Love the graphics and a sweet, whimisical story. My problem with this is common to many text adventures ie I feel that I'm trying to be a mind-reader to find the correct commands to do what I want to do. It might help to have a full list of the commands next to the game in the browser window or maybe change it to hyperlink choice based? Cheers!
Ooh.. definitely tiny! Very cute! I got stuck at the top of the tree trunk with the snails... not sure if that was a bug or if I just couldn't figure out what to do?
Worked for me - maybe you need java?
Anyways, I found the controls to be a bit tricky to get to at first, but once I got the hang of it it was pretty fun. Some more feedback for the player (animations, sounds, etc) would be great. ^_^ Also, I found the feeling of the rain drops 'falling down' wasn't quite sold to me - could maybe fixed by having non-jumpable raindrops falling down faster...?? Also, I loved the camera work! Cheers!
Love squishing all the tiny people - would like some more sounds, like tiny screaming, the earth pounding as each footprint appears, giant belly laughs - maybe a 'fee fi fum' when you squash more than one person in a footprint? I could see a flocking + fleeing behaviour working well. I feel like I should get a splinter when I step on those houses ^_^ Also, +1 kudos to releasing source code for a jam game and for making a game that zips up to 0kb! 0kb people! Cheers!
Definitely an underrated gem of #LD23. Hope you'll keep working on this!
Lovely graphics, nice mechanic with the shrinking and flinging. The platforming did feel a little off - I really like what Scott Rogers has to say about making great feeling platformers: http://mrbossdesign.blogspot.com.au/2008/10/platformer-primer.html . Cheers!
Liked the concept and the puzzles were good - though sometimes there seems to be some luck involved in successfully solving the level? It was pretty difficult to see which character was selected - maybe it could be made more obvious and the background changed to make the characters "pop" more? Or maybe we could select the freddies directly? Also, just my personal preference, but I think I'd like the pace of gameplay a little slower, so I could plan my moves better ^_^ Cheers!
Source doesn't download.
Love to see this taken further!
Poor Pluto! ^_^
Nice concept, love how it looks. The controls are a bit tricky and it could just be me, but they felt a bit unresponsive. I'd ideally like them to feel a bit more fluid and (because I love my shinies) I'd like some effects when I collect atoms and when I collide with them. It's impressive that you came up with this AND and editor in the short time. Cheers!
Admittedly, I am a sucker for choice text-based games, but it would be nice if there was more internal 'logic' to the consequences of your choices. Also, the text was very blurry on fullscreen on my computer. I do really like the concept though - as someone mentioned, it reminded me very much of Sandbox of God.
Very impressive first-time entry! I couldn't get very far into the game, but it seems that you've got a great base for modularly adding content into a very fun game - Cheers!
Found the 'inversing' of the wasd and mouse controls very interesting.
Very nice, I would definitely keep working on it and release it! I'd like to see more of a visual difference between the seasons and maybe a health/damage metre? Loved the feel of the controls and the animations - good luck!
Very impressive for a first game! Loved how you could collect different body parts for different abilities. The 'sweet spot' for the platforming felt a little off - I found this page to be really helpful when designing platformers: http://mrbossdesign.blogspot.com.au/2008/10/platformer-primer.html .
Love roguelikes and the movement base was fun. I felt a little lost though, as I couldn't figure out a way to move to the next 'dungeon' floor or open my inventory (I'm one of those players that need instructions for everything ^_^). I do hope that you'll keep working on it as it has so much super potential! Cheers!
Won't open on 32 XP here :(
It's kind of like how Gamedev Story + Tower Defense + Space Colonies + Pie Charts would be! ^_^ It's quite fun to watch your little men conquering the planet, but I did find it a little too easy to get into an unwinnable state and maybe I missed a trick, but I didn't really understand how the resource gathering was happening. Overall, vey cute! Cheers!
Wow. Just lovely. Concept's great, mood is nicely done. I found it a little difficult to generate enough energy to keep going. I *am* a sucker for growing games, though.
I have to amend my previous comment with: No source? I believe this disqualifies you from the competition, which would be a pity, IMO.
I think that's fine? It's not specified on the rules page, but I don't think assets are included, it's usually just the scripting of the game - I think the spirit of the idea is so that we can all learn from each other. ^_^
Keep having problems trying to download it :(
Definitely, more of a toy than a game - but I dig the aesthetic and there's something hypnotizing about those sneakers. I wouldn't mind being able to stomp on some different things, as well as the houses ^_^ Cheers!
Sick AND Cute at the same time. ^_^
Looks lovely, great use of the Unity engine. I couldn't get the characters to really interact with anything, just to move from location to location. I also got a game over screen for some reason...? Would have been nice to have a replay button on the game over screen and an ingame place telling me the controls. Otherwise, seems very intriguing and I hope you all keep developing it. Cheere!
