Not Without my Zombie by BlackDogg 2011-08-24T10:08:00

Hi everyone and thank you for your answers ! It's my first time here and it's great to have such constructive comments.
snesgaard -> About the WASD/ARROWs etc, yeah I know I though about that but it was late, and I'm french, I have an azerty keyboard and I always get frustrated to see WASD only games because it don't work that easy for me so arrows was a natural first choice. And about the lighting, I'm an artist much more than a coder, everything is Flash and it's just a radial gradient made in Photoshop with different size and colors within the levels :)

LD23 — Tiny World

Le Petit by Pixelulsar 2012-04-27T21:07:00

WAY too hard for me, I sucks at plateformer :), but still a great entry with a very nice art style that fits well ! At first I was annoyed by the character sounds but it made me laugth in the end and it didn't bother me anymore. A great entry, but not really my kind of game/difficulty :)

Asylum by Orni 2012-04-27T21:27:00

Did I miss something or am I really the only one that can't play because I'm European and can't use WASD without changing languages stuff ?

Pow! Pow! Pow! by Cake&Code 2012-04-27T20:38:00

I'm not going to be really original with my comments, I like the art (but a bit more in the introduction, it seems different, I don't know if it's real or just me) but the controls made the game harder the it should be.

Dusty's Adventure by CuberToy 2012-04-23T20:52:00

Too short but I enjoyed it ! Good graphics and sounds. Glad I had the opportunity to try it before because I knew I had to crawl under the leaf, I think it might be hard to understand at first. I hope you'll make Dusty come back to us, he's cool !

MiniQuest by Tangent128 2012-04-29T21:21:00

Pretty hard to see it as a real game but I loved the levels and the concept that a complete world like in Zelda games could exist on one single screen. As GamingProject said, you should make a new version out of this !

Stuck In the DOM world by Krilivye 2012-04-23T20:43:00

Nothing happened after the text talking about lights, hope you'll fix it.

Tinysasters by Volute 2012-04-25T19:36:00

Great game even if I think there is too much resources, which are not linked or makes really sense. Maybe it would have been better with a bit of simplification. But there is still a great result on graphics, music, mood, etc. Congrats !

When Worlds Collide by AlwaysGeeky 2012-04-23T21:10:00

Fair to say that graphics works well but I had the feeling to see a technical demo. I played until the end but still don't know how to master my score, or to try different combos. In the end, destroying stuff still feels kind of good

Rotten World by boorik 2012-04-23T21:06:00

Hard is the word yes. Sometimes just a simple error makes you loose the level, but anyway I like the concept, I'd like to see it in a more advanced version.

World Gone Wrong by arhpositive 2012-05-01T12:24:00

Good concept, it gives a bit of fear, it's nice to get some emotions with such minimalistic games. To me, it works well !

Box by eShredder 2012-04-25T19:41:00

As some people here, a bit frustrating to go back at the very beginning when you lose but still a solid entry, with a great graphic style and mood !

gravity by Rémi 2012-04-23T21:20:00

Great little game. Basic graphics but they have a good style that makes your game stand out. The concept works well, it would be cool to see it with different game modes etc. A simple game but with a brilliant execution !

Cage by epicSpeedTurtle 2012-04-25T19:17:00

Pretty solid idea but I had to reads comments here to know what to do, I didn't understand how to eat. So I'll say, good graphics, music, idea, but a bit too short as a game. Good work anyway.

Lost Oxide by SidetrackGames 2012-04-27T20:30:00

I liked the art a lot, especially with the lighting that works well. Controls where cool, but I would have prefered to use the up key to jump even against the walls. My biggest problem with the game is that I didn't understand a thing about the story and the setting until I came back here and saw the text, and it's "sad" because it's a great idea. Cool entry anyway, I had a good time.

My Little Dungeon by thegreystudios 2012-04-24T20:05:00

I absolutely love the concept, the graphics are gorgeous. But I'm not a "manual reader" and didn't have the information I needed in game (did 3 games before knowing how to go down), and then I had a bug some levels down where the character was stuck and get killed without attacking. Maybe I'm dumb but it kept me out of a real interesting time. Anyway, there is some great work here, I just missed it a bit in my experience :)

Enter The Mechanism by Lotsa 2012-05-01T12:07:00

I agree on the fact that it don't fits really well in the theme but still a cool game to play, nice work !

Tiny Basket World by stromchin 2012-04-27T20:33:00

Too bad it don't seems to fit with the theme for me, but I really enjoyed the combination of a one click/button gameplay with a sport theme. I would LOVE to see it in some kind of full version with multiple sports, better graphics, etc !

100seconds'World by Angerus 2012-04-23T21:13:00

Same as above, I like the idea but it's a bit limited. But I know you would have made something bigger with more time. This actually works and it's great, and you have plenty of room to improve the concept !

