LD38 — A Small World

W.R.L.D. (World Reconnaissance eLite Defense) by TerraCottaFrog 2017-05-02T14:42:28Z

Well i feel like im taking crazy pills as it seems like everyone loved it but i honestly found it too frustrating to play =S The controls for me were too hard/weird as your aim is bound to the way you are facing made it really hard to aim where to shoot. Although the effects look nice they really make it hard to see whats going on in the screen plus the enemy bullets being the same color as yours makes it even harder. I dont know maybe im just a noob haha managed to score 1750

C_NFINEMENT R__M by Tselmek 2017-05-02T17:09:14Z

@yirggzmb same happened here. Love the idea man but it seems we are getting to the end of the game instantly =S Also judging by the hints .txt those are the last two levels, we are actually skipping the first 18 i think.

Dot by euske 2017-05-02T16:57:27Z

A Pale Blue Dot! ;) Was quite a fun game though i dont get the small sense of it, a Solid 3/5

The Petite Planetoid Problem by Mike Cullingham 2017-05-03T11:23:06Z

Pretty simple game, i liked the graphics. The sound was a little too loud. I could not figure out how to jump from planet to planet so i used the cheat with the mouse (or was that the intention?) You can also pick up every coin with the mouse haha. I found the controls to be kinda weird.

Last Bloom by NvrSkipGameDay 2017-05-02T13:42:32Z

Pretty fun game lasted 168 seconds until the tree sunk. Nice graphics, love the character animation and design. Would have loved to get some sfx with the game those punches lacked punch if you know what i mean. Controlling the girl felt awesome.

SmallRTS by MaxguN 2017-05-17T22:19:35Z

Hi @maxgun, im sachos you played my game Antnator on your stream. Okay i played your game, first time it froze at 1:16, second time it froze at about 2:44 when i was about to win, for some reason i could not control yellow eventhough i could not see any yellow dot around and then it suddenly froze. Third time it froze at 4:01. Could not win it sadly. Honestly eventhough the concept is interesting i did not find it that fun, i think what the different parameters do is not that clear, cant figure out what does Workload do? It would have been cool to have a little chill bg music and some graphics.

Space Hummus by dietzribi 2017-04-30T15:18:57Z

Wow this looks amazing!

Space Hummus by dietzribi 2017-05-01T15:01:23Z

Ok this is amazing! The graphics, the animations the juiciness! +1 for Potto amazing design i love his face haha and Space Vegans Space Gluten?? My only concern is that you can jump from the first planet to the last one and skip the whole level in a lot of levels (you have to be good at controling Potto) you can do some funky stuff with this game gravity haha; still think you nailed it.

For example this level, the first one with fire planets http://prntscr.com/f2w9ym you can skip the challenge pretty easily, was that the point? You can do the same with the first level you are introduced to spring planets.

I rated very category with a 5, but overall i will give you a 4 star because of the way you can end the levels (wich i dont know if it was intended or not)

Ant Forts by rplnt 2017-05-03T15:59:30Z

Pretty fun, is there an end game? or just play till you lose? I really wish you have made some sfx for it.

Slice of Life by tweedle 2017-05-02T12:44:33Z

Holy shit this game was fun! haha, the art is amazing, the sounds are amazing. Everything seems perfect, only complain/critic i have is that it is really easy, beat it first try Mushroom Bombs are OP, also number 2 Shrooms are really good. Congrats on the game man was really cool!

The Adventure of Malvin by NOFUEL 2017-05-02T18:12:32Z

This has to be the best game i have played so far, amazing graphics sound and the gameplay is the best, once you get used to it you feel soo good sliding around and jumping like a god. Took me like 4 or 5 tries to beat the final boss. I did not have trouble with the wall jumping, in fact it was the easiest to me.