Conceptually, comes across as funny at first, then you end up feeling sad for those poor fishies. I do wish that fish dragging was a little faster and that there might be a visual way for people to see 'pairs' - like maybe a speech bubble when they call? Otherwise, strangely compelling - cheers!
Great concept - made me feel a little dizzy, lol. Would have been great for the recursion theme, too! ^_^
Crashed on load, I'm using XP32.
My bad, I didn't read the requirements correctly.
Definitely more of a toy than a game, but it looks to be a great basis for an interesting game. There's something very soothing about 'growing' items on the planet and it has a clean, fresh look to it. ^_^
Lovely idea, great visually. Difficulty was a bit harsh, but it was still a lot of fun. Nice use of Unity, too!
What a beautiful little world you have created. It was like moving through a dream.
Unfortunately, the audio didn't work for me (I'm on XP32), which is a shame as it sounds like I missed out! But, I loved what I experienced anyways - I can really see this growing to full-fledged game release!
This is the beginning of a promising game - I can see lots of things being added to it. Definitely has a bit of a "tilt to live" vibe about it.
My kind of game: beautiful, simple and refreshing - I hope you continue to work on it!
Love this! Fun concept, great puzzles! Well done.
That...was...awesome! Of course, I love word games, but still!
Love the concept and it was truly a tiny word. Didn't get to the end though, as the extreme pixel hunting was a little much for me - also the vocab was a little pendantic: you don't really need an 'open/close' if you have a 'use' Such a shame, as what I saw was very intriguing and had great atmosphere. Cheers!
Crashed on open - complained that a .dll was missing - I'm using XP32, if that makes a difference.
Very interesting... I can't say that I really understood what was going on in the story, but what I experienced made me want to know more. Loved the graphics and the movement of the character felt very smooth. Overall, quite intriguing and I'd love to see more. Cheers!
Doesn't want to work for me - just shows the title screen.
There doesn't appear to be a download?
Visually, very lovely. Had some trouble trying to trigger the pink buttons - maybe the colliders need to be bigger? Effects were nice, too.
Love the concept, but unfortunately I couldn't actually execute any commands, it just kept printing Hello World over and over again - also started to experience massive slowdown after having open for a couple minutes - it was apparently using up %50 of my CPU :( Too bad, as the game was fun just watching what would happen ^_^ . Maybe you could add some way for the player to know what everything on the screen is?
Really like this. For a TD game, it's oddly soothing and hypnotic. I'd love something to show me the progression of time through the day ie. how much time left before next day.
Lovely, really charming game. Love the aesthetics and the gameplay is great.
Couldn't get the bullets to fire back at the birdies, but otherwise loved this. Impressive entry.
Your wish is my command: MWAAHAHAHAHAHA!
Rabbits, I used the detonator framework: http://unity3d.com/support/resources/unity-extensions/explosion-framework , which is a little bit outdated now with Unity's new particle system, but I haven't fully gotten my head around shruiken yet. ^_^
Great concept, love the execution, too! I might like a pop-up telling me what each new element does - but maybe that would ruin the discovery? Great job, could really see this being further polished and commercially released! Cheers!
Well, that was both beautiful and disturbing.
Super cute! Found the controls pretty difficult and would have loved to see the burger actually shrink as it got smaller. Nice music - was it "The Goonies" inspired?
Wow! Love the whole sim-rpg concept. Could have kept playing this game for quite a long time ^_^ . Nice controls - wouldn't mind seeing this one expanded on. - Cheers!
Very surreal and I like the interpretation of the theme. I appreciate that it was made in Processing, too. ^_^ Cheers!
The "Source" folder is empty.
What I saw was nice - but I couldn't seem to do anything besides walk around, jump and swing my sword...?
Love the mechanic, a really interesting take on the theme. I do wish that the 'walkable' vs 'unwalkable' tiles were a little more clearly different and though you have a reset level button, I wish that the crates couldn't get into an 'unwinnnable' position. Still, I found it quite refreshing and I always love to see games made in Processing ^_^ Cheers!
Didn't even get any error messages - just won't load.
Very cute - and love having the tutorial in the music! As much as I love foreground and background styles, they do clash a bit ^_^ Definitely has an 'Adventure Time' vibe to it. Cheers!
Yikes, that was pretty brutal. Interesting way of examining the Holocaust.
Hmmm... just doesn't want to open for me. I'm on XP 32, if that makes a difference.
Very sweet, reminds me of of Sissy's Magical Ponycorn Adventure. Loved the hand drawn graphics - maybe next time you can try drawing some pictures to go along with the intro and the endings? Cheers!