Evolve by jerombd 2012-04-23T21:01:00

A simple idea but well executed. Awesome art, you are talented. As Pierrec said, it could easily become some kind of collectible game because you want to see everything, it keeps you replaying !

The Tiny Green World by Eamon 2012-04-27T20:24:00

For me the biggest problem is the pace, as the other guy said before me it's really slow. Then it was a bit hard to see any strategy or real choices/consequence mechanic. But I'm sure you learned a lot of things with the LD and I'll hope you improve the formula.

Little World Adventure by firstrowgames 2012-04-27T21:19:00

Cool art, and a cute character, but didn't really get the goals and the possibilities :s

Lost in space by Keirua 2012-04-23T20:47:00

The game itself is as said not challenging, maybe I'm dumb but I didn't understand the compass thing for the first minute, but then it seemed too easy. Maybe hints, or more fun mechanic to guide us would have been great. Great cutscene and humor :)

Tiny Journey by Evil Sandwich Studios 2012-04-27T20:10:00

Great game, with cool arts and awesome sound, good job !

Agorobophobia by BrothersT 2012-05-01T12:28:00

Maybe I could use a little bit of help, I didn't understand what to do... I like the art a lot anyway

Pico Planets by brianshaler 2012-04-27T20:42:00

Too bad it's that short because I had a good time, and the gravity mechanic became fun and satisfying on the last level. I saw someone asking about a kind of compass and I dig that, I also would like to see a better camera that would let me see a bit more of where I'm going in a smoother way. Can't wait to see a bigger better version of your game !

Circuit by moltanem2000 2012-04-24T21:55:00

Good game even if it was a bit raw. I agree over the save feature, it would have been a nice little feature.

Ok...Now this is akward! by Pierrec 2012-04-23T20:41:00

Excellent ! I really loved it, at first I was a bit afraid of not doing anything but the story just got me. The twist was great, good humor, not a "game" but I had some good time.
A bit of sound ambiance could have been good but it's to say something

Tiny World Corporation by Andrew Marsh 2012-05-01T12:17:00

Well yes it's a bit small and it could use a bit of instruction to know what to do. I'm not going to give any score because you said it's a failed one, but I'll give you my encouragement to continue it !

terminus by zillix 2012-04-29T13:30:00

I love experimentation in game, great entry !

Memento XII by deepnight 2012-04-24T22:07:00

One of the best game I've seen by now, great work, everything is at high level, well well done !

Corky by Gib 2012-04-23T21:38:00

I can't see any buttons, please fix it, I really dig the visual style and want to see more :)

Scape by intmain 2012-05-01T12:04:00

THAT kind of game that make me feel dumb ^^ But Seriously good work ! It's what I except from a LD entry, good concept, good graphics, great level of polish in a simple, highly accessible game. Congrats !

Little Knight's Tiny World by jim3wg 2012-04-23T20:57:00

I really like the graphic style, 2d/3d combo works great. The way you can lose attraction on a planet is a cool mechanic, made the game to me ! I would have liked to be able to see where it could happen though. Easy to pick up also, no long texts or so, it's a good point

Blue's World by matt9837 2012-04-27T20:18:00

Pretty nice game, I like the platformer/maze combo but the camera was a bit hard to follow. Gameplay was sometimes great, with bell balanced jump sometimes frustrating (when you have the roof stopping you from really controlling a jump for example). Definitely a nice entry to could lead to something great if improved !

Moon Base by morganquirk 2012-05-01T12:10:00

Usually I don't really like the sketched styled art but I don't why I liked it here. And the gravitational gameplay took me by surprise and it was nice ! It remains quite hard to me but nice work anyway

Sako by Xam 2012-05-01T12:14:00

A cool 90's vibe here ! Nice graphics and nice game in general. But yes, it's hard to see the link with a theme. I also feel that the control scheme is a little bit weird. You still managed to make a nice entry

Bottlecolonies by tcstyle 2012-04-28T19:29:00

Same as the others, some kind of square or rectangle to see where I'm about to build would be a major addition but still it's a cool game, nice gameplay and I really like the art and the way it's spread all around the game.

Imuno by beeglebug 2012-04-28T19:37:00

I had a bug on level 3 on the bottom left corner where cells wouldn't pass near the wall and just go back. Anyway, I like your game, the idea is pretty fun and graphics fits. A good start to a bigger scale game !

Tiny Toy by Meedoc 2012-04-23T21:36:00

Same as pierrec, I had some fun but I don't thing I understood anything. Reminds me of rock paper scissor with 4 stuff but with just colors it's confusing to get how each works with one other, maybe objects, elements whatever would have made it simple. It still gets you until the end !

Rocket Boat by RHY3756547 2012-05-01T12:30:00

Amazing ! Huge entry, well done !

