by playing this.

yamzho 2016-12-12 21:40

Lovely and poetic. Thank you!

tijmentio 2016-12-12 21:48

Very moody. I like that the last door went to the website. Cool pictures on there. Bye.

tuism 2016-12-12 21:57

Really pretty, really cool little narrative thingy, but there's just about no "game" here...

A really nice art piece.

terop 2016-12-12 22:04

sounds were nice and the graphics looks good. I looked especially what kind of 2d effects you managed to code in such short time and overall the game looks great.

yami-no-tenshi 2016-12-12 22:04

Atmosphere was great, a nice contemplative game.

Drawings were really cute, would have been perfect with a character walking instead. And that music... I was in a poem for a few minutes.

Well, it was for me more like a travel in your world than a "game" but it was peaceful and calmed my mind.

Thank you for this !!! :D

levin 2016-12-13 00:15

This game proves that Flash is not dead! I love the atmosphere and the graphics.

xclementx 2016-12-13 00:17

Wahou ! Atmosphere is really nice, love the audio. Well done mate !

potato-dog 2016-12-13 00:35

Cool music! And great feel to the game.

almightytuna 2016-12-13 01:20

Wonderful art and music. I feel as though there is some deeper meaning here that I am missing

columhiggins 2016-12-13 01:30

Really beautiful. Thanks for creating. I look forward to more from Tiny Worlds.

artsicle 2016-12-13 01:52

Cool room

sarkriss 2016-12-13 02:52

The art and the audio are really awesome, even though the game is not that fun. :)

Nice work !

cushycode 2016-12-13 05:12

Charming hand-drawing graphics and the brilliant main character. There is almost no gameplay, but the atmosphere of this little something is totally relaxing. I like all these tiny elements - the mushroom, plants, etc. However, sometimes it was hard to read the text above them, because the font is too thin and the player overlay labels time to time.

tkachov 2016-12-13 05:45

Nice one. Soft music, good graphics.
Yet I thought it would be a bit more interactive.

alexanderk 2016-12-13 06:56

Great water color graphics. I'm very like it! Brilliant relax game like Flower.

dminsky 2016-12-13 08:34

Interesting art style and story

madmarcel 2016-12-13 10:01

That is a lovely game, enjoyed that very much.

warmlemon 2016-12-13 14:24

like the atmosphere. chill and relax.

hores 2016-12-13 19:26

Amazing! I really liked the simple and limited controls against the pictures. Great entry!

albert-viader 2016-12-13 21:04

Good music and feelings!

ludipe 2016-12-13 21:21

Really liked the hand-drawn graphics and the overall presentation. Perhaps it'd be cool to put those items in different rooms that you can explore in any order; it's always nice to let players express themselves through gameplay, even if they can only choose the order in which they find things. Exploration and discovery are powerful feelings :-)

kddekadenz 2016-12-13 22:07

Thanks everybody for the wonderful comments. Some of them honestly made my eyes a bit wet ^^
@Ludipe Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I like your approach on things, may try this out with another project. Here I decided trough the theme to rather explore different versions of the same room :)

pepejson 2016-12-14 00:57

After hard day it is a kind of game I would play :) cool relaxing music, and amazing art.

versatilebox 2016-12-14 06:10

Neat game. Really relaxing.
I loved the music

60fingers 2016-12-14 07:11

Why didn't you use some of the cool photos from your Website as Art for thi game?

jk5000 2016-12-14 10:02

Very relaxing.

gamepopper 2016-12-14 14:50

I approve of your use of hand-drawn art, definitely makes it stand out from all the low-res pixel art entries (mine included). Very peaceful and easy to get through. Well done!

winipcfg 2016-12-14 14:52

Calm atmosphere

jupitron 2016-12-14 16:19

Great art and its cool to express yourself through a game though its not the kind of stuff that i enjoy most i really value your effort and work.

