LD23 — Tiny World

Hoperay by Shackhal 2012-04-23T23:33:00

Thank you so much for your comments.

I know it's tough, i lose some times playing it xD.

But here is a hint: Both mini-spheres can be destroyed. But beware that they will re spawn after some time.

Hoperay by Shackhal 2012-04-24T08:36:00

Thanks again for your amazing comments.

DaveDobson, it's actually 300 hits to beat him xD

Hoperay by Shackhal 2012-04-24T18:35:00

That's ok, i don't have any complains in that. But because i don't know how to make music, that doesn't mean i don't have to put music in there. I wanted to give it some feeling in there too.

And i'm proud with myself for the results.

Hoperay by Shackhal 2012-04-28T19:09:00

Well, i had give the credits to their respective artists in the readme file and in the ending scene, like said in the Newgrounds' webpage, so i am not breaking any rights. And i don't have any problems to put it in my entry. Sorry if that upset you :(

Only i am sorry with myself for not knowing how to make music, but i wanted to add some appropriate music. It feels really different without music.

Tinysasters by Volute 2012-04-28T00:58:00

Cool game. I like it xD

Singularity by Todd Luke 2012-04-23T23:23:00

I beat your game. I fits with the theme. Nice "singularity" xD

Spaceways by roundcrisis 2012-04-26T18:37:00

I cant rate your game because the ".exe" file doesn't run. Sorry :(

Going Rogue by FrankieSmileShow 2012-04-24T01:56:00

I like the graphics, gameplay and music. Nice game, Frankie xD

Nook by PoV 2012-04-24T01:09:00

Nice graphics.

MakHappy by JosephGribbin 2012-05-02T00:07:00

Cool entry. Very fun xD

ANT SURF HERO: THE SURFENING by JigxorAndy 2012-04-23T23:18:00

I like the humor inside this game. Good job :)

Pin Party by cambrian_era 2012-04-23T23:17:00

I made like 30000 pts but lose in the end. Great game, i like the rainbow shoots xD

Orbiter by thatshelby 2012-04-23T23:26:00

I like the Rotation Tower Defense System (aka. 'RTDS' xD) you implemented in this game. Nice game.

Conquest: Herb Garden by BlueSweatshirt 2012-04-23T23:10:00

A tiny invasor against own "inmense" world. Nice game!

Inside My Radio by TurboDindon 2012-04-23T23:28:00

The music...i'm speechless. Simply awesome.

Apocalypse Inc. by mooosh 2012-04-23T23:19:00

Cool graphics in this spherical planet. I like it :D

Tiny World War by jimmypaulin 2012-04-26T21:55:00

Great job, man! The game is awesome xD

Epic Scale Warfare by devwil 2012-04-25T02:31:00

@devwil: I have read your comment in my entry. Well...a lot have complain about the exactly same comment. And after read some of your comments in your entry, i can only same this:

"If you don't want to play our 'non-browser' games, then ignore them. Fixed issue."

LD26 — Minimalism

Gods Will Be Watching by Deconstructeam 2013-05-03T03:27:00

Awesome game, guys! Graphics are great and nice use of the theme using simple and precise gameplay. Unfortunately I can't vote because I couldn't finish on time.

Btw, I died on the 28th day xD

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

That Dangerous Bridge by Shackhal 2014-12-09T23:10:00

Thanks everyone for the comments! I'm glad that you like the game!

I would love to add some more challenge variations, but the time was there as always. I hope to add some more on the future xD

That Dangerous Bridge by Shackhal 2014-12-13T02:46:00

@KudukuForgiveUs
Thanks for check my game. I'm glad you like it.

The pause screen failure only occurs on the web version. I must check a solution about that.

Also I prefer using the "X" button, because for 2 things:

1. The "X" button is a bit more further to the arrows keys and more close to your initial position of your arm, so it a bit more comfortable to the user.
2. It's more personal. Sometimes the space button cause some bugs with the control. It happened with a game I made before. I don't know why.

About the rest, I will check it.

Rome's Little Step by Tuba 2014-12-11T22:59:00

I like the sound effects (your voice, right?) and gameplay. Also the graphics are very simple, but they do their job.

The game still have some control bugs, no idea how they happen.

Overall, I like it :)

Leaving by My Sweet Whomp 2014-12-22T00:46:00

Cool graphics and animations, nice music and good gameplay.

