The Tiny World of Fiorella by strega 2012-05-11T22:38:00

Nice one - great artwork. Impressive amount of game given the time. Like the dual-stick type controls. Boss fight was tough (ended up dying, not sure how close I was).

ANT SURF HERO: THE SURFENING by JigxorAndy 2012-05-11T22:27:00

Nice - epic boss fight :). Control seemed a little horizontally touchy maybe, and wish I had auto-fire. Enjoyed the graphics & audio and everything else though. And perfect thematic fit.

Kumiho by Christina Antoinette Neofotistou 2012-05-05T08:30:00

Yow - that's brutal. Gave up after 10 minutes or so of trying the last incarnation of the squid boss. Even killed it a few times but the bullets kept coming as it was blowing up, and sooner or later a teleport would just land me in another pile of bullets.

That aside, nice presentation, music, controls, etc., and the teleport mechanic is something I haven't seen before. Nice job.

Little City by dustmyte 2012-05-05T08:15:00

Made me laugh - another day at the dildo store. Liked the controls / UI, super responsive.

(Tiny) Worlds of Illusion by madmaw 2012-05-02T06:49:00

Cool - nice experiment. Liked the scintilla level, that was clever.

One Small Planet's Trouble by mastazavr 2012-05-02T06:34:00

Pretty challenging little platformer - fun though, made it to the end. Controls and collision detection are a little janky. Background graphics were nice.

Nobody by Yapikom 2012-05-02T06:23:00

That was pretty funny. Like the live narrative. And good penis physics.

Terraformer Breath by dansludumdare 2012-05-02T06:12:00

Cool! By far the most interesting HTML5 game I've played. Wished I could just hit A, D, etc. to fire abilities instead of toggling first then hitting Q. Definitely want to come back to this one and play some more though.

Core Buster by Maato 2012-05-02T03:02:00

The people on those planets are probably not too happy with me. Nonetheless I enjoyed destroying their homeworlds. Cool game! The style of destruction is really unique, don't think I've ever seen that before.

Pretentious Game by keybol 2012-05-02T02:26:00

Wow - really inspiring. Loved that. Great use of gameplay as a metaphor.

Wunderworld by ratking 2012-05-02T02:13:00

Awesome - this really inspires me to want to explore and experiment with a minecraft type engine. Guess I can tackle that after I try making a roguelike - and a Terarria game - and a platformer - and... :)

MakHappy by JosephGribbin 2012-05-02T01:53:00

Awesome, enjoyed that. Wish the window were resizable or pixels were doubled - also had a GameMaker watermark on it. But really liked the story / humor / puzzle element, the art style, the feel of the controls, etc.

I Heart Ludum Dare by Kayamon 2012-05-02T01:36:00

Nice, enjoyed that. I escaped my tiny world. Liked the artwork, very classic / 16 bit.

Petri by Tomalla 2012-04-29T11:09:00

Nicely done sir - enjoyed that. You had the same game idea I did :)

Worlds in Cards by summaky 2012-04-29T10:59:00

Enjoyed this one - got through all the levels - clever puzzler. I like the LCD graphics too.

The Green Planet by Munch 2012-04-29T10:49:00

I like the mechanic - playing chicken with asteroids - nice risk/reward thing going on there. Didn't get it at first, would be cool to list the controls somewhere (in-game or on this page). I assume it's just arrow keys unless there's something I missed on my keyboard hunt :). Liked the graphics too.

SpaceMission Part 2 by Muu? 2012-04-29T10:43:00

Cool - nice little rails shooter. I got killed pretty quick after it switched to platforming, that was a bummer - would be nice to have a few lives maybe, or restart at the beginning of a level. Also my X finger got tired :) Otherwise enjoyed it.

Demon Hunter by Rocknlol 2012-04-29T05:35:00

Cool - sort of a micro-roguelike. Bigger numbers / explanation of rules would have helped. Think I sort of got it though.

Tinysasters by Volute 2012-04-29T05:29:00

Nice! Really impressive for 48 hours, a fair bit of strategy there. Liked the graphics, music, etc. Would love to see it expanded with new missions.

A Drop of Water by canary40 2012-04-29T05:01:00

Not bad :) I like the look of the creatures. And the deserty theme. And the unsanitary sounds.

Tiny Apocalypse by CireNeikual 2012-04-29T04:49:00

Kinda cool - finally managed to beat it after 10 tries or so. I like the visual effeects.