Rock-E by endlesspeak 2017-05-03T14:23:39Z

All the stones and rocks jokes are on point i loved The Rock one lmao. The controls are super weird, why have two different buttons to interact? It was weird going from Space to Enter when you can use one for both actions as you cant do anything while talking anyway. Also the controls in the over world are inverted as you actually move the rock world not your character i found that pretty anoying. "Oh my Volcano!"

Forme Sauvage by numero15 2017-05-03T11:17:12Z

Well that was a pretty interesting idea and the fact that all is procedurally generated is super cool. I wish there was a way to spawn colors that you missed, i got a few runs where i only got Blue or Orange color left and most of the forms i was getting at top where for colors i didnt have. I dont see how this match with the theme though. This could work as mobile you should keep working at it.

Inside Inc. by OWC 2017-05-03T13:32:15Z

Amazing graphics and gameplay, missing a shooting sfx no?

Naarrow by Ace17 2017-05-02T13:32:50Z

Holy shit i almost stop playing at the beginning did not understand what was going on. Got to the dash powerup and could not figure out how to pass that first set of spikes =S The music is amazing it really makes you feel claustrophobic. The art could see improvement (is that a stick figure dick im seeing??) Some walls seemed toooo narrow (hehe) to use the climb power up it felt kinda clunky. Cool concept man, congrats!

Chill Bill by drtizzle 2017-05-02T14:20:57Z

Pretty fun game but i think you should optimize a bit more the bad frame rate affects the gameplay a bit ( i have i3 4170 and a GTX 960 8gb ram) The strong point of the game is the art department for sure (Graphics and Sound)

The Taker by Epicsoft 2017-05-02T12:34:13Z

Mmm i think it bugged out for me i was expanding with castles and for some reason it zoomed in on 3 castles and was stuck there, i think the idea was good but the excution was flawed, sorry i wanted to enjoy the game but could not =S I think if you fix the camera movement with maybe a zoom in and out feature it would get a lot better.

Super Natural Defense by AfroAnt 2017-04-25T04:20:43Z

Hi AfroAnt im sachos the creator of Antnator, i played your game and i actually relly enjoyed it, took me 3 rounds to beat it. The first one i did not understand what i was doing, the second one i realized what the white orbs did (the resource) but i did not realize that i needed to plant trees to get more resources, that way i beat the game in round 3. My complain is that for some reason part of the UI was hidden under my taskbar and that was solved going fullscreen using Alt+Return but the top of the UI i cant see, dont know what is written up there haha. Love the art of the trent haha. Good job!

Small World Family Traders by beardywombat 2017-05-03T11:38:23Z

Wow that was hard playing it as one player, does the red car explotes? I dont know if i actually beat the game or not i managed to break the back and front of it and it stoped moving. With some more polish and sound fx this could be a fun local multiplayer game, the change of seat mechanic was confusing but that may be because i was playing alone.

NT-Virus by fingamer 2017-05-02T13:56:25Z

Agree completly with @theclinthennesy review, the intro was amazing but the game laked some crucial animations like hit, death and attack animations. Also i find it weird when the enemy dies it makes no sound but it does when it gets hit. I loved the background, the mood, the level names. The mechanic was really simple though i think level 4 was a huge rump up on difficulty, i was using the Time to scan upgrade but i did not see any difference was that damage upgrade?

All The Way Down by luthwyhn 2017-05-20T01:07:58Z

Fck Me Dead! Well its really simple and the presentation is not that good =S As other said a retry button would have been nice. And some sound too! Art was charming though.

The Other by tommakesgames 2017-05-03T14:28:45Z

Yay for Construct friend. Mmm neat idea but the game ended up being not that fun. I like the graphic style.

Micro Mayor by pizzapranks 2017-05-02T16:31:03Z

Oh man that did not last long, it left me wanting for more. Solid 3/5

Bullet Wrap by Chao 2017-05-02T13:02:00Z

Man this game needs audio sooo bad! The idea of the health being the world itself was pretty neat, i think i have never seen something like that in another game. The graphics were great, the parallax with the stars gave a cool sense of depth. There were A LOT of enemy types thats amazing for the time given. I got 104 points.