Love this - and the song.....THE SONG, OMG, THE SONG! It's so sweet and cuddly and I will pet him and play with him and name him George.
Strangely compelling... couldn't figure out how I was gathering resources, but maybe that was just silly me!
Can't download, unfortunately :(
Quite beautiful.
Really dig this, can get into quite a zen state of mind waiting for the right momment. I also really liked how you'd get a little strip of colour during very streak of doing well. Thanks!
Very cute! I'll never look at "Help" the same way...
Very interesting and I love the art!
Very clever!
Great! Thank you :) !
Very cute! ^_^
Wow. Elegant mechanic and perfectly presented. Thank you!
Oh, wow, very clever! Thanks!
A beautiful meditation on the nature of war. Thank you.
Really liked this. Found myself entering into a bit of trance-like mode while playing this. Well done!
Cute!
Mondrian A-Mazing ;) !
Wow, what great mechanic. Thanks!
Wow this is really interesting - love the mechanic. Thank you!
Well, that was awesome. Really loved the control scheme.
Really enjoyed this. Could've happily spent a long time "painting' the universe. Thank you!
Ha ha ha- that was great! Really loved it - so many great little moments.
Woohoo, I'm a master eliminator! Wish I was this good at getting rid of distractions in my real life. ^_^
Clever take on the theme. Really liked the shader effects. Thank you!
Lovely graphics!
Love the way the citizens walk!
Very cute ^_^ .
Lovely. Really like the aesthetic style.
Nicely done!
Very existential. Love the title, too!
Very cute. ^_^
Very cool.
Nice work, especially impressed by what you achieved in so little time.
Really good use of theme. I wish I could do this in my real life.
Really interesting combat mechanics!
Love your art.
Love the name and the transitions between levels. Great stuff!
Fun stuff. Thanks!
Very good use of theme - first game that I've seen that takes more inspiration from the music movement of minimalism rather than the visual art movement.
Interesting. I like how with a perception shift, the graphics change. Thanks!
Lovely.
Nice, 'minimal' take on minecraft-likes. Thanks!
Lovely. Thanks!
Haha, nice mechanic!
Nice take on the theme. Thank you!
Very nice. Interesting take on theme, too.
Haha, that was fun. Thanks!
Nice take on the theme and gorgeous art.
Wow. That was great. Clever use of theme and I really liked the game's message. Thank you!
The character animation was adorable! And I never get tired of seeing a world spring into existence around me. It left me wanting more, which is always a good thing. ^_^ Thanks!
Hypnotic!
A charming take on an interesting idea.
Love this. Thank you.
I feel like this shoud be a facebook game. ;)
Great concept. Really loved how you had to lessen your emotional attatchment to items. Thanks!
What an original mechanic - good job!
Wow, this is amazing. Deceptive in its simplicity. I had to tear myself away! ^_^
Lovely music.
Really good marriage of mechanics and narrative. Thanks!
Download link please! :)
Hahaha! This is brillant!
Love the concept and the aesthetics fitted it beautifully. Thanks!
Nice mechanice!
It's so creepy when you're caught and your screams echo through the levels. Thanks!
File Factory wouldn't let me download this. Maybe try hosting somewhere else?
Very clever idea and well executed.
Hahaha, very good!
This is pretty awesome. ^_^
Hahaha, that was fun. Well done, thanks!
Hahaha, that was brillantbrillantbrillant. Pretty much every RPG ever. I especially liked that 'girl' was a weapon. ^_^
Haha, that was fun. Fail, fail, fail.
Very evocative.
Wow. Really loved this. Thanks!
Interesting take on the stripped back RPG!
Wow, beautiful. Defies definition. Thank you!
Wow, very impressive.
Beautiful.
You had me at BALLS! ...but seriously, good job, nice use of theme for minimal but super engaging game play. Thanks!
Love word games and this has a clever twist. I could easily see this as a commercial game on iOS. Cheers and thanks!
The click detection is actually working fine. You can't click on a circle that is underneath a "ripple". Sorry, I've updated the instructions to make that more explicit.
Re: the music, I wasn't aware of that - (the rules make it sound like it's kosher as long as you have legal right to use it, maybe that needs to be more explicit on the rules page...?) Anyways, I've switched it over to a jam entry.
That was really interesting! Thanks.
Love the graphics.
Very funny and original take on the theme! Thank you!
Fascinating. I'd love to see more experimental hybrids like this. Thank you!
Really clever abstraction of mechanics. Reminds me of many mmo mechanics. Thank you!
Nice mechanic!
Awesome music!
Love the visual style.
Gorgeous. Sometimes the biggest changes come from refusing to participate any longer. Thank you!
Really good take on paring a game mechanic down to its minimum. Thanks!
That is one adorable baby bird.