GERMS! by ahm99 2012-04-29T04:37:00

Heh - battles don't last too long - funny premise though. Web version worked fine for me.

Tiny Tiny World by Manik Sinha 2012-04-29T04:31:00

Interesting - was fun for a little while. Always curious to see HTML5 stuff. Surprised there's no web version (when I hit the Web link it started downloading a zip file). Could have used some end / victory conditions and progression of enemies. Soundtrack was pretty good, made me laugh.

Link by Dax 2012-04-29T02:51:00

Enjoyed this one - nice job on it. Level 7 was really hard, almost gave up on it. But then prevailed. Controls were a little cumbersome sometimes (grabbing the wrong color, etc.) but not sure how else they would have been done. Good puzzler.

microrail by kirkjerk 2012-04-29T02:25:00

Nice one - I'm now king of the Microrail. Cool puzzle, simple elements and fun. I like how the small ones build up to the larger one.

Quantum Entanglement by icefallgames 2012-04-27T05:00:00

Got to level 9 - kinda wish there were fewer entanglement types to keep track of, they got overly confusing. But still, cool concept. Especially liked the color mixing / filtering. If you plan on expanding it, maybe spread out the introduction of new mechanics / entanglements a bit, teach them individually then build on them gradually.

Get Tiny! by DomNomNom 2012-04-27T04:37:00

Cool - enjoyed it. Played something similar before. Beat it in about 45 secs unfortunately so more levels would have been cool :)

Tiny Worlds by Lidfrid 2012-04-27T04:25:00

Awesome - one of my favorites. Simple but polished. Nice beatbox acapella soundtrack. And interesting gameplay mechanic - took me a lot of tries to get the particles (hard to exit orbit at the right time) but eventually got all but one (I think).

The Tourist by FunkyDelPueblo 2012-04-27T03:36:00

Interesting concept. Gameplay was pretty tedious though, at least my playthrough - I found a couple objects in the 1st minute - which gave me a little strength, then spent 4 minutes straight uncovering empty squares. Then I died. :)

An Imperative Journey by RichMakeGame 2012-04-27T02:53:00

Nice - didn't get it at first, but reread your instructions. Great graphics and modeling, and nice music tracks. Pretty impressive for 48 hours. I had some input-lag issues, would have been nice to have the option to turn vsync off (I've found that usually solves it for other 3D games).

Deity by Blake 2012-04-27T02:20:00

Nice concept - found myself waiting too long for the people to randomly walk together though, that got a little dull. Really solid UI & presentation.

Tiny Defense by Jim Haslett 2012-04-27T00:57:00

Congrats on finishing - fun for a simple game. Controls felt good. Sound effects would have been nice.

Tiny World Peace by jwolf 2012-04-27T00:51:00

Wish my player/planet moved faster - maybe an acceleration-based movement, or mouse control.

Endless Siege by flaxenflash 2012-04-27T00:46:00

Nice graphics and smooth framerate. Gameplay didn't have much going on though - would be nice to have more variety (probably a time constraint thing I imagine).

Space Bear by madflame991 2012-04-26T23:44:00

Cool - seems like an accurate scientific prediction of how the next 50 years are going to unfold. And nice to see something original come out of the now-cliche bear-head-in-space genre. We've played enough of those I think.

Skully's Microscopic World by Skully 2012-04-26T23:26:00

Liked the graphics & theme, and the way the bacilli grew (very organic looking). Gameplay could have used some more elements though. The creepy auto-voice was pretty funny (deadpan "sha,zam." :)

Mage Duel by Kitch 2012-04-26T23:17:00

Nice one - had fun playing. An AI opponent would have been added a bit more challenge and replay value I think. Gonna check out the source code when I get time, been wanting to play around with 2D XNA programming for a change (most of what I've done is 3D). I like the Terraria-esque small destructible tile approach.

When Worlds Collide by AlwaysGeeky 2012-04-26T23:04:00

Cool, really liked the voxely style. Makes me want to experiment with voxel engines and minecraft cubes. Had that debug assertion error on the regular version - I have a DX11-capable card so assume I have shaders :) But the no-shader version looked pretty cool too.

Spaceships: Origins by liger13 2012-04-26T22:53:00

Interesting - teleporters and the automap were a bit confusing. Also reading the red text of what I needed to do with the teleporter usually got me killed by distraction :). Cool idea though, haven't seen a rotational rail shooter.

subAtomic by MurrayL 2012-04-26T22:43:00

Nice one - haven't played an adventure game in years :) Humor was spot on.