Ant Detective by Aumbra 2017-04-25T07:37:53Z

Saw a full gameplay of this game on https://www.twitch.tv/snowdrama streams, this was amazing haha

Ant Detective by Aumbra 2017-05-02T14:00:05Z

Man i really think you guys should take this game to the next level, it was amazing i really cant believe you did this in 72hs.

Planet Hoppers by Snowdrama 2017-05-01T13:16:35Z

Hi @snowdrama i finally played your game! (i was waiting for ratings to be up to start rating games). I liked the game mechanic, i could beat the game the first try and i liked that i understood what to do pretty quickly though as other have said you could get lost quick as the minimap doesnt show where the things are (i think?) though one could argue that if the mini map showed the Ship and the Warp Gems it would be too easy?

The second time i played i could find the 4 Warp Gems but i could not find the Ship im pretty sure the Black Hole already ate it, is that possible? What happens if you lose your ship to the Black Hole does another spawn?

One thing i did not like is the planet spinning for some reason i get pretty bad motion sickness with spinning things =S

Neon Genesis Pluto by Avocadosan 2017-04-24T06:30:57Z

Wow! We actually had the same exact idea, Pluto looking for revenge, i ended up doing something different but still, pretty cool to see you acted upon this idea haha.

Neon Genesis Pluto by Avocadosan 2017-05-02T14:50:13Z

Nice graphics man, not a big fan of the humor though. I liked the Uranus pooping though hahaha. Jupiter told me to do 80x2 and i wrote 160 but it did not work for some reason, stopped playing right there. All that said, i actually did not find the game than fun to play.

Flerth by parahunter 2017-05-03T16:05:24Z

LMAO this is amazing 5/5 in every category ahahah it really made me laugh the first time i smashed my first scared out Peep haha. 330 final score.

@jojocanard you have to keep the Peeps in happy in your city once they start to get away drag them again to your city.

Deep Down Uranus by AsSoonAsImpossible 2017-05-03T11:10:53Z

Managed to score 1955, and ohhh boy i felt dizzy haha. I think the game is too hard should start a little easier, also it reaally needs some catchy tune.

Ultra-ninja VS falling zombies by gaspard 2017-05-02T12:49:51Z

I voted based on the video, seems a solid 3/5. Im sorry but you should make the game easier to test, as @huvaakoodia said, im not going to download all that for just one game. From the video i can see its a simple game with basic but good enough graphics, what i liked most was the things the Ninja said every time it killed a zombie haha "Chan" "Desu Ne" i take you were making a joke on weeabos or something like that?

Ultra-ninja VS falling zombies by gaspard 2017-05-02T18:47:47Z

@gaspard okay sorry will delete my rating.

Hamster, RUN! by theDoodleGuy 2017-05-02T13:18:47Z

Mmmm im conflicted with this one, i think its fun but at the same time super frustrating having to retry the whole thing every time you die plus the restarting "animation" its pretty slow and you have to take away your hands from keyboard and use the mouse just to start the game it all adds up to making the game frustrating to play for me, also its not clear when is the cat starts to take away your health. Sound is missing in my browser. The graphics were amazing. Solid 3/5

Diggy McDigface by jcheatley 2017-05-03T12:32:25Z

AMAZING, super fun. Love this kind of game, graphics could have been a little bit better. Maybe an option to sell all resources at once? Really cool game!

Bee World by InaBox 2017-05-03T14:05:33Z

850 points. Pretty simple game, needs some music and sfx. agree with @mrspeaker . Loved the Lady Bombs.

Little Sprout Garden by Valmay 2017-05-02T17:48:53Z

Super cute chill game, saw this game get played on lots of streams, i wish it had more advanced AI though.

