LD38 — A Small World

Chroma by Megalink 2017-05-06T11:52:48Z

really nice game, a bit more on the difficult side. but i really love how smooth the controls are, how dark the game feels. i love the fact that, the bullets, are fast but slow enough for the player to dodge them with these smooth controls. though at the end of the game, when i died, it simply crashed. i did love the attack and bullets effects, they were neat.

also the dashing ability is very wonderful too, i think if the dashing was based on the WASD while shooting only on the mouse, it would have been neater. but thats just my opinion. well done nice game. it is.

Little House of Horrors by Archimagus 2017-05-05T03:08:40Z

it is quite a bit difficult. but i must extremely well done, the theme, feel atmosphere and music in it are just top notch. they're really good. i liked the game with its interactive elements, and RPG like patterns.

everything in the game just blender well witheach other very nicely. well done to your team :)

really interesting.

Starstruck Ducky by HuvaaKoodia 2017-05-05T03:12:58Z

the game is really nice, i liked the idea of branching, i did not manage to win, but it was rather enjoyable seeing all the kinds of different reactions. the game is interesting to says the least.

Super Epic Drama Adventure Quest Run Battle by Meta-link 2017-05-09T03:56:22Z

very nice game, simple, and straight forward. with a very cool spinoff of an endless runner, love it. it was pretty straight forward, and it took me, two or three times to under stand its a rock paper siccors but overall its a very nice experience. nicely done.

Going No Air by starspell 2017-05-15T15:35:01Z

hey there, really nice and creative idea. it took me quite a few seconds to realize what was going on, but, it still worked out just fine at the end, and i was able to learn it on my own, which is great design. good job at it. and that fish really does look mean hehe

not a fan of dolls myself, but the game was interesting. great work man.

Shapeshifter: The King of A Small World by Rixud 2017-05-06T03:51:42Z

nice game, {as you can see from my nick name here, i already have a thing for our main character :D } the main character was so cool :) only if he had some animations, it would have been great. the game is neat, i did how basic, and yet pretty orbs looked like. the movement was smooth, but sadly the animations did not show it. nice game, hope to see more of you.

Little Remains by nilead 2017-05-04T07:06:23Z

A very neat game, with a good concept. i must say, graphics are just spot on, with the sounds of the game. i did manage to complete the game. it was a nice and fun ride. i myself am trying to create a point and click adventure so, this was a really good research material for me. thanks a lot.

the only issue i had with the game is, that, the "collectibles" do not really stand out from the background elements, nor do the characters. making it hard to see them. besides that, atmosphere is spot on, story is neat. the game is great overall. really well done for you and your team.

Treekeeper - guard the last gate to heaven by Maksym 2017-05-04T14:42:43Z

i like the idea, and concept of the game, it is very similar to mine to say the least.

the theme of the game is nice, and the assets are neat and well chosen. the only issue is that, the character's collider is just too big, which causes his movement to become effy. which in turn makes his attack miss a lot of the times.

which in turn causes the player to feel that, the range is too small (just my personal opnion, but i really dislike it when the attack range is just too short, to give it a more realistic look).

also, the lack of "feedback" (there is nothing that tells me the player that, my hit did land on the enemy or not) it is definitely something that, would be neat to have. (this one, combined with the inaccuracy of the weapon that got caused by the big collider of player, they just add up to create a generally less fun expereince).

besides that, the game is really neat. and i would totally love to see of your games. i like the idea of hold the line you do provide here and the concept of being a grim reaper, the movement itself is smooth which is neat, and controls are extremely responsive which is great. overall good job, and very well done for your first LD :)

PlacidTeleCave by madsj 2017-05-15T16:07:24Z

very nice game, really hard too. despite the smooth controls, and its ease of movement, i must say, the game really is hard. i found the best play style to be simply "moving between 2 zones" and avoid enemies as best as i can. very nice job with it. the graphics were simple, and the game itself was just very cool, good job. simple clear and clean.

Color Go by AerohandKetian 2017-05-15T15:43:28Z

i must say, your game really is complex. maybe a tutorial would really help it. i never played Go myself, and always wanted to give it a try, this was a somewhat cool experience. very basic game, and very neat. good job at it. sure, it is not as challenging but it is different and nice. great work.

