LD38 — A Small World

A Bloody Small World by blinry 2017-05-19T19:07:07Z

Wow this game is really great and i enjoyed it a lot! The game feels very polished with the cute art style, sound effects and music complimenting each other really nicely. The game mechanics are pretty fun, I enjoyed the 'flow' mechanic and thought it was an interesting game element that sometimes worked against you and other times worked with you. The humor and dialogue was well done and a nice touch. I also thought the challenge progression was well done, as you get used to the mechanics and the map it would up to challenge. Really great job!

This game nails the horrors of social interaction. The mini game elements were an innovative and challenging way to make gameplay selections and I like them a lot. I appreciated the jarring art style and sound design and felt it really highlighted the terrifying and ugly side of awkward conversations. The dialogue was sharp and funny and really well done. I was horrified playing this game, which is why it's so great! Really awesome job!

Cathode Way by garethiw 2017-05-19T20:44:32Z

This is a really great game. It is really well put together and the underlying mechanic is really innovative. I would love to see this mechanic fleshed out even more and to continue the game in progressively challenging ways. I also really liked the contrast in art styles between the first person game and 2D game. Awesome Job!

Really lovely and fun game. Surprisingly complex and engaging gameplay from a simple concept. Controls seemed a little unresponsive but it wasn't a major problem. Nice job!

Grow Little Planet by jin47 2017-05-09T15:53:05Z

Cool Game. I Liked the rocket controls and graphics. I found the game relaxing but was hoping for some conflict or external pressure to make the game more engaging.

Stardust - A space adventure by shiitman 2017-05-19T18:08:24Z

I really enjoyed this, the art style and dialogue were really great. I like the point and click interactions and thought they were implemented well. It reminded my of many games I used to play in the past. You managed to get a lot done in the timeframe, which is awesome. It could be more challenging but I still found it satisfying figuring out the puzzles. Nice job!

Sim Sperm by nbilyk 2017-05-09T16:13:44Z

Really enjoyed this game. I found it very engaging and was racing right until the very end. Very satisfying to make it just in time. I thought the dificulty was perfect, It was challenging without being impossible. The controls were simple and well executed. The music was really nice and I felt it helped highlight the broader themes of life and birth etc. Great Job!

Cartography by Zorg 2017-05-19T20:58:41Z

Interesting game. Struggled initially with the map, found it nice and challenging and then started to work it out. Eerie, almost mystic kinda atmosphere which was both creepy and intriguing. Good job!

Planet Pickup by chipset 2017-05-19T17:17:52Z

Really fun game. I enjoyed the art style and music a lot. A little tricky to get the hang of the controls but became more engaging and challenging as i got the hang of it. Nice Job!

Flight of Claude by Lyxil 2017-05-19T17:56:01Z

Yeah, I focused on the drawings while Lyxil worked on the story and game development. The backgrounds were stock photos with filters on top and the drawings themselves were done in Adobe sketch on iPad. I handed over the assets as they were done. The last assets were only completed an hour or two before the deadline. It was close. :)

Carmina's World by Maximo Pech 2017-05-19T20:24:13Z

Really lovely little game. I was a little bit lost at the start but after getting into it I had a lot of fun. Maybe some more in-game guidance or dialogue would help there. Really loved the art style and thought it was extremely well done. Nice job!

Golf N' Grenades by Imphenzia 2018-04-24T00:23:34Z

Love the concept and enjoyed playing the game. I found it a little hard to setup the shots in the right direction but other than that it was great!

Rogue Princess by ladybenko 2018-04-23T23:42:56Z

Really nice, enjoyed playing. I loved the art style and color palette.

Agent Patissier by sndr 2018-04-23T23:56:15Z
