LD23 — Tiny World

The Small World of Professor Strange by Will Edwards 2012-05-03T14:19:00

Nice! Loved the artwork, and the "programmer at work" style :)

Tinysoft by wurstknifte 2012-05-01T08:53:00

Maybe a bit too ambitious, it's sad that you ran out of time!
The controls feel strange (movement is not very precise, and using enter after space is not intuitive).
I also had the sound continue playing after I quit the game.

WTF World by Misfit 2012-05-03T14:17:00

Interesting. I was expecting to be able to make enemies fall out of the game world though...
Nice music also

Teeming by DaveDobson 2012-05-01T12:32:00

Interesting game.
Sometimes it can be hard to aim...

Little Sheep by Merkurius Team 2012-04-24T08:43:00

I forgot to put a readme file in the archive, thanks for the notice!
You have to launch littleSheep.jar to start the game

Little Sheep by Merkurius Team 2012-05-01T11:22:00

@Jezzamon Thanks for the bug report! You should not have to download anything to run the game, I'll try to look into it!

@BlackBulletIV Thanks also, I did not realize that! I'll correct it in the post-compo version soon

Little Sheep by Merkurius Team 2012-05-06T15:58:00

The updated version should run on linux and MacOS without special manipulation. Thanks for the bug reports!

Tiny Maze Speedrun by netmute 2012-04-24T10:54:00

Nice one, but there are not many possible paths in the labyrinth (from start to end there are not many times when you can choose a direction, and the wrong one is sometimes obvious)

Nano-Clash by Zathalos 2012-05-01T12:47:00

Nice game, I like the 3d models, and the double gun system!
It's sad that you didn't have more time, as it could have been very nice with some objectives/game modes/displayed hitpoints.
Difficulty is a bit high (even in medium, you quickly end up alone).

LHC by Datw 2012-05-06T16:54:00

Interesting take on the theme!

Fort in the Woods by pkdawson 2012-05-03T14:10:00

Simple but fun!
It's a bit too easy and the fights get a bit long once you have too many units, but otherwise it's nice.

Macro Marines by JonathanG 2012-05-11T14:37:00

Fun game!
The concept is really nice.

Tiny Timmy and Big Bill by OmarShehata 2012-05-01T18:46:00

Very fun, nice concept, and very well done!

When Worlds Collide by AlwaysGeeky 2012-05-13T19:28:00

Simple, yet fun game!
I had a little bit of lag with the vaporize power...

Polarity by nornagon 2012-05-01T07:41:00

Fun game!
The level infinite potential well is kinda hard though.

Invaders From Space by smvilar 2012-04-30T18:05:00

Nice game!
The fact that the camera doesn't rotate is a bit disturbing at first, but interesting!
Difficult at first, but gets very easy once you've finished to read the explanations and played a little.

Pollinate by garageworldgames 2012-04-24T09:11:00

I like the blue environment much more than the other two (fresher mechanics, and more agreeable controls).
Nice game!

Phi by Thomas Bowker 2012-05-07T12:09:00

Nice game, with a nice mood! I liked the exploration part, and trying to understand the rules, but the tiny world is too big! It takes too long to walk from one point of interest to the next one, and it's easy to get lost!

Spaceships: Origins by liger13 2012-05-01T18:38:00

Nice game! Interesting and fun to play!

Before The Big Bang by ragnister 2012-04-30T17:50:00

Interesting game to play and goes well with the theme, but some explanation of the rules would have been nice (I didn't know what I was doing until I checked the wikipedia article thanks to ragnister).
The AI seems average, but I liked the particle effects and the general flow of the game.

Only Your Home by Law 2012-05-01T18:58:00

Interesting, though it took me way too long to exit the first room...

The Last Rainbow by Vandash 2012-04-30T18:31:00

Nice game!
Just one thing: sometimes to ball orbits the planet for a long time without touching it, while you can't do anything...

Evolve by jerombd 2012-05-06T16:48:00

Very nice graphics, fun combinations, and nice ending!

Just Another Day At TWM Inc. by hi-scor.es 2012-05-01T08:09:00

Very nice game, I liked the concept a lot! Maybe a bit hard to balance (never managed to win) and a "fill" option would have been nice.
Seems to crash when an area is unreachable (surrounded by mountains)

Fracuum by TylerGlaiel 2012-05-07T10:50:00

Very fun concept!

"The best" CCG by cantorfew 2012-04-30T18:13:00

Played the web version.
Interesting, though the interface is a bit austere, so it's a little difficult to follow the game, and creating a deck a bit tedious.
I like that you can customize your deck and collect cards!

