LD38 — A Small World (43)

Inter-Tidal Snail Breeder Deluxe by uvwar 2017-05-16T13:27:43Z ♥ 2

It is really hard to survive, but I eventually got up to 6-7 snails! Really nice graphics, and cool idea. A shame it has no audio to complete the experience...

Rain Climber by Katana314 2017-05-16T12:09:17Z ♥ 0

Nice game! Loved it. I failed a bunch of jumps, but there was always another raindrop to get me. Cool graphics, nicely done!

Movement needs a bit more work, and it would have been nice if the smoke from the rockets didn't rotate with them. Other than that, what can I say? Online multiplayer? That's crazy! Congratulations!

Scene transitions are weird. Are they supposed to be the same characters, or different ones each scene? Am I one of them? I don't get it. Graphics are cool, and the game seems like an interesting idea. Keep it up!

Rocket Me Out Of Here! by Niten 2017-05-16T11:34:01Z ♥ 0

Pretty and fun game! Combat could use a bit more work, especially the attack animations have too much anticipation (protip: any anticipation is almost surely too much anticipation in games). Love the physics of destroying things, having the pieces fly away is surely a lot of fun!

vijver by Celine Veltman 2017-05-16T11:21:05Z ♥ 3

Quiet, relaxing, moody. It would be nice to have some kind of interaction, like moving the plants or making the fish go away, or grab their attention. Very beautiful, really. Good job!

Planetary Defense by N4tticus 2017-05-16T11:17:44Z ♥ 0

Somehow it feels like the enemies can approach the planet faster than I can aim and fire, but eventually won, so I don't know... Good variety of enemies, interesting and fun. Good job!

It's a small world... by jlauper 2017-05-16T09:15:05Z ♥ 1

Well, the name of the game says it all... Spot on with the theme ;)

Winter by cdrch 2017-05-16T09:12:34Z ♥ 0

Quite pretty, but god, the cameras and the character movement... Didn't find the second cable and the log, and eventually gave up. I couldn't even enter almost any house due to the damn controls! ^^u Good job anyways, keep going at it!

Tiny Planet Defender by Sintinium 2017-05-16T08:58:57Z ♥ 4

Nice concept, cool towers, overall fun game. In my opinion it is too slow, maybe try adding a fast forward button? Good job, nice entry.

Tower up by bog13 2017-05-16T08:42:32Z ♥ 1

Waaaaaay too hard. I don't like the area where you have to jump constantly from the blocks that fall and disappear. You only have one chance, and if you fail you have to restart. Good platforming physics, and from what I've seen, not too bad level design, just that falling platforms not respawning feels unfair. Good job, keep it up!

Smallish by Verter 2017-05-16T08:34:59Z ♥ 0

The intro gave me the shivers! Really nice choice with the music, sets the tone perfectly, and the game is a nice twist. I just wish the game explained a bit better what you are supposed to do / not do, but you get it sooner or later anyways. Good job!

Kid Monsters Smash Party by Moaid_T4 2017-05-16T08:08:57Z ♥ 2

I find the game to be too slow to be fun for my taste, but wow, the level of polish! When I saw the options menu, I couldn't believe it! Who has time in a jam for all that stuff? The physics of the buildings getting destroyed are fun, and the godzillas look cool. If only they moved a bit faster... Good entry, keep it up!

Arthropoda by Atmög 2017-05-16T08:00:27Z ♥ 0

Good base for a game, but I couldn't play it for too long as it got kind of buggy and wouldn't allow me to do anything in my turn. I noticed that sometimes I click on a cell and the ant doesn't walk up to it, but the cell next to it or something like that, like it doesn't add up the walk cost correctly and ends up without moves earlier than you were shown. As some others have said, some explanation of ant types and some stuff would be nice. But overall, good entry, keep it up!

Leafcutters by gimbalock 2017-05-16T07:28:25Z ♥ 2

Unfortunately the game loses a lot of incentive once you unlock everything it has. I would love to see it grow towards a more complete game, with more content, more ants, parts of the hive, and maybe a prestige cycle like most clickers have. You have a really solid base to get a good clicker game, contratulations! Good job!

