Flying Buttress by Jack728 2024-04-17T06:29:16Z ♥ 0
This game is challenging! I enjoyed getting better at the movement mechanics as I traversed the level, and although I got lost/confused a few times, generally I made my way through the level pretty well! I love seeing collectables and timers in gamejams, really encourages people to play through the games a few times to perfect the play. Cute graphics and audio.
LD56 — Tiny Creatures (41)
Micecape by umnatz 2024-10-16T02:18:11Z ♥ 1
I like the idea you've got here, very unique and interesting. I think with the way it plays out, it's really hard to feel the game aspect of it, since the mouse doesn't try very hard to escape, and what I can do seems glued to the mouse's perspective, so I can't build out the maze any further out that I can see on one screen (which is quite zoomed in.) However, this idea of playing against this AI agent trying to escape, and you frantically attempt to keep it confused and lost is really neat. I don't know if you ever plan on revisiting this, but there's def something new in here that could be really a ton of fun.
Great jam game, love how creative you were with your idea.
The Fish that Figured it Out by Dean Goodson 2024-10-14T07:44:03Z ♥ 1
Another Godot game, I love seeing it.
This game is so charming. The little fish, the music, the way they zoom around when you click on the fish. The game seems to be tuned for a very long experience, which is quite unusual for a game jam, but works out very well for this as it encourages you just to let it run for a while in the background as your fish get their chores done. This is one of the projects that I think would also do well outside of the game jam environment. Great job.
Karma Keepers by Nazariglez 2024-10-14T07:32:59Z ♥ 1
Cool submission for the jam, and a really unique use of the theme. The game has a lot of tension in the middle where it seems like all is lost, and then you can get a key upgrade and swing things back in your favor. Very interesting tug of war.
GARDEN RUSH by Wyvex 2024-10-14T07:17:39Z ♥ 1
A very satisfying game to play, with a lot of care to the look and feel. The sounds and juicy animations really shine here, I can tell you spent a lot of time on that aspect, and I think it paid off. The game mechanics are fun, but also, I think I was able to get really far without really having to think too much. I think there's something here, especially with how good it already feels to play, and so with just a bit more strategy to the game (and maybe to make the birbs a little more visually distinct) I think would be a really fun puzzle game. Amazing job considering this is a Jam game, the fact that it's so well put together is quite impressive.
Sammich by ColeSlaughter 2024-10-14T07:11:18Z ♥ 4
Wow - an incredible little game that is super cute and really charming. It's really fun to build up the 'limbs' of your sandwich and use it to both balance but also grab new things, making the balance out of wack. The push and pull of that mini-game is really fun, and creates a lot of tension and fun moments.
Great opening cutscene as well, but the guy with the sammich... he's okay right? He's just about to wake up, right?
Right?!
Well, either way, great entry!
Deck Derby: Sluglord's Speedway by Baconeta 2024-10-14T07:05:15Z ♥ 1
Wow - a real-time, strategy, racing card game! Only in a game jam would I get to try something so creative and unorthodox, and I had a great time with it. The variety of cards was nice, but they do all seem to have a very specific use, I wonder what else you guys could add with some more time. I loved the art and it's a very cute use of the theme. Great job.
Niblo and Mubbit by milq 2024-10-14T06:57:22Z ♥ 1
Yo another Godot game! There's been so many of these, and I love seeing it. I also love the little creatures you've created, their design reminds me of old arcade games, and they have a lot of personality in so few pixels. The mechanics are quite fun, although I do think you could expand on them some, and I love that I don't seem to be able to die, everything just sorta gets in my way and increases difficulty, but nothing is punishing or makes me reset progress. I enjoyed trying to help these little guys get home - great game.
Help From Within by Pincushion 2024-10-14T06:51:48Z ♥ 1
Wow - what a tough and creative puzzle game! Great use of theme, as well, hard to be much smaller than microscopic! The linking system seems like there would be a ton of design space here, and you've seemed to have started off very well. I think you've got a pretty good proof of concept to take it a lot further. Either way, great game jam submission!
ConquerAnts by Pierre-Marie 2024-10-14T06:39:15Z ♥ 2
Fun and interesting combination of genres here. I had a bit of difficult time early on, but once I got setup I was able to go on some missions, feed my family, and start to expand. The game seems really tough, and man did those beetles destroy me, but I can tell there's a lot of action and tactics beyond what I could get through! I won the first mission by the fraction of a pixel!! Impressive scope and scale for the game jam. Great job.
Nanobot Tactics by zSharpFire 2024-10-14T01:19:51Z ♥ 1
Great puzzle game with a lot of charm! Like a lot of people said, the third puzzle is quite the jump in difficulty, and is one of those 'tricky' answers. Great aesthetics, great soundtrack (even the one that seems quite inspired by Fireflies ;) ) and some clever level design. Great job!