HexCity by MartensCedric 2017-05-07T15:37:41Z

woah, really complex game, had some trouble with at first, till i started slowly realizing what was happening.

nice game, with some more interesting terrain, perhaps, more variations, and visual queues on for the player, to notice things better, the art is very distinct, and you can tell what each building is, just through a quick look, which is really nice.

also, if you plan on a future build of it, a better intro level/tutorial would add a lot of simplicity to it. part of the challenge was figuring initials out.

was a somewhat complex puzzle, nicely done with it. great job :)

D4RK and the Small Worlds by abhimonk 2017-05-07T15:09:16Z

really nice game, i loved how simple the graphics were, and the humor in it, it is a really nice try. the movement was so smooth which worked great for the game. the hardest part about it, is probably the wall climibing, that thing is just really hard at least i did find it hard.also nice job with the save check points without them, i don't think i would have progressed at all in the game. great work. and, what a cute little earth we got over there :)

War by gilborn 2017-05-07T14:57:18Z

oh my god..... that was a very awkward game :D i acutally did not start noticing what i was flying upon until later in the game :D i must say, not sure if i should say, disgusting game, or very impressive :D but yeah, i felt like, the aim is kinda, off, it could need some work, but the game is nice overall.

War by gilborn 2017-05-07T14:57:18Z

not sure how a triple post happened, but yeah, sorry :D

Wake Up ! by GoZz 2017-05-06T04:43:26Z

woah man, really neat game. the mood is, the music, and the graphics, they all just blend well with each other, like really well. the only issue is the clumsy controls, but i must say, for 3 days, you already done more than enough honestly.

i must say, at the end, i nearly got stuck, but i won through hacking through the final gate :P, if you simply push the movement button long enough, then click the jump button, as i am "stuck"/colliding to the gate. the jump force will somehow be big enough to jump over the gate.

very neat game. great job man.

and o man this ending :) it was a spot on surprise. loving the game. would totally love to see a more complete version of it.{a full game, perhaps. with some story/lore or something}.

Lil Planet by BladeSides 2017-05-06T05:32:49Z

that is one hard game. but its a really nice game, the audio fits it, the graphics were cute. the movement is smooth, great game overall. (and like everyone else was saying, a restart button would be neat).

Supernova by Veralos 2017-05-09T03:52:10Z

very nice game, , the paralax affect was really neat, and i loved how smooth the controls are, plus, i loved how you handled rotation, it really is smooth. it took me few tries, before i understand that, i need to go to these planets, since i died twice or so, but afterwards, things got pretty straight forward. and i loved the mini map, it was pretty neat, great job man.

Gate Breaker by GrassWhopper 2017-04-29T05:23:43Z

thanks for trying out the game, and sharing your opinion. after giving it a small thought once more, you're correct. it can be very easy once you know how to get around and learn the password. glad it was at least enjoyable, even by a small amount.

i will definitely keep your suggestions in mind.

Gate Breaker by GrassWhopper 2017-05-06T03:26:14Z

thanks for your kind comments everyone, i guess i really should rise up the bar of difficulty in this one. and yes, there is actually no audio, i had to cut that out, so i can make it in time. and i guess with some rework on difficulty, and few extra levels, it can turn into a fun ride.

Gate Breaker by GrassWhopper 2017-05-07T15:29:01Z

thanks for your feed back guys, i guess i really should increase the difficulty of the game. i will be keeping these issues in mind, and hopefully learn from them for my next tries. thanks for your kind words and criticism guys.

Statera by Kristian David 2017-05-06T05:28:53Z

nice game, with great idea. the rhinos looked really neat, and oh my god, slimes are just massive/

they grow up so fast :D i did like the ligthening effects they were really neat. great job man.

SlapR by MewSoul 2017-05-04T07:13:25Z

really nice game, with a neat concept, and idea. but i must say, it was rather difficult (at least for me.) cute simple, and quick game. definitely not perfect, but really neat one. i did like it.