Invasion Of The Trivials by RobProductions 2012-04-27T20:49:00

I love the concept, being the bug guy defending the small towns. Would be amazing to see this in a real setting, like a small country for example. I missed to see the bullets flying in front of me, at first it's hard to tell if it's a hit or a miss. Good entry with a unique style !

Tiny God by davidwparker 2012-04-28T19:18:00

It's a really awesome technical demo (pretty amazed by how it's smooth even with a lot of particles) but as it game it looks a bit short. But I had a fun clicking time anyway.

Link by Dax 2012-04-23T20:32:00

Really good game ! I loved the concept and had fun with it. Like Lythom said, text was a bit long and let you out of the game. Also sometimes it was difficult to pick the right color but anyway, there's something good here that I'd like to see on a bigger scale !

Tinyvilization by Lythom 2012-04-23T21:30:00

I love those king of games but I had some hard time here. The Gui is too much present, I'd like to see the cool background on it's own. Didn't really understand what I was doing but it was cool to experiment.

Tiny Archaeologist by toaster 2012-05-02T20:50:00

I liked the graphics, the way it's played (with the really vertical screen) and the fact the everything is constructed within a single level/screen. But I don't really like the ending, without any control over it and still feels a bit like "short timing, let's end the game quickly". Good work anyway

Tiny Civilization by Suese 2012-04-29T20:13:00

A little bit slow but WOW what a cool entry ! I would have loved to see this game on an island, so you have a defined space to live on and explore. Anyway, kudos to you !

Adventures in NoLand by ncannasse 2012-05-01T12:21:00

A really effective game ! Nice and quick to play, congrats :)

LD26 — Minimalism

Illuminion by Qaterknan 2013-05-05T13:56:00

I always like when light is used to make a gameplay, it's simple but smart. The graphics really gives a special mood. Nice use of the theme !

Unreached City by dx0ne 2013-05-05T13:46:00

Even if unfinished I liked it a lot. While listening to some Kavinsky it fits it's graphical world, it's really pretty and there is a really nice mood. Well done !

Obstacle Course by CappaGames 2013-05-05T14:18:00

Had too much trouble playing it on an azerty keyboard, but it was cool enough. Reminds me about Kuru Kuru Kururin on GBA which was amazing

(Follow the) Line by Chman 2013-05-05T14:02:00

One of the best game I saw yet. Simple on every aspect but great at the same time. Nice elegant graphics, engaging game play, well done !

VierEcken by YsenGrimm 2013-05-05T14:04:00

Really hard but the concept is really great. That could be turned into an amazing puzzle game.

The Voice Of Fire by SenorDiablo 2013-05-05T14:14:00

Interesting game, even if hard to play on azerty keyboards. Moving text panels are sometimes frustrating but I still like a lot to see a different game than the others. Well done !

Don't Fart by Galvesmash 2013-05-05T14:10:00

Ahahah, had fun with that ! Not easy at all but the fun theme makes you play again and again :)

Minimalist by Orangejuice724 2013-05-05T13:44:00

You definitely need to give at least an EXE, I don't even know how to play it.

1BtnBounce by Fnkee 2013-05-05T13:42:00

I loved the concept, well linked with the theme. Graphics were simple but well executed. But I might be stupid I haven't really understood how to play this the correct way :)

The Void by Frib 2013-05-05T13:34:00

Good game, loved that wireframe/shaded switch with googles. The keyboard schemes was not really easy to use though (even more using arrows) but still a cool entry !

Mini Maze by Mago 2013-05-05T13:51:00

Great game ! Minimalistic in a good way. I felt like in a dungeon crawler, espacially after level 1. The fact that you only see a bit around you is the good idea !

Doe by BlackDogg 2013-05-21T12:10:00

First of all, thanks a LOT to everyone of you. Been busy lately so I'm only back now, sorry about that. This LD was awesome and I'm really glad the mood of the game worked this was my main point. I definitely keep this story and this game in my head, I would love to see it more complete !
I played and commented some of your games, sorry I missed some time to play the others.

arrogant.gamer > No I'm sorry I don't have any, it might happen as soon as I have any game in a cool shape. I'm mainly focused of my everyday job and onto some music also but maybe in the future. Thanks for your interest anyway :)

m by cadin 2013-05-05T14:08:00

Cool game, not usually fond of memory game, but your kept me playing. I love the art style too, simple but really efficient

Zmore by mrspeaker 2013-05-05T13:54:00

Very nice game ! No real challenge but it doesn't matter to me. Playing inside of that big canvas and revealing the world is really satisfying and enjoyable, well done.

Trained Disaster by The Tophat Demon 2013-05-05T13:38:00

Lile intripoon said, true minimalistic exprience ! Sadly one of those game that only use a WASD scheme and is hard to play well on a AZERTY keyboard but still fun, congrats on finishing it