Battle for the Pages by Andreas Roschal 2024-10-14T01:06:23Z ♥ 2
I got off to a pretty good start and was able to build up enough defense and strength to last a very long time. I wasn't sure if the game would be able to catch up to my stats, but eventually it did and at that point I couldn't bounce back. 52 rounds though, so that seemed pretty good. Would love to see more animals and books, but for a jam this was a great game with way enough strategy to be fun. Great job.
Highway Crossing Frog by jcbeaureg 2024-10-14T00:27:48Z ♥ 1
What if the frog in Frogger worked out with the Battletoads?! Wonder no more! Fun and silly, really nice jam game.
7777777 by Zhz 2024-10-13T23:07:04Z ♥ 1
Huh, by making it have an exact target this almost becomes a puzzle game, where you are trying to setup the combo of units and clicks just right. Interesting twist, very clever.
Buzzzy Buzzy Beez by jeroenpx 2024-10-13T23:00:02Z ♥ 2
What a cute clicker game. Great music -- at one point I found myself clicking on bees to the beat! Although once the game got fast enough that was obviously no longer a choice, hah.
Small Problems To Grapple With by Tetracold 2024-10-13T22:48:59Z ♥ 1
Really fun game, although I'm a bit partial to games that feature grapples :P I liked that you could use the dive button to bounce higher, a really simple but fun way to get a bit more altitude before firing off the grapple. A bit like a platform-puzzler, solving for the best path to stay alive and getting higher. Great job.
Don't Touch My Sandwich by FrikiLight8 2024-10-10T06:09:04Z ♥ 5
Omg my worst nightmare - an anthill on my ceiling and ants pouring down the wall to get my sandwich. This is eerily close to one time I had ants in my home, maybe I should have used a shotgun instead of bug repellant! Great little game.
Bugtallion by goodwincek 2024-10-10T05:58:14Z ♥ 1
Great vibe, great aesthetics. Fun, simple premise that you can easily understand with enough strategy in movement to make it fun. I think the randomness involved with rolling can make some impossible to lose games, but with a little balance in the rules for deployment this game would be quite addicting!
Bug Bounty by woona 2024-10-10T05:44:42Z ♥ 1
Wow, this game starts off with a BANG. Literally... who knew that the apocalypse would star tiny creatures?
I love that as I get stronger (more guys) it also gets harder to stay safe (I get so big!) The feeling of progression as you grow your army is really rewarding.
Horseless Headman by SwanBoat 2024-10-10T05:35:33Z ♥ 1
The awesome visuals captured me, and the fun gameplay kept me playing. It's interesting to separate your attack and your body, makes it a lot more of a challenge to keep track of both, and while I felt like an expert at first, the game really humbled me by the half way mark! I could see this having more mechanics and being a lot bigger of a game - really nice entry!
Flea Patrol by Sviborg 2024-10-10T05:28:47Z ♥ 1
Hard to be tinier than little fleas! Love that you went the route of using pixels to represent your creatures, really nailed the theme. The cover art and the name really drew me in, good job on that. I figured out how I could leap my fleas off of each other in the air, which meant I could really defeat some of the levels in cool, impressive ways.
Ink Rebels by perka 2024-10-10T05:24:44Z ♥ 5
I really love the art in this, the hand drawn style is super endearing. I had a lot of trouble at the beginning, even just moving around I fell to my death, but eventually I was able to get enough paint to make a small army. I still got obliterated after that though, haha.
Gobbo Freakout by Seth L 2024-10-10T05:15:06Z ♥ 0
I really like the look of this game but I couldn't really get it to behave very consistently. I like the concept of a Worms-like game but that you also use those mechanics to move around. Nice use of theme, congrats on the game.
Silk & Snare by MartensCedric 2024-10-10T03:33:23Z ♥ 4
This is a really clever, but simple idea, done well. It's very satisfying to build the web, and then those jerk bugs show up to bust it up. But I guess I get the last laugh anyway, as I do devour a bunch of them. Great job.
Rattalion by MaybeitsMir 2024-10-10T03:25:00Z ♥ 3
Very interesting game, I love the combination of rhythm gameplay with strategy gameplay. Even though I had a really hard time understanding what my rat crew was doing, I still think you guys have something special here. Really whimsical music and art, and certainly makes a great vibe, I felt like going to war! Good luck on the post-jam version, I think it's gonna rock. (PS: What a smart idea to have a cheat button for people who are blasting through these games... I'm totally going to adopt this for future jams! Elegant solution and kind to the audience you know you have!)
Slime Store Simulator 2024 by gamesplusjames 2024-10-10T03:11:49Z ♥ 1
What a great store sim game, and in such a short time as well. Loved the slimes, they are a pretty fun interactable, and I could see you taking it much further. Placing items on the shelf is done in a really satisfying way - watching them all line up on the shelf is fantastic! I didn't make a lot of profit but my customers seemed happy enough!