Rock my Ship by Hethsin 2017-05-02T11:49:45Z

Pretty cool game concept, took a minute to understan the mechanic. I wish my guy moved a little faster it was really hard trying to collect the metal because you dont know from where the Planets are coming from. Maybe a warning would be helpful?

Colorfly by Zelos 2017-05-02T15:07:57Z

Cant believe this is a Compo game, how did you do that many songs plus the game in such a short time?? Such a chill awesome experience, the game was not challenging but still pretty fun as i played i was thinking i was about to rate it a 3 in Fun but at the end with that epic chace (is the evil bfly supposed to always catch you?how can you run away from it) i uped it up to 4

24/30 Trees were planted.

Last day of the woods by Redblack Spade 2017-05-01T15:34:58Z

You made this in 72hs?? I almost can not believe it. Amazing sounds and graphics and really fun mechanics, never seen that square teleportation mechanic before. You made this game with Construct 2 by any chance? One complain i have is that flying to the last checkpoint takes a lot of time i wish to retry inmediatly, it being so slow makes failing frustrating to me =S

Made it to this level http://prntscr.com/f2wn03

Monolith by samlo 2017-05-01T15:18:49Z

Really cool game, but i feel its too hard to tell when you are about to get hit the camera angle doesnt help that much plus you are focused on locking on targets makes it hard to actually be aware of what is going on.

Get To The Rocket by Vaskivo 2017-05-03T11:29:14Z

That was a fun little game, it really missed some sfx and music though. I found it was pretty easy, but still fun. Nice entry!

Warpy's World by Nilanjan 2017-05-02T16:45:03Z

The concept and art is good but every level can be finished abusing some collision bugs, the game feels really buggy is not that fun sadly, but if you polish it more you can have a nice game. Also after the last level the screen just let you see the rain correct? Or did i encounter a level loading bug?

Rise of the Termites by Togis 2017-05-01T14:40:57Z

Hi @togis ! i finally played your game (you played mine on your stream). Man, this is so cool for a 72hs game, pretty complex and fun! It took me some time to learn how to play but when i finally did it was awesome! And i agree with Burgee i wish i could dig more than one room at time, thats why i have more ant-slaves! haha. You opted out of Music so i should not vote in that category correct?

Rise of the Termites by Togis 2017-05-01T15:44:09Z

@togis yup, fixed now!

Minor Alternative Destroyer by wolderado 2017-05-02T13:08:21Z

Pretty cool game, really simple to play and as such quite addictive. Got something like 1400~ points (yeah i suck?) Congrats on your game man. Also what are some of the easter eggs, i did not find any? Also what are those other dead spikys in the start of the game?

It's square to be a cube by Khorm 2017-05-04T15:16:45Z

As a lot of people said, the controls are a little weird, but the game idea is awesome. Nice game man! You should work it further if you want!

Dungeon In a Bottle by jhandsy 2017-05-01T14:13:08Z

Everything about this game is amazing but i find it too frustrating, the game is about jumping and i actually dont know if it is because im bad at the game or is it because i dont completly understand how the mechanic works but for me the jumping feels too random? I mean sometimes i feel like i did not do anything and for some reason my guy is jumping around like crazy and finish the level in one try, but when i actually want to time every jump it feels sometimes it works and other doesnt but i feel im doing the samething as before i dont know how to explain it but i find it super frustrating.

Also Arrow keys would have been great, i find for platformers arrow keys to be way more confortable, specially if you use Space to jump.