Killer the Ant by Ben 2012-04-26T22:17:00

Heh - not bad for a first game, a pleasant playing experience. Foot violence made me laugh.

Our Tiny World by hamburger 2012-04-26T06:35:00

Cool - reminded me of "The Marriage" by Ron Carmel, that style of game. Curious to try something like that, to explore a subject metaporically through gameplay.

Fart Together by mess110 2012-04-26T06:26:00

Heh - gave me a laugh. There's a green cloud over the country of Djibouti thanks to me.

Tiny Galaxy by Robert Swan 2012-04-26T06:05:00

Wow, awesome game. I was baffled at first, stuck on my platform - didn't realize you could move it in that wider camera shot. But once I got that, I was mesmerized.

For a while. After I got the heat shield, the severe punishment involved in jumping down and explore something, only to find there was no way back up, was too much for my patience. Wish you'd just spawn back at your platform. After 4 playthroughs running through the same steps only to die again trying to "see what's down there" I gave up on it.

Still though, love the minecrafty visuals - controls feel great, the metroid-y progression of items is cool, etc. Awesome effort.

Fort in the Woods by pkdawson 2012-04-26T05:02:00

Nice little game - pretty cool that you got so many strategic elements worked in in the timeframe.

Planet 161 by saint11 2012-04-26T04:24:00

Sweet - nice little puzzle platformer. Really solid controls, interesting puzzles, good music & graphics. Nicely done sir.

Pocket Planet by MoltenMustafa 2012-04-26T03:55:00

Sweet, always wanted to make something like this. Modern displays are pretty spacious when you use 8x8 tiles :) I liked how Terraria took advantage of that too.

Gave up after getting to the little checkpoint in the underhang though - when I died it (seemingly erroneously) teleported me back to the desert zone, and I couldn't muster the will to fight my way back down there again.

Cool that you've got save states though, maybe I'll give it another go later.

There is a Picture by MortisGhost 2012-04-26T03:05:00

Cool - really loved the retro sound effects, probably the most interesting soundscape of any game I've played so far. Puzzle elements were interesting too - wish there were more of them to piece together.

Craemle Zone by PsySal 2012-04-26T02:43:00

Had trouble hearing the voiceovers unfortunately with the volume of the background music, so wasn't sure what to fetch after a screen or two in. Interesting though, very distinct mood.

6 Degrees of Sabotage by dukope 2012-04-26T02:26:00

Cool - great sounds, gave a good sense of period & place. Was tempted to write things down but glad I didn't, was a good memory exercise. Finally succeeded on my 3rd try.

Minilization - Dawn and Fall of Man by jarnik 2012-04-26T00:40:00

Interesting one - really impressive graphically and audio-wise. Reached both endings - I like the concept of a lifespan in a few turns, and taking on a global / human condition subject matter.

I didn't feel like I had much agency in the outcome - once I figured out how far apart to space my cities it was pretty routine to reach both endings. But with only 48 hours involved, really impressive effort.

NiÃ±a Nueve by Jonathan Whiting 2012-04-26T00:17:00

Cool, liked this one. The couple levels that introduced the "centipede" were really fun (different strategies, having to duck into corners). Liked the look of the wormy grubs.

The Tiny World of Pixels by Wampus 2012-04-25T08:18:00

Cool, really like the idea - pixels or some giant collection of things where each one gives you something different by providing a different random seed. The wack-a-mole planets were well done but only hold the attention for so long unfortunately :)

Through the Blue Sea by Sandcrawler 2012-04-25T08:05:00

No virus warnings or anything here. Technically solid. Gameplay was a little frustrating though - dots that couldn't be retrieved, powerups that weren't onscreen long enough to get. Controls felt a little oversensitive.

Free Donutia by the8donut 2012-04-25T07:56:00

Nice, really enjoyed this one. Died on my first playthrough (main character's life ran out) but figured out some strategies on the second (like get enemy zones into "contested" state as quick as possible so they don't keep spawning). Ended up being a pretty epic battle, with territory going back and forth a few times :).

BTW, think I fixed that problem you were running into in the Microbial game - latest download has a "compatibility mode" exe for some graphics cards.

Tiny World Defense Force by Beanalby 2012-04-25T07:12:00

Cool, had fun playing this. Didn't get the mechania charge thing at first, ended up thinking it was a "melee" planet :). After that got to level 7 or 8.