Maze Bat by oliver_day 2024-10-10T02:55:58Z ♥ 2
Chill vibes, what a nice vibe break from the standard LD submission. It was nice to solve a maze with an animated ascii bat (PS: love the ascii bat! ^^) and just let the music play.
Placeholders vs Golems by mcdima 2024-10-10T02:48:45Z ♥ 2
Wow - for a first game this is excellent - and doubly so considering you did it with the extra stress of a game jam! Congrats and here's to many more games to come!
Crossfire by Jack D. Taylor 2024-10-10T02:42:18Z ♥ 2
Man, I've been dealing with ants in my home lately and I now super glad none of them have weapons. I had a lot of fun with this one, and while I see that a lot of people are mentioning the controls as a sticking point, I wonder if the fiddleyness of them might actually be what makes this game so charming. It's kind of difficult to do what you want, and even with practice you are still kind of clumsy, and I think it makes the combat a little more fun and a lot more surprising.
Welcome back to the game jam, hope you make another game next time!
Void Creatures by KaDokta 2024-10-10T02:34:58Z ♥ 3
Wow, this is very satisfying to play, the way the creatures move is great. It's a simple game loop but still ends up being really fun to play. It is a little frustrating to just wait whenever the portal is completely covered over by danger, but maybe I need to get more patient :P Great job on the game jam.
Spirit Stumps by amooseinaroom 2024-10-09T05:55:36Z ♥ 2
I can certainly see the Pikmin influence, and with some more things to use your little creatures on, this could be quite good. I liked that you brought the survivors from level to level, although that did get me a little in trouble when I lost a bunch during a tough fight. Cool that you used your own custom language!
Fluto by pataya 2024-10-09T05:27:07Z ♥ 5
Wow what a wonderful, whimsical game - the art style grabbed me instantly! Making a tactics game be about music and vibe is great! Even just chillin in the forest with my little friends was great, and to build on that with some city management makes it so much more. There's probably more in here to explore! Great game!
Leafkin Quest by Ethernal Tech 2024-10-09T05:19:43Z ♥ 2
What a great 'little' game! And it wouldn't be a game jam without a bunch of things you had to cut before the deadline, hah. There's always next jam :)
Great use of theme, being a berry is great. And such a nice little option to be able to pick your color - I made sure to be grape (clearly the best berry soldier).
Beaver Drop by hkeane 2024-10-09T05:05:44Z ♥ 0
I was able to pick up a bunny once, and I think they started to mass reproduce once, but I couldn't get the wolves and bunnies to interact.
Critter Conflict by SpiRiTs 2024-10-09T04:48:23Z ♥ 3
I love the art! The bear level is a great example of how to really sell the theme of being tiny - the bear is so big that you can't even see the whole boss on the screen. Love that another team is using Godot! The game is very difficult, which goes with the Cuphead inspiration, but maybe for a game jam it's more fun to be able to see more of the game? Either way, really good game, great art, quite fun!
Cordyception by Rakthalekk 2024-10-09T04:38:00Z ♥ 4
What a cool game - it really reminds of the old NES Little Nemo game where you took over monsters to get their powers. Not quite the same aesthetic, but still kind of close, in that you guys made such a whimsical and magical world to travel though. Great game. Great puzzles.
Crazy Hive by Luk3 2024-10-09T04:32:50Z ♥ 3
Wow - each level being hand draw and making all parts of it unique is really wild! I love how it gives everything a unique look. Loved seeing another Godot user, there's a bunch of us now! Great job.
Heart Attack by pacific14 2024-10-09T04:28:10Z ♥ 3
I'm so small that I'm protecting the heart! Great use of theme. I wish I leveled up a lot faster at the beginning of the game so that it was a bit easier restarting when you die, but nicely put together for the jam!
HATCH by jelch 2024-10-09T04:21:26Z ♥ 3
Well made 'little' pinball game! The graphics almost have a Win2000 pixel style to them, and certainly feels a bit inspired by 3D Pinball Space Cadet.
Tiny Survivors by wospy 2024-10-09T04:13:43Z ♥ 0
I love the fact that dying in this game is per-upgrade. That still means taking damage is really costly (and probably game ending when you are deep into the level) but it a cool way to make the risk/reward really compelling. I wish the camera was a bit further out, as I felt ambushed in an unfair way a few times, but this was a great entry!
Creature Falls by Ansible 2024-10-09T04:07:06Z ♥ 1
The way that the game path just keeps going down and down and down is really compelling -- really invites you to the challenge of getting the tiny creatures down to the end. I was not good enough to get any down there, and it does feel pretty random a lot of the time, but with some more practice I bet I would learn the paths and how to use the machine shake in order to win. Great submission!
World's Tiniest Desktop Pets by PlusOneRabbit 2024-10-09T04:00:52Z ♥ 2
What a fun 'little' idea! Loved to see them eat away at my image food. Great audio, great vibe. Hard to be much tinier!
