LD23 — Tiny World

Bactarium by csanyk 2012-05-13T00:59:00

Oh hey, I'm the squares, not the circles...

Tiny World by Andrew 2012-04-23T06:06:00

Runs fine for me; using Windows 7 64-bit. Might need the XNA framework installed? I have it installed, along with the most recent version of .NET.

Tiny World by Andrew 2012-04-23T06:13:00

Also, my review:
* WOW CRAZY GRAPHICS WOAH
* Gameplay: Meh. I don't care for puzzle games and the hit detection seems a little bit squirrelly. Got to the last level though. It gets the job done.

A Pale Blue Dot by ronkmonster 2012-04-23T06:19:00

I like the recharge-in-the-sun mechanic. Sort of wish I could take the battle to the enemies and shoot up their homeworlds though.

A Pale Blue Dot by ronkmonster 2012-04-23T06:20:00

Might need XNA and the .NET runtime installed.

Tiny World Destruction by Kyle Franz 2012-04-23T06:23:00

OH GODS DEATH STAR

EYE LASERS

I approve of this game!

Leaving the Tiny Earth by TSJ666 2012-04-23T06:40:00

Ah, a fan of Minecraft and Terraria. :-)

A little tedious. And I'm somewhat disappointed that you can't fall out of the bottom of the world. But competently made and a cool goal.

Ashard's Path by godofrock2 2012-04-23T06:41:00

I get a 403 as well.

Farming Simulator by spacechase0 2012-04-23T06:44:00

Interesting, but could use a little more elaboration. You probably know this. :-)

Being able to fast-forward time would also be handy.

Nanotech by r.rivera 2012-04-23T06:51:00

Aww, you don't hold on to NanoCanisters between levels?

I don't like puzzle games, but I liked this. :-) Multiple ways to do a puzzle, interesting resources and options, and the constant wonder what would happen next. Only complaint is I found the text boxes a little too easy to click through.

Geo Praderia Maximus by Verrazano 2012-04-23T06:59:00

Om nom nom!

I love it. A little spastic, as you said, but still. Hilarious concept and graphics. I especially like how the player doesn't get bigger, everything else just gets smaller.

WTF World by Misfit 2012-04-23T07:02:00

Nice music, interesting controls!

Planet Jay by D33jay 2012-04-23T07:08:00

Probably not as bad as you think. Has solid basic elements: Go Get Stuff, followed by Use Stuff To Get Better Stuff. The rest is just details. :-)

Though at some point I somehow ended up with negative amounts of ingredients.

Freedom by Lucas Schenck 2012-04-23T07:13:00

Collision detection is a little wonky. Though I am enjoying the mental image of a giant yellow head grabbing onto a ledge with its lips.

Also, you are probably way better at platformers than I am, since I couldn't get past the second level. :-)

Save Your Planet! by SFX 2012-05-13T01:04:00

Psychic giant defending Earth with mind bullets! I love it. Be sort of nice if you kept score of how many enemies you'd destroyed.

The Invasion of Timmy by The_Observer 2012-04-24T07:43:00

Um, wow. I find the graphics just evocative enough to be somewhat disturbing. Good job! :-D

The gameplay is also rather interesting, and it ends on a twist! I approve.

Predicament by orangepascal 2012-04-23T20:38:00

Woah.

So... is getting taken away by [SPOILERS] the GOOD ending? Pretty sweet little game.

tr-3012 by heuermh 2012-05-10T08:23:00

Weird little synthesizer toy. Might have been nice to have something besides percussion.

terminus by zillix 2012-04-24T08:24:00

Not entirely sure what the heck is going on, or how this is supposed to help... but that won't stop me! I shall chop these trees as they have never been chopped before!

Cosmicro by Knighty 2012-05-10T08:33:00

Great music! Neat feel to it as well. I sort of made the opposite game. :-)

Through the Blue Sea by Sandcrawler 2012-05-10T08:37:00

Sweet little platformer. But oh gods, the sound hurts my ears.