(BTW, for the Microbial game you and a few others were having that empty-level-1 problem on - I added a "compatibility mode" exe to the latest download that fixes it - was a problem on certain graphics cards)

A Super Mario Summary by johanp 2012-04-25T04:46:00

Nice one! Will have to try for the top ratings next time through.

Fractality by zaratustra 2012-04-25T04:23:00

Wheels within wheels - very cool. Bent my brain :)

Fracuum by TylerGlaiel 2012-04-25T04:11:00

Awesome, one of my favorites. Nice to do a game in 2 days for a change eh? Really nice exploration of an interesting mechanic. Great music and Atari 2600 aesthetic too.

ZUNZANDA by SonnyBone 2012-04-25T01:35:00

Bastion-style narration was great; good voice acting and audio all around. I found the pace a little slow, which made falling off really punishing (needing to sit through the easy levels again). Like others said most of the stars didn't hit the island which also made it challenging. Really polished for the timeframe though, great game.

Hive by ericdpitts 2012-04-25T01:05:00

Got that malicious file warning from Chrome - didn't want to risk it in case one of the dev tools was infected or something. Would be fun to try this - will check back on it later.

(btw, @ericdpitts, left a message for you on the Microbial game page)

Invasion Of The Trivials by RobProductions 2012-04-25T00:47:00

Interesting - first FPS I've played in the entries, that was cool to see. I think the spheres swarm a little too fast, and the gun feels a little ineffective. But liked the platforming aspect, and movement felt good.

The Collector by blob 2012-04-25T00:10:00

Cool, really liked the graphics on this one. Strategic element to the shrinking is cool too. The "terrorium" window went off the screen on my PC unfortunately, couldn't see most of it. Also, game required a lot of "leaps of faith" where you couldn't see below you, would be nice to know before you leap.

I Should Clean My Keyboard by cmo7 2012-04-24T23:38:00

Funniest entry I've played by far :). Story went on a bit long in places but it was really well done. Couldn't get past the despicable arrow key horde unfortunately, will have to try again.

Quark by Mach60KAS 2012-04-24T23:27:00

Nice - liked this one. Would be cool to dole out the abilities over time, the introductory text was a little too much for my brain to process in one meal. But fun premise. Would definitely play a longer version that used the abilities in different ways.

Ending cracked me up.

Zombie Fish by Ethanh59 2012-04-24T23:17:00

Heh - extreme FOV - neat. Timer didn't do anything after it expired - I think the game needs more risk / danger to be fun.

dot by Julian Ceipek 2012-04-24T23:06:00

Cool. Liked the art style and audio. Figuring out how to get through level 2 was fun.

Bactarium by csanyk 2012-04-24T22:53:00

Cool - liked the concept, would be fun to experiment with that more. Didn't understand which side I was or how to control at first, but then I got it. My strategy was to eat a path and make sure the bad colony was always in my wake.

Wild West World by DeathBySnail 2012-04-24T22:46:00

Nice - liked this one a lot. Cool sounds and music. Would be cool to have the other buildings all do stuff (probably in the plans - or maybe I missed that?).

Epic Scale Warfare by devwil 2012-04-24T22:28:00

Liked the graphics - and interesting to see HTML5 stuff. Was curious to play after the tutorial, but then didn't get it - zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out - didn't seem to have anything to do with what the tutorial was teaching.

Something Movable by YSelf Tool 2012-04-24T22:09:00

Ha. Pure deranged madness. :) Nice to see some 3D graphics. Controls were too sensitive though, given that you couldn't see too far ahead with the camera angle.

The Last Colony by Wyzfen 2012-04-24T21:26:00

Interesting concept; couldn't place more than 4 turrets though, despite getting a lot of resources - would be cool to have to keep upgrading constantly, while the onslaught gets crazier and crazier :) No bugs or anything though, worked good.

Recluse by chambers 2012-04-24T21:16:00

Nice! Never seen that mechanic before - perfect for a snail game. The endings were cool/funny too. Wish there was sound and music, and wish the game played a little faster - but it's a snail I guess. Nice overall vision, short little game but sweet.

Expand Explore Expatiate by KevinZuhn 2012-04-24T07:53:00

Cool! Had a couple awesome aha moments when I stepped into the first robot and realized what happened, and then later stepped the robot into the first red square. Good concept!