Pretentious Game by keybol 2012-05-01T16:10:00

Simple game, but I liked the story, music and puzzles!

Game With a Fantastic Title by batzerk 2012-05-06T17:48:00

Very nice game! Fun concept, and cute realization!

Kumiho by Christina Antoinette Neofotistou 2012-05-03T09:12:00

Very nice game! Loved the teleportation ability, even though sometimes I can't use it if I'm shooting (so circle appears, but I don't teleport when I press a direction until I release the fire key).
Sometimes a bit hard.
A also loved the boss! (and its last pattern was nice and fun!)

Catamari Meowacy by SethR 2012-05-06T17:40:00

Level 4 is a bit hard, but the ending is worth it!

T in Y World by Tom 7 2012-05-03T16:46:00

Loved this! It's also great to be able to share levels with everybody!

Tiny World: The Musical: The Game by pdyxs 2012-05-01T07:49:00

Very nice idea and realization!

We're going to need another Gnomy! by Ghoul159 2012-05-06T16:27:00

Some explanations in the game would be nice.
I liked the background.

Obsolescence by quickfingers 2012-05-06T18:41:00

Nice game, but I had problems while playing:
Mouse speed was very low, I could not turn more than 90° or so before resources were exhausted
Text display speed was irregular, sometimes I had to wait more than 10 seconds to see the end of a message.

$ales by Sanguine 2012-04-30T11:12:00

I liked the voice and the humor, nice game!

Particulate Planet by Jedi 2012-05-07T09:24:00

I played the post compo version.
Interesting art style, I had some problems to hit close targets, projectiles sometimes seemed to go through them...

Most of us live in a tiny world by jeffz 2012-05-01T12:18:00

Interesting take on the theme, I also liked the board game idea. Sad that you couldn't have more time to make it more of a game...

Subatomica by SFBTom 2012-04-30T15:37:00

Great game, fun to play!
I loved the concept and mechanics, and it fits the theme very well. Some explanations would have been nice (the electric field effect is not obvious for example).

HMS Imahara by SLiV 2012-05-06T18:20:00

Nice game! Really enjoyed playing a few times to get as many crew members to safety as possible!

Hopeless by DragonSix 2012-04-30T17:53:00

Same as Evil Cult here... (purple screen after I press enter)

Inside My Radio by TurboDindon 2012-05-02T09:05:00

Very good game! Very good idea and well done!
I liked the visual, gameplay and music a lot!
It was maybe a bit hard at times...

Curse Of Grimwood by sorceress 2012-04-30T18:22:00

Nice game!
Nice graphics and gameplay, though a bit repetitive.

A Flying Shame by spiral 2012-05-01T12:37:00

Simple, but nice game.

Save the World by Derek 2012-05-08T16:31:00

Nice concept!
The game is fun to play and interesting.

A Super Mario Summary by johanp 2012-05-01T11:17:00

Nice game!
Very impressed with the result (finitions and number of levels)

Life in jar by Simple Ghost 2012-05-03T08:53:00

Very nice game, fun to play, and good graphics/mood!

Tinyville Confidential by Rose 2012-05-06T16:51:00

Nice game mechanic! It's a bit difficult to see the colors at night however...

Dr. Biology's Educational Game by Draknek 2012-05-06T16:37:00

Interesting game. It took me some time to realize you can push a whole stack. The editor is a nice touch also!

It's a tab by brackcurly 2012-05-06T16:42:00

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

Celia by Finn Stokes 2012-05-07T13:04:00

Nice game, I liked the graphics and the mood.

The Underground Court by caranha 2012-05-08T16:37:00

I tried to play, but the game is very hard, due to the queen's starvation, and the difficulty to have precise movements. Maybe a roguelike movement system would have been easier to play?

The world of Marceline by Pitoum 2012-05-01T08:45:00

Very interesting entry.
I like the approach to tell the story. I'm not sure whether you can wake up though.

Tiny Cavern by mipi 2012-05-07T09:18:00

Very short game, but I liked the endings and the art style was fun!

Tiny World - A Giants Tale by DalsGames 2012-05-01T11:32:00

Fun game, but there are a few problems:
-Deplacement is sometimes difficult
-A bit hard to see when you're taking damage

I tried to avoid walking on people at the beginning to see if I could get another line from the king, but I never managed to avoid completely destroying houses/killing people...

LD27 — 10 Seconds

10 Seconds of Explosions by JonathanG 2013-09-16T18:51:00

The interface is a bit difficult to read, otherwise the game is fun!

WorkItUp by RawBits 2013-09-16T18:44:00

Fun game! It's a little boring to farm for time in the beginning, and moving the colored block can be a little error prone sometimes.
