LD38 — A Small World

420 Planets by Kakureta 2017-05-14T00:04:29Z

Great game! Nice difficulty, both with the platforming and with the riddles, nice music, nice humor (in my opinion of course)... Top notch man!

Planet Desumaton by SiegfriedCroes 2017-05-01T16:22:10Z

Great game all around! Others are saying it's difficult... For me, it was the perfect difficulty. I failed once, and killed the planet on the second try.

I liked everything in the game: The throwing mechanic, the boss's AI, the beautiful graphics and animation, the way it all went together... Top notch.

Only suggestions would be to add an HP bar to the Earth, and adding music.

The Pendant World by Jerm 2017-05-14T08:54:49Z

I am confused... I was a triangle and now I'm a purple guy with weird hair? Forever?

BAD RNG by internetpaulicy 2017-05-14T08:15:29Z

Cool idea with the spiders! It was a fun game, good job!

Core Breakdown! by Firstdream 2017-05-01T16:03:24Z

Scene transitions and talking to NPC's is well done. The graphics and animations are weird, but do a good job in giving mood to the game.

The spider extermination mini game is cool! I's cool to predict the movement that spiders will do before killing them with the laser!

I couldn't get past the sheep-herding minigame. This one sheep was always going out of the center square. Eventually I could make it go into the square, but nothing happened...

Microms' World by TomBuston 2017-05-01T15:46:29Z

Beautiful graphics, music, and overall mood! I felt sorry for the cute white guys having to be sacrificed for food!

I lasted 12 years and got 2273 points.

Sometimes I could take down 2 monsters with 1 guy. It seems like it is a bug, because I couldn't do it again, but it would be a nice feature for the game to have: maybe give me a multiplier in food when I do it, because it's hard to do.

Overall it's a nice game. Good job!

Lead the Ants by matita 2017-05-01T15:04:43Z

Nice work for a first game! The mechanic for ants to follow the traces is well done. Also having the grass slow down the movement is a good idea.

But as it is, the game's only challenge is to find the food. Once that's done, you leave a trace and just watch the ants pick the food.

Some suggestions: - Let me speed up the time when I'm done leaving the trace, so that I can watch in fast-motion - (Better than the last one) Give me something to do while the ants are getting food. For example, fight against some enemies, like worms trying to steal food from the ants. - Have several food locations, and let food end more quickly. That way, I have to split the ants, and there might be a strategy in there...

Overall the concept is nice, and the mechanics are interesting. But to be a challenging game, it needs more diversity in gameplay.

Planet Taxi by Marin0104 2017-05-14T09:06:21Z

This gave me flashbacks to playing crazy taxi with my dad ages ago :slight_smile:

The graphics are nice, and the car control feels good, especially when you drift and the wheels make sound.

I think it could be a bit more forgiving in the difficulty... I start to loose money way too fast.

Overall it's a really nice and innovative game! Good job!

DEFEND YOUR SMALLEST OF WORLDS by Ben McEldowney 2017-05-14T08:22:47Z

Yay, I barely survived! The game goes very fast, which makes it hard to even notice if your shot hit or not sometimes... I think the game would improve simply by reducing the speed to like 75% of what it is now.

But overall you did a good job :thumbsup:

Every Man's Sky by blaster391 2017-05-01T15:17:08Z

Nice one! It reminds me of r/place - Everyone has its space in the galaxy, to build planets with whatever name they like. It was cool to find some counter-strike references.

Sillyzilla Rampage by Eric Florio 2017-05-14T08:06:53Z

Great game! The concept is new (at least to me), and it's well executed. Nice immersion as well with the black-and-white 50s atmosphere.

Battle Bugs by flyingbear 2017-05-14T08:41:09Z

I don't know why but the game ran in slow motion for me... It was like less than half the speed of the gif on the top of this page...

But even so, I spent a long time playing it. There were so many things to evolve to... Really nice!