Toad Warrior by SpaceToaster 2012-04-24T07:03:00

Cool, really liked the art style. Re: gameplay - would be nice to speed things up, I made a lot of crappy jumps and had to wait 2-3 seconds to get control again. And would be cool to show the center point of the "rubber band" so I can gauge direction better (maybe it's the dude's "rubber band" :).

love in the time of fishbowls by otaviogood 2012-04-24T06:49:00

Nice, really enjoyed this. The story between levels was really fun and thought-provoking (the Matrix is everywhere Neo :). Liked the mechanic of the mating calls too.

Attack on the Planet XXS-01 by TenTonToon 2012-04-24T06:24:00

Cool - ditto what others said on the graphics, nice work there. I took a lot of hits early on and then all the asteroids and UFOs stopped coming. Delayed-aim concept is actually kinda neat.

(btw, TenTonToon, I left a comment for you on that Microbial game page)

Zombie Arena TinyWorld by Shephiroth 2012-04-24T06:14:00

Nice zombie sprites. I got almost through level 2 and died. The weapon/defense upgrades didn't work for me unfortunately, even though I had enough gold. Realtime RPG mechanics were kinda cool.

(side note - Shephiroth, I left a comment for you on the Microbial game page)

Synthesis by marudziik 2012-04-24T05:58:00

Cool concept - wish I knew more chemicals offhand :) Would be neat to see a list of what you've made. Also maybe little sticks on the atoms to help remember the number of bonding sites on different atoms, all I could remember were C / H / O.

(side note - marudziik, left a comment for you on that Microbial game page)

Cruel space by Stalker_23b 2012-04-23T10:00:00

Something tells me you've made games before...

Rock 'n' Slash by BlackBulletIV 2012-04-23T09:40:00

Cool - feels a little like Kung Fu for the NES :)

ACTION SCIENCE DOG by bburbank 2012-04-23T09:24:00

Best canine dungeon crawler I've played all week :)

I really like the mechanic of non-tile-based movement where the world only updates when you move - never seen that one explored before - interested to see where you go with it.

ANtopia by pgil 2012-04-23T09:16:00

Sweet - love the music, top notch. And great simple communication of a story without the usual excessive pontification.

Fuseglow by spacerumpus 2012-04-23T08:57:00

Neat - major nostalgia, reminded me of Sierra adventure titles and old games on the commodore 64.

A Flying Shame by spiral 2012-04-23T08:46:00

Was a little hard to tell background from foreground at first - and collision boxes are a bit big. But I liked the artwork. And the 303 riff.

This Precious Land by Ishisoft 2012-04-23T08:27:00

Cool, liked this - nice pixel art. Need to play it some more, find out what else I can make :)

Teeming by DaveDobson 2012-04-23T07:31:00

Didn't know such things were possible with javascript - very cool. Like Jonathan said the gameplay could have used a bit more strategy / variety, although things got more interesting once the attack-sym's arrived.

Interstellar Planet-Ship Adventures: The Search for... $@#% Aliens!!!!!! by mattchu 2012-04-23T07:01:00

Cool - love the idea, first strategy game I've seen on here. Unfortunately really finnicky UI/controls and a lot of code errors, so couldn't get more than halfway through it - would love to try again on a more polished build.

Space Jumper by lucars83 2012-04-23T06:04:00

Found the collision detection to be a bit wonky - needing to install / uninstall is kinda annoying too. Game was reasonably fun though.

Shrunkit by MagnesiumNinja 2012-04-23T05:32:00

Awesome - really like the core mechanic & what you did with it. Favorite of the handful of games I've played so far. Let me know when the retail version comes out :)

Tiny Life by armornick 2012-04-23T05:06:00

Click it!

Lost Oxide by SidetrackGames 2012-04-23T05:01:00

I beat it! :) Like the artwork, simple and clean, captures the style / feel of Limbo.

Nanofactory by Justin Mullin 2012-04-23T04:52:00

Nice job on this one - I got stumped around overtime 8 or 9 (too many possible combinations to juggle in my head :)

My Kid Dropped The Planet by MadGnomeGamer 2012-04-23T04:26:00

Yeah, same here - got a warning about the Parite.B virus. Didn't want to risk it. Corrupt GameMaker installation maybe?

TINY LIZARD SWELL WORLD by racarate 2012-04-23T04:24:00

There was no lizard to move - so looks like the game doesn't work? I like the music and the effects around the borders, but that's about all I can say about it.
