LD19 — Discovery

Attack of the time travelling pygmy from outer paleolithic (aka Time Pygmy) by deepnight 2010-12-20T03:23:00

Amazing!

LD22 — Alone

Loot Alone by karnakgames 2011-12-19T06:33:00

Thanks! It can actually be called a "short game" because it requires you to do something. :D

Loot Alone by karnakgames 2011-12-19T23:40:00

Thanks! Actually you can't choose. To be honest, I planned to allow choices, but due to the lack of time, I ended up with the "bad" choice only :)

Loot Alone by karnakgames 2011-12-20T21:34:00

Thanks guys. I worked shortly on the game, with some rush and laziness.

Goldendice: actually there are bugs, it's impossible to do something polished in 8 hours (the time I worked on this game).

By the way I'm not learning, I've worked on more than 22 games to date :) It just hapenned to be my first LD, but not my 1st game at all.

Loot Alone by karnakgames 2012-01-03T21:55:00

Thanks everyone! Mostly of the issues are because I worked only 8 hours instead of the available 48 hours :(

Here is my post mortem: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2012/01/03/loot-alone-post-mortem/

Loot Alone by karnakgames 2012-01-03T21:59:00

@kato9 the key is in one of the boxes :)

Loot Alone by karnakgames 2012-01-04T01:04:00

Yep, no ears :) Made to fit the rounded-squared style of the other characters' heads.

Always Alone by Jake Birkett 2011-12-19T04:43:00

I loved it. It pretty much describes how we feel about life sometimes (or most of the times?)

The Last Metalface MK2 by Jeremy Stark 2012-01-04T18:02:00

404. :(

LD23 — Tiny World

My Kid Dropped The Planet by MadGnomeGamer 2012-04-26T01:10:00

Loved the concept and the graphics (the simpler the better :).

Tiny Droplet by Digitalduck 2012-04-22T21:41:00

I love these typical platformers: grab the coin, go to the exit, jump :D
My only concern is that the movement is too sensitive.

World Saver! by Zythiku 2012-04-26T01:17:00

When the enemies first approached me I almost fell off the chair, got scaried lol :) A little confusing on the beginning, but then starts to develop.

Tinysasters by Volute 2012-04-23T22:09:00

Theme and graphics: 5/5!

Soul Searchin' by MaximSchoemaker 2012-04-23T14:25:00

Amazing! This is the kind of game that came in mind when I first thought about "Tiny World"! Good work.

Tiny Island Adventure by AdventureIslands 2012-04-24T18:22:00

This kind of comment is almost irrelevant for your game already since everyone is saying this, but amazing graphics and polished game!

Also amazing what Stencyl can do. I think I may consider it for my next jam after what I played here (going with Unity/FlashPunk/etc still requires to focus too much on the programming and not on the game content).

Minilization - Dawn and Fall of Man by jarnik 2012-04-23T15:02:00

Limited, yet deep. My favorite compo game so far.

Rubiq's Garden by youdonotexist 2012-04-26T02:55:00

It has everything to turn into a great mobile game!

Invaders From Space by smvilar 2012-04-23T17:55:00

Thumbs up to the art style.

Angstrom by Daniel 2012-04-24T18:26:00

With a bit more of work, this game has an amazing potential. Keep working on it and release :D

The Tiny Gryphalope by bytegrove 2012-04-23T21:53:00

Amazing graphics and I liked the power switching idea, except that controls are a bit slow.

Little Biyubi by edbadiux 2012-04-26T01:46:00

That's what I call a TINY world! Also loved the retro/billboard look of it.

Little Poui by jami 2012-04-23T17:07:00

Love the ultra pixelated look :)

Tiny Basket World by stromchin 2012-04-23T21:56:00

What a concept! You created a sports game in a theme where everyone was dealing with micro management games :)

Note: Since this is a Compo entry, you have to provide the source code. http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/rules/

To What a Mountain? by cageinabird 2012-04-23T17:19:00

Hahahah YOU SHALL NOT PASS

Trash Sprite by CapnMorgan 2012-04-23T17:38:00

Only the Compo is solo; He submitted to the Jam.

love in the time of fishbowls by otaviogood 2012-04-24T18:28:00

I'm with LukeRissacher: a game about the Matrix, good work!

Tiny Worlds by Lidfrid 2012-04-24T18:23:00

So simple, yet so amazing!

Kumiho by Christina Antoinette Neofotistou 2012-04-29T16:15:00

Really liked the teleport addition to Shmup.

The Two of Us by ekunkeo 2012-04-27T23:24:00

Amazing art and controls, but I found it to be too hard ;(

Planet Life by Sos 2012-04-23T17:02:00

I was expecting another weird experience coming from SoS, and here it is! Another game in the best SoS style. Amazing!

Cruel space by Stalker_23b 2012-04-24T00:14:00

Gorgeous!

The Elves end the Shoemaker by Nora Shishi 2012-04-23T03:29:00

Tiny pleasant game, good work.