Smashbot 2000 vs The Small Ones by Rutger Megahertz 2012-05-10T08:40:00

Bwahahaha, SMASHBOT SMASH!

Erm, I found it rather fun. I'd love to see a more featureful version.

$ales by Sanguine 2012-04-24T07:52:00

Interesting concept and a good implementation! I love the voices, and it's neat how different places react in different ways to supply and demand.

Tiny World Defense by egerlach 2012-05-13T00:55:00

Neat little arcade game! I like the upgrades system. Only got to 45 though.

NanoQuest by Mago 2012-05-10T08:27:00

A solid skeleton of a neat little top-down shooter. Power-ups, some sort of progression and so on, and it could be pretty cool.

The Tiny World of Fiorella by strega 2012-04-27T08:02:00

Real good for the limited time!

Only suggestion might be more varied weapons... I never had a reason to actually use the sword to fight anything. Maybe if it had a longer reach...

First Import by iximeow 2012-05-10T08:46:00

Buggy and flaky... but also a totally rad idea. I'd love a more complete version.

esCape by Lucas Tiridath 2012-05-10T08:54:00

Pretty cool, but alas, too hard for me. I'm bad at puzzle games. :-)

Asteroid Belt by Lattyware 2012-05-10T08:57:00

Cool little game! Great physics. Took me a little while to realize what was going on though; better instructions might help. But hey, rocket pants!

Ant Slayer by Kharza 2012-05-10T09:02:00

Pretty cool! I like the engine and lighting for some reason. The game itself is a little underdeveloped (weapon hit effects would have added a lot), but fighting giant doom ants was fun. (I wish you were an ant as well, taking on other ants in deadly mandible-to-mandible combat... am I weird?)

Tiny World Defense! by Ergo 2012-05-10T09:05:00

Interesting idea! Though fire speed and shot speed seem to be the only stats you need...

Science 101 - The Sewer Chronicles by mrainwater 2012-05-10T09:15:00

Difficult! Painful! Wonderful! Reminds me of Chem 2...

Tiny world helicopter rescue by jedilemons 2012-05-10T09:10:00

I won! :D

Nice classic styling and gameplay in general. Congrats on your first LD!

Defend My World by Awennor 2012-05-13T01:14:00

Awesome.

Controls are a little flaky though. Could use some music.

Tiny Zombyz by Ados200102 2012-05-13T01:18:00

Sort of bland. And there's no way I can micromanage all those guys at once; hiding in the corner and hoping for the best seems most effective. I was able to hide one guy almost off the screen and lost another entirely; I think he ended up behind the UI. Still, interesting idea.

TinyBot by murilo 2012-05-13T00:44:00

Short but pretty cool. Good backgrounds, nice music, and eye lasers!

Invasion of the Planet Snatchers! by icefox 2012-04-23T02:14:00

I have reliable reports that the Linux version also works on Mac if you have pygame installed.

Additionally, I made a screencast of me programming this game, which is worth watching if only for the sweet music I dug up:

It's a tab by brackcurly 2012-04-23T20:34:00

Holy cats that's tiny.

Surprisingly easy to start playing though, considering there's no directions and you're straining your eyes the whole time.

Great job! Utterly unexpected, new, bizarre and trippy, and all that with only 256 pixels!

Combat Cubes by bigbadwofl 2012-04-24T08:17:00

Crashed for me as well, on the start of the fourth level.

It's pretty good and indeed rather ambitious, as people have noted, but I sort of got annoyed at the lack of information... what do the red and blue potions do? How much do the stats actually matter?

Music and writing were cool though!

LD42 — Running out of space

Spatris by thebmxeur 2018-08-13T15:29:45Z

Awesome! The music is lovely but gets a little same-y and the delay between loops is weird. The rest of the game is really cool though.

Best time: 199 (I'm bad at tetris)

Lest mynyt vacation by Akaneiro 2018-08-13T15:38:11Z

The music seems to loop very oddly and interfere with itself on Firefox 61/ :-(