robert_steiner 2016-12-14 18:33

I don't know much about poetic stuff, but I liked both art and music ;)

gmdsgn 2016-12-14 19:05

That's something of my type ! Really nice design ! I love the style and overall feel

neontropics 2016-12-14 21:18

I loved the music, and I like the idea and the little texts a lot. Great mood piece! The character is a bit too slow for me, but the music was good enough that I didn't really care.

michalidis 2016-12-14 23:48

I can't believe how amazing the artstyle worked in this game :) You have inspired me a lot with this one :)

Speaking more about your game - the audio and mood of the game were far beyond average... I felt like in a head of somebody who might have some problems BUT there are always these small things in our lives that make us forget about everything and calm us down :)

Very nice one :) totally liked it :)

andyman404 2016-12-15 00:38

Sweet and relaxing experience! I like the hand-drawn aesthetics and the atmosphere created by the music/sounds.

tilemapping 2016-12-15 15:08

Right in the feels

pcmxms 2016-12-16 18:03

Beautiful game.

zettelkasten 2016-12-16 20:29

This game spreads a calm mood, it is really relaxing.
I'd love to see the story told evolve though

ijzm 2016-12-16 21:10

DAWWWWWWWWW this was cute. I love the graphics; it's amazing that you hand drew everything! It really gives the game a certain charm and really sets the mood. I found the movement a little on the slow side, but I enjoyed what I played nonetheless.

jramell 2016-12-16 22:12

I really liked the art style. It blended really well with the background music and sound effects. Also, good pacing. I feel it likes more interactivity, but it's a relaxing experience.

Your Post Mortem was pretty interesting! I might use its structure as a reference when writing my own. Keep it up! I hope to see you in more Ludum Dares :)

axoona 2016-12-17 16:23

the mood in this game is just lovely. And the music is extraordinary!
It's surely presents a new definition of "game". I might even say poetry, why not ;)

mementogames 2016-12-18 00:05

Very relaxing. Loved the art!
I wish more interaction though.

geti 2016-12-18 07:53

Lovely underspoken stuff.

lukeryn 2016-12-18 18:22

This was different and excellent! I would have enjoyed a bit more!

starlight-glimmer-is-best-poney 2016-12-22 14:13

It's funny that some people still don't consider games as pieces of art.

dssiege11 2016-12-25 14:40

Not much real gameplay but the art, music and mood is quite nice and I'm sure that's what it's mostly about so well done :)

flaterectomy 2016-12-26 23:59

Very pretty, both graphically and musically. More animation for the main character might've been nice. And collision on objects was absent.

There wasn't much gaming to do. This is more a slightly interactive art piece. A good one at that, but not really a game.

kidando 2016-12-28 13:29

I thought it was going to build up into a horror... but I was wrong. Played it to the end. Good job on submitting your entry. The art style is interesting but works nicely.

kualitygames 2016-12-29 13:01

Definitely great in terms of the theme and the mood, liked the audio a lot too! Unique entry, quite artsy.

samuelsousa 2016-12-30 16:59

I liked how relaxing this makes one feel. Lovely water colors.

automatonvx 2017-01-02 12:45

Nicely done art style, although was a little disappointed by the lack of animation, especially on the character movement. The choice of background music is nice too, but as i understood the rules it seems maybe you should opt out of the audio category if you are using a third party sound track, or at least make it more clear on the LD page that this is the case. Apologies if that sounds too nit-picky. Overall not really my thing due to the lack of gameplay, but appreciate the effort and attempt to do something more personal

kddekadenz 2017-01-02 22:26

@automatonvx Good point about the audio!
As far as I understand it, it's only for the compo were you can't use resources by other people.
I initially didn't want to opt out of the sound category rating, as I recorded and edited all sounds per se by myself. But I can totally see how the music of bbaTV is dominating the whole experience of the games sound (I credit him in the games titlescreen btw).
I think I'm gonna opt out of the sound category, as I feel like half of the audio experience can be attributed to bbaTV, who did not directly participate in the jam.
Thanks for the feedback!

jupiter_hadley 2017-01-10 18:30

Very nice graphics! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/xG2aiO_VsBw