Ant, Bee, Cow, Pig and Spider BOSS by karnakgames 2012-04-23T14:41:00

@smvilar: see tip: 2) Rocks hurt wood.

@madflame991 oh I tried to make a smooth camera, but it is impossible to polish it completely in 10 hours (I worked only around 9-10h in the game).

@cmo7 thanks!

Ant, Bee, Cow, Pig and Spider BOSS by karnakgames 2012-04-23T15:24:00

Thanks everyone! As for weird, even my wife "WTF is this?". This is my second LD and the second time I make a senseless game :P

Ant, Bee, Cow, Pig and Spider BOSS by karnakgames 2012-04-23T16:38:00

FredericRP: see tip 7.

thristhart: thanks for describing your rating and the hnest review!

Ratking and Suese: :D

Ant, Bee, Cow, Pig and Spider BOSS by karnakgames 2012-04-23T18:44:00

R3ason: wow, thanks for the great feedback! It makes me feel a little better about the game (I was hating that I submitted it).

Ant, Bee, Cow, Pig and Spider BOSS by karnakgames 2012-04-24T17:40:00

@Gremlin, @Daniel: Thanks.

@otaviogood and @Lidfrid: please see the game description above.

Ant, Bee, Cow, Pig and Spider BOSS by karnakgames 2012-04-26T01:06:00

WOW thanks everyone for the feedback! As I said earlier (or didn't I?): I work daily with games, so I take Game Jams as an opportunity to do the opposite of my work. That means, I can't make anything serious, I have to make something weird/different/sarcastic/etc as opposite to "make a game with this or that rules to make players happy or to agree with a mechanic".

@strega @ilo @MadGnomeGamer I made all sounds using only my voice (except Jump/Powerup which is CFXR).

@AdventureIslands please see " If it runs, you can also run away " -> so run away from the pig and you will see the result :)

Tiny World by spilth 2012-04-26T02:58:00

Although I couldn't barely move, due to be struck in the blocks/stairs, even in the very beginning I had a good feeling of the old NES times, I don't know why? Maybe Lode Runner? If you happen to work on it more, I'd love to play.

Another Kind of World by daandruff 2012-04-27T23:29:00

Great graphics and innovation, it has a great cool "retro" atmosphere. But hard to throw bombs on the right place.

DINO-CAB by EricTheCoolDude 2012-04-25T02:42:00

That was a very nice and fun idea! My only complaint is that most of the times it is impossible to walk (I know it was the idea of the game that you are big and have to take care); there is too much sensitivity.

Anyway 4/5!

Cows and Stuff by wademcgillis 2012-04-23T19:03:00

Excellent and humorous audio; balanced controls and some good fun there, with a long level to explore.

PS: Add more in game screenshots to this page, so people will notice the game better. Putting only a menu screen won't attract many players.

Cows and Stuff by wademcgillis 2012-04-23T19:07:00

Forgot to add: my only concern are the ghosts. They are too fast.

Urth Defense by kylerhoades 2012-04-26T01:11:00

A great use of the theme! It reminds us that we all should protect our world; it may be seem huge, but it is tiny thinking that all resources are connected.

Head Trauma by drZool 2012-04-24T17:53:00

Weird experience, as well made me dizzy. But, I actually liked it for the innovation.

Little Knight's Tiny World by jim3wg 2012-04-23T16:59:00

Just a note: since it is a compo entry you need to provide a link with the source code.

Faelanx by arkeus 2012-04-23T21:45:00

Is this even a Compo entry? I mean, it is so polished and fluid. If someone gave me the direct link to the game I wouldn't even think it is a LD game!

Nice work, I don't have anything to complain about it!

These are your Friends by Farfin 2012-04-28T00:20:00

Or I suck too much or the controls are really really hard? I didn't manage to do anything other than try to grab stuff with the finger without picking anything. The concept is great, but unfortunately I couldn't control even trying 10+ rounds :(

Exposed by 01101101 2012-04-28T00:59:00

5/5? Totally. Original, beautiful, fun!

River Runner by omaha 2012-04-23T17:57:00

I see a successful iPhone game coming out from this game? You should port it :)

The Tiny World of Fiorella by strega 2012-04-26T01:13:00

Whoa! A little Legenda of Zelda / Bindings of Isaac here! Also I love forests/fairy/mushroom graphics. My only concern is that sometimes there are too enemies at once and they shoot in a crazy high rate.

An Imperative Journey by RichMakeGame 2012-04-23T03:30:00

Since it is in Unity, please provide a Web version, you will surely get dozens additional plays (including mine, Mac user).

All That Are Lost Will Be Found by R3ason 2012-04-24T04:15:00

Liked the ambience of it! Is the sound missing or was it my computer?

Rocket Boat by RHY3756547 2012-04-26T01:03:00

Amazing use of the theme! One of the games I most played on this LD :)

Tiny Civilization by Suese 2012-04-23T14:54:00

That was amazing!