Diminishing Lands by drazil100 2017-05-16T07:13:41Z ♥ 0

Cool game. Jump feels a bit floaty, but it fits the game mechanically. My only concern is that as there is progressively less terrain to jump onto, sometimes you can't get to the upper coins if you don't get them soon enough. Nicely done with the platforms appearing and disappearing, and the way you show where they're going to appear next. Good job!

Flatland by fabsy 2017-05-16T07:00:05Z ♥ 1

Nice twist on a classical game, upgrading the buildings gives this game a lot of depth. Consider releasing a post-jam version with winning conditions, a menu, and all that stuff that didn't make it in the jam, I'd love to play it again and again. Good job! Keep it up!

NomNom by MaikelOrtega 2017-05-15T13:58:58Z ♥ 1

Amazing game! I love this! Cool art, cool music and sound, cool puzzle mechanic... A bit buggy sometimes, if you try to do things too quickly, but great for a jam game! Congratulations, and good job!

tinyarena by rxi 2017-05-15T10:32:35Z ♥ 0

Fun and polished game! The gameplay is solid rock, the AI works great too, the art is so nice! I just wish there was some background music to set the tone, but really good job! Amazing entry, congratulations! Keep it up!

Castaway by 4BeardedBeards 2017-05-15T10:19:38Z ♥ 1

Love the simple art style, and the world elements are fun. Gameplay could be better, but I like how there are different messages at the end depending on your actions. Good job!

Naziverse by furazin 2017-05-15T10:10:20Z ♥ 0

I don't like that jump at all, but somehow the game is catchy. The pixel art is really nice, and overall nice entry. Good job, keep it up!

Escape From A Moon by ValerioSevilla 2017-05-15T09:55:38Z ♥ 2

Love the graphic style! It's so cute! The game is a bit too hard, especially since the spikes kill you from the sides too :( Really good job, keep it up!

Felipe's Lake by manelizzard 2017-05-15T09:45:37Z ♥ 0

I don't like tank-type controls, but the game is well-rounded and fun. Nothing too fancy, but solid overall, so good work!

Our Cramped Little World by ret44 2017-05-15T09:37:04Z ♥ 3

Cute little game. The graphic style is really nice! The controls weren't as smooth as they could be, and the game feels a bit simple: I didn't have to move any furniture in my first try. Maybe add some more furniture so that the player is forced to make some adjustments? Other than that, solid game, good job!

This Is Not Enough Planet! by madjackmcmad 2017-05-15T09:11:54Z ♥ 1

Awesome game! Keyboard controls were a bit strange, but the game is so damn fun it doesn't even matter! Love the world building mechanic, and the variety of enemies, and everything! Good job!

TimeWars by Chupachu 2017-05-15T08:26:54Z ♥ 1

Cool starting point for a game. I'd like the player to have more impact on the outcome, as it is right now the player is merely a camera and feels more like betting than actually playing. But I understand there's a lot of work here in AI, and it works great! Good job, keep it up!

Planetary Defense Force by TeamMonumental 2017-05-15T07:46:29Z ♥ 0

Cool twist on tower defense games! Made it to wave 3 but then I got crushed. Graphics are spot on, sound is good, game is damn fun... One thing I didn't quite like is the camera. I didn't even notice the boss until it was almost on the sun! Other than that, really good job! Looking forward to a post-jam version with better wave balancing. Keep it up!

TinyPlanets by tajamsoft 2017-05-15T07:30:28Z ♥ 1

I'll have to play this a lot more time as soon as I can, but what I've seen looks amazing for a jam game! I love strategy games, and this one looks interesting. Good job! Keep it up!

Trolling Dare by LucasGZP 2017-05-11T12:18:24Z ♥ 0

Serio de Prado Simulator! La bomba nenes xDD

Depth by CreamyBacon2 2017-05-11T07:29:49Z ♥ 1

Cool concept! There are too many enemies, though. I couldn't keep up with killing enemies and exploring, and sometimes I felt like I couldn't do anything because I couldn't get away from them and couldn't fire. The music is catchy as hell, and the art is fun. Good job overall! Keep it up!