This is the level i stoped playing, i need to play other games too! (This game is addictively frustrating)

http://prntscr.com/f2vtwm

NUKEBALL by camilovr 2017-05-03T13:50:08Z

I found the controls to be too cluncky to play correctly, aiming was super hard and jerky =S

Slightly Angry Max by Takusan 2017-05-02T14:11:41Z

Ohh man i feel this game could be a lot better just by increasing the speed of it as a whole, i think its too slow right now. I would increase the moving speed of Max, and decrease the rate at wich you overheat i found it was too punishing, could not get past the first boss, found really hard to kill all the guys with just the basic gun i got no powerups man! haha

Lunar Depot 38 by eevee 2017-05-02T17:41:20Z

Reached Wave 5 with all upgrades but the super expensive one. I failed Wave 5 and quit. It had amazing graphics and sound, the art reminded me of Oyasumi Punpun, the main character where you inspired by it? About the gameplay i find it was difficult to aim because the level terrain was blocking all my shots, plus it was difficult to travel through it. I got bored pretty quickly of going back and forth the mural and the door, thats why i didnt bored to finish Wave 5, i think the game would have worked better with just one place where you get attacked OR if you decide for two places to get attacked make the traveling a bit more easy.

Quarky Space Explorer by Bamboy 2017-05-01T13:34:27Z

Hi @jamgrrl i finally played your game (you played mine on your stream), im sorry to tell you this but i did not find the experience of playing your game enjoyable =S The movement was too jerky it distracted me from the whole experience, moving around the planet to fetch and interact with the items/objects was a pain, if you could have solved that isue it would have been great, but in the current state of the game i can not rate it highly.

I gave the carrots to the bunny and use the comb on the sheep, but i could not find what to do with the cat and the pond. Also when you get your jetpack upgrade it is really easy to go into space to never comeback, it makes it even harder to move around your planet, was the tail of the cat in another planet? i went to the moon but could not find anything.

Quarky Space Explorer by Bamboy 2017-05-01T13:35:20Z

Mmm sorry but for some reason my comment was posted 3 times =S

It's a Doll's World After All by glenugie 2017-05-03T12:12:42Z

Music was cool, but i found the game to be confusing. The graphics were pretty messy, could not get past first level.

Rebuild. by TehT 2017-05-03T14:44:16Z

Im sorry but cant understand how this game works =S.

Tiny Epic Space Battles by Leonatos 2017-05-03T12:07:50Z

Ohh too bad i dont have anyone to play with. I tried it myself and found the graphics and sound really good (did you make the sound yourself pretty sure those pick ups sounds are from Kenny CC0?) The UI at the bottom was pretty hard to read. Liked the variety in guns and how they got updated every run.

Treasure Hunter by The Shadow 2017-05-03T12:01:06Z

I did some of the puzzle but had no idea what i was doing and what all those post sign mean, sorry. Also to opt out of the category you have to do it in your game page it has been updated.

Antnator by sachos345 2017-04-24T18:58:50Z

@sagarpatel25700 thanks man

@bluelioness Wow thanks! Yeah one of the best things of Construct 2 is that it makes really easy to make parallax backgrounds, about the difficulty i could finish the game pretty easily but i understand as i played it a ton by the time i finished it haha.

@jupiter-hadley Thanks man! I will be checking your video ASAP, will leave a comment on Youtube haha

Antnator by sachos345 2017-04-26T23:27:48Z

@drazil100 Thanks for playing the game but i will be honest with you... i actually like the gravity that way, i dont like floaty jumping. About the enemies i think you played way too recklessly you did not even try to kill the enemies...About the theme i think if the only thing that fits the theme is an actual small world then every game would be the same. Its a "small world" because the action happens in tiny dimentions, if humans were alive in the world they would smash those ants and cockroaches with only one foot.

Antnator by sachos345 2017-04-28T21:59:14Z

@togis Yup was there with you on the stream, thanks for giving my game a chance man. And i completly agree with the decorative platforms things, did not even think about that. Will be sure to rate your game on Sunday =)

Antnator by sachos345 2017-04-28T22:26:07Z

@itzhak-w haha yeah it is my biggest regret, i can finish the game without dying but i think a lot of people are finding it too hard =S what level did you end up?

@jamgrrl Thanks for playing watched it on your stream =)

Antnator by sachos345 2017-04-29T02:02:00Z

@skywilly thanks for playing it! Loved watching your reactions on your stream haha.