Kanjo by Kataware 2017-05-17T05:32:33Z

very pretty and neat game. totally love it, plus you included the source code, it was honestly, great research material for me. thanks a lot <3 and im quite glad to hear you're making this game a full fledged project. totally looking forward to the full more fledged out version.

the only weakish part in the game is probably the combat. it feels just off. can't put on finger on what feels off, but it does feel off.

but besides that , everything is totally spot on. great work man. love the game :)

Globe Trot by Richard Michael Smith 2017-05-05T03:26:57Z

really beautiful looking game, and really smooth controls over the ship, really like the game. nicely done. sometimes, it feels like, the camera moves too quickly, but other than that, everything is really neat. love the graphical effects, and the enemies everything just blends really well togather. really great job

The Deific's Guide to Creating, Exploiting, and Destroying Pocket Worlds by Smiling Cat Entertainment 2017-05-06T04:00:55Z

nice game, the music is nice, it fits the tone and theme really well. it is an interesting game, but it gets complicated really really quickly sadly. as i said interesting concept, would be a fun play from time to time, with some better sound effects, and better pacing. good work, and a nice creative idea :)

Destroy The Dome by SvartTand 2017-05-06T12:00:36Z

really neat game, i feel like the rocks are simply, the best thing in it, they get done very quickly, and they can deal a decent amount of damage.

the nuke looked really nice too. the only the thing game was missing was some neat chilled sound track behind it.

great job guys. very good game.

Classical Conditioning Cooperation - [CCC] by AwesomeAlliterationAlliance 2017-05-04T07:37:47Z

woah, the game gets really hard very quickly. very enjoyable, and everything simply fits with each other smoothly, and nicely. though, the controls can be a bit tricky which makes the game a bit harder, not sure if it was intentional or not, but i am simply not a fan of that. besides that point, the game is neat and really enjoyable.

good job with the game :)

Song of Fungus by DGSpitzer 2017-05-04T06:41:12Z

very great game, top notch sound quality, graphics, and very innovative game, honestly, im feeling quite jealous :D hopefully i'll reach that level of skill someday. but yeah, very good game man. i did love when the red mushroom arrives, it adds a really neat dynamic into the game. plus, everything simply looks Great ! may i ask about your thought process while planning to make the game? it was neat. love it

Planetary Infestation by IDidGame 2017-05-05T02:54:36Z

interesting space game, though i must say, either i misunderstood something, or it simply is just really hard.

i love how the projectiles move, though, i would haveliked for them to be more visible.

i guess movement in space, can be somewhat difficult to do,they feel a bit too slow.

the idea of cleaning infestation from the planet really is nice. and goes well with the theme, it can very well be expanded into a bigger more solid prettier game. so really nice concept :)

Meteorealm by Swanito 2017-05-04T09:47:56Z

i must say, very nice game, and well executed :) it totally does deliver your message brilliantly ! it fits well with the theme, the art style honestly, did not matter much in the case of your game, but it was neat nonetheless.

i actually did realize what was gona happen, the moment i added like 5 humans, but then, it was simply too late. tried creating and spamming as many trees and animals as possible but well.... we all know how it ends :D

even though i disagree with the message, but i really did love your game. it simply presented the issue in a golden form. very well done with this idea that you got. sure it does not max out all categories, but it definitely did max out the innovation, and i guess another parameter that does not exist, in this rating system which is "clarity/presentation". very nice man. looking forward for more of your games

True Selves: Aggro Agoro by Empish 2017-05-04T09:31:58Z

​it was an entertaining story nonetheless i liked the character sprites. they were neat. the concept of the story, writing and dialogue in the story were all neat. the sound track of it was not as fitting, and the transition between tracks not as smooth.

i love how the story actually blends into the theme of the jam. and lastly, i really love games that simply tackle with mental issues like that. it simply shows the beauty of games as a medium. even though it was a simple linear visual novel, i still do not mind it.

very good job.

R.U.D.I. by SpaceWizardJ 2017-05-15T16:02:43Z

very nice game, with cute art. and nice to see a game of Pico8 nice concept, clean and clear. not really sure how the enemies AI was acting, but it was good enough. it was not too smart, nor too stupid. a cool balance. good job at it.

Piggy Bank's Adventure by Comet From Outer Space 2019-04-30T10:00:37Z

really cute game :) the art style is really nice, controls are very solid and very responsive,i liked the mood and atmosphere of the game. i don't like this type of games much to be honest, but i definitely would like to see more games from you. great work, the game just meshes with itself very nicely.