Planetary Escape by w1n5t0n 2017-05-11T06:55:27Z ♥ 0

I like the idea of jumping from planet to planet, but at first I didn't get that you have to press space again to enter the orbit of a planet. I died in the tutorial because of that, and then there was no more tutorial. Luckily, I tried some buttons and soon learnt how to fire, and then killed myself. For a game so simple, it is damn fun. I wish it had some background music to set the mood, but well, good job overall! Keep it up!

Trienne's Trial by ltpats 2017-05-10T10:59:37Z ♥ 2

Cool game! The art looks fresh and nice, and the mechanics are interesting. My only complain is that quick movement and many life points take away from the almost puzzle game pace that your level design hints towards. Good entry, keep up the good work!

rocket ship by Zirrrus 2017-05-10T10:31:52Z ♥ 0

Nice little game, quite fun. The gravity physics feel a bit weird, but maybe that's just how the world works, I don't know. Almost put the rocket into orbit! Good job, really had some fun. Keep it up!

Globe Trot by Richard Michael Smith 2017-05-10T10:08:01Z ♥ 4

Nice and fun game! The biggest flaw for me is the camera. Not just the gimbal lock, but the general movement and positioning of the camera feels weird. Other than that, the gameplay is fun, the graphics and audio are more than correct, good job! Keep it up!

The Pendant World by Jerm 2017-05-10T06:58:52Z ♥ 1

Good idea with the theme use, but I didn't get the story at all. Movement felt strange, I think your collision masks are a bit larger than they should be. But nice entry! Keep it up!

Brawll by Bendev_Games 2017-05-04T14:16:26Z ♥ 1

Simple but fun! Could use some polish on the graphics and that kind of stuff, but the gameplay feels quite solid for a jam entry. Also, the AI works great. Good work!

Meteor Jam by PeachTreeOath 2017-05-04T14:02:33Z ♥ 3

Not a fan of crafting games, but this was nice. The platforming could be more solid, but it's enough for a jam game. Audio feels a bit repetitive, and graphics are ok. Overall, nice little game. Keep it up!

Planetary Defense by pixlark 2017-05-04T13:40:17Z ♥ 1

Nice little game. I don't like having to click the corner of the screen in order to place a turret. I think just right-clicking to pick up and left clicking to place would be fine, but having to click the corner then click to place seems a bit too complex, specially as you are constantly moving the camera just to keep watch of where enemies are coming from. But overall, good game, keep up the good work!

Little Space by KevTukk 2017-05-04T10:38:29Z ♥ 0

Wow, nice game! Love the music, sets you in the right mood, and gameplay feels just right. I didn't like the intercept system, and feel like there are too many asteroids keeping me away from my building and enjoying my station, but well, last minute things are always off balance, right? Good work, keep going!

For The Love Of Money by KunoNoOni 2017-05-04T10:12:35Z ♥ 1

Solid gameplay, indeed. Graphics could use a bit more work, but are nice overall. Personally, I think the jump feels floaty, and I don't like having to walk to keep up with the movement of the platform I'm on, but I understand those are personal choices. Good work, keep it up!

A lot of life in a small world by smdeveloper 2017-05-04T09:22:14Z ♥ 0

The concept seems interesting, but the game is lacking a lot. Visually, the animals could have some animation, and maybe reflect the amount of each species. Also, more buttons and more variables could add some depth to the gameplay. Keep it up!

GALAXEN by mrerdalural 2017-05-04T07:45:43Z ♥ 1

Interesting little game. I'm not sure I can say anything you didn't already know: most of the times you can't read the messages because they disappear too soon, the camera movement when you crash into other planets looks quite bad, but playing with the gravity and trying to orbit some planets is fun. Keep up the good work!

Command Ant Conquer by JuDelCo 2017-05-04T07:31:34Z ♥ 2

Lovely strategy game, specially fun for 4 players! Love the pixel ants :D