Antnator by sachos345 2017-05-01T19:29:45Z

@geeitsomelaldy I just used BeepBox for the music just did some random things there as have 0 knowldage of music haha

Antnator by sachos345 2017-05-02T15:29:40Z

@killtolive yeah i know thats why i put the double jump and jump down thing on the controls instruction, i forgot to say that in the actual game! haha

Antnator by sachos345 2017-05-02T18:42:33Z

@piscythe You are right a warning for God Mode (and all powerups) would have been useful, the last levels were soo rushed, i was getting out of time so i rushed everything and put the power ups there so player could try every combination of them. Thanks for playing man glad you could finish the game in one try, a lot of people quit before that!

@jhandsy yup now i regret not making the basic gun infinite. Thanks for playing it seems a lot of people liked the art style will start to improve on that and refine my style for next games.

@wildmusketeer Yeah enemies ended up being too tanky that doesnt feel good in the end, also the platforms ended up being too tiny i refret so much about that specially Level 2, Level 2 sucks. Thanks for playing!

Antnator by sachos345 2017-05-03T15:02:09Z

Super glad a lot of people are enjoying the controls, at the beginning i got some comments saying they didnt feel that good but i see there are more people that enjoy them than dont. Thanks for the great comments and feedback everyone.

@giusex27 yeah the level design sucks, i hate level 2 haha. Thanks for playing.

@aumbra you gotta give Construct 2 engine some credit in terms of controls, its really easy to tune the controls just right the way you like it. Thanks for playing glad you enjoyed it!

Antnator by sachos345 2017-05-03T21:09:43Z

@nofuel Oh my, thanks for playing though your game was way better than mine! haha Level 4 you just gotta go to the right.

@marcio-gastaldello i think you commented in the wrong game?

Antnator by sachos345 2017-05-07T11:03:30Z

@daisy @vladik-plays @chaseplays @morbidcamel101 thanks a lot guys your comments are super encouraging! I love that you guys like the gameplay and kinda like the graphics too haha.

RC kitchen Throwdown by oxrock 2017-05-02T12:00:13Z

Re Volt anyone? Sorry man but i did not enjoy this, its okay it was your first try but the gameplay feels slow. I find it cool that you have to know where the doggo is by the sound he makes but an option to move around the camera with the mouse would be nice. About the traps, the only one i found was the dog food one and that killed my fps. It was super easy to start rolling around when you hit just about anything, specially the dog when he attacks you you pretty much have to restart the game as you start flipping around the place =S. You will get better so keep practicing and look out for that optimization man, your next game cant have those massive fps drops again =)

Sucker Munch by oultrox 2017-05-02T18:27:15Z

2485 points and made in Construct! yay for C2 bros. Amazing game, the juiciness in this is really cool, great gameplay feel. The resolution of the game was so low that sometimes it was hard to see what was happening. Made it to Wave 18 and i think the last upgrade (the big Eye with multiple lazors)

Amoebros by Spinaljack 2017-05-02T12:24:35Z

Holy shit this game was awesome! I love this kind of games. Loved the idea, and who would have known? I was a girl all along! Love the ending with little Amoebro jumping out the microscope haha. Only complain i have is the music/sound where too loud and the mute button was really hard to found. Also i think the WASD movement is no needed, for this kind of game i think a click and drag movement is better, it allows to sit back and relax watching Amoebros go around wrecking havock! =). Also i think there was a bug when moving the sliders im pretty sure i cheated a little moving the sliders back and forth as it changed the values randomly i think.

Shrinkomancer by LincoN 2017-05-03T13:04:04Z

It was a good idea but really bad execution sadly, the platforming was really bugged getting stuck at walls was really easy, reached level 2 and quit out of frustration.

Alien Ant Wars by Fallayn_and_Kesnek 2017-05-03T14:01:26Z

That music hahaha amazing, was pretty fun but hard to play because of the resolution you set the game to, you need a fullscreen button.