Overall, I love this game :D

Weaponrise by GibTreaty 2014-12-12T22:50:00

I like the music and the timed bomb. It's a very used concept, but it works. Still, it's very hard since the first wave.

Overall, I like it :)

Bluman by Luis Anton 2014-12-15T23:50:00

Damn, I can't pass the where you must jump between 2 lava holes. It's too far away xD

The sound effects are great and the gameplay is good. Only the controls a re not so responsive as they should be in this kind of game.

Overall, I like it :)

Press i for inventory by mr_tag 2014-12-09T18:41:00

The graphics and the concept are great. But it soundless and the GUI and item attachment system need some improvements, like to detect where the things are going.

Also, after some time, my character becomes immortal. He didn't recieve any damage at all xD

Anyway, I had fun with it xD

Super Snow Girl by Christina Antoinette Neofotistou 2014-12-12T02:19:00

I like the "Scott Pilgrim" graphics style and animation. Also, the attacks are cool and the music is great.

It's bad that is unfinished, because I wanted to play it until the end.

Overall, I like the game :)

SideLands by MoltenMustafa 2014-12-12T22:16:00

Simple gameplay for an awesome game. Also, lovely graphics.
I would like to have more rooms to play.

Overall, I love it :D

Final Swap by blackmagic 2014-12-22T01:26:00

Awesome entry! The graphics are really great, the gameplay is really smart and the music...is now part of my music gallery xD

Overall, one of the best entries so far xD

Galvatross by ShuddaHaddaLottaFun 2014-12-11T01:00:00

I like the graphics, intro music and concept idea. Still, I don't understand very well how to kill those enemies. I guess is by colliding with the teleport move, but sometimes I died for doing that.

Also when you lose a life, if an enemy is there in the spawning point, you lose another life.

Overall, the game is good, but needs some improvements.

Complete The Ludum by bakudas 2014-12-12T04:30:00

The game have a nice concept and audio. Still, it's hard and the player moves too fast.

Overall, it's good enough :)

Yuki and Snow by Raiyumi 2014-12-13T03:54:00

Really great entry! Nice and relaxing music, awesome pixel art and cool game design (even if the puzzles were very confusing).

Overall, I have to say it's one of the best games so far xD

Sunshine Apartments by Alan Masimba Walker 2014-12-09T20:37:00

I understand the concept but I don't know how to satisfy my clients!!! That's really bad. And it's soundless. But the graphics are really cute.

So my advice is to add a way to explain the gameplay, like a tutorial. And add some sounds and music. After that, the game could be good.

Kerfuffle by rabbit 2014-12-12T21:56:00

It's a fun multiplayer game. Simple concept, lovely graphics, cool music. Also, nice way to put the time running out. I would love to play this game with a friend.

Overall, I like it :)

Mobius Dungeon by nesis 2014-12-12T04:43:00

Great use of the theme and innovative idea. Also, it was fun to play with the mechanics to solve the puzzles.

I would loved if it have some audio, but well the time was there as always xD

Overall, I love it :D

Attack of the Screen Scrollers by drludos 2014-12-11T19:46:00

Nice concept idea, easy to learn and difficult to master. Also, simple graphics works better than expected.

Overall, I like it :)

PD: By the way, my game already have a jump button since the beginning. It's the "X" button xD

Backlash by uniquecorn 2014-12-12T23:39:00

Unfortunately I don't have someone with me to play it, but still, I like the concept idea and the logo. The bots' graphics looks good, but they are fuzzy for scaling the window. Check that.

Overall, I like it :)

0000 : Press Z by alvarop 2014-12-12T01:43:00

Nice entry! Solid gameplay, responsive controls and the graphics are easy to identify. I have fun with it. But I would like to have some music.

Overall, I like the game :)

DotKeeper by Fera 2014-12-12T22:44:00

I like the concept idea and his progressive difficulty. Still, I would like it to be more eye-catching and friendly. And a better sound xD.

Overall, I like it :)

Nooo Bath Time!!! by Gabbmonkey 2014-12-10T02:07:00

The graphics are simple yet cute. Also the concept idea is good enough (poop to save your...unpurity?? xD) and the controls are very responsive.

But the music is very creepy to be a "bath time". Also I find the poop "jump" to be "unproductive" sometimes.

Overall, I like the game :)

HexaPong by fancypants 2014-12-11T21:15:00

Simple gameplay mechanics and controls, correct graphics and good audio. This game is a solid entry. The only annoying thing is to press "R" to restart. It would be faster to just press Space xD

Overall, I like this entry :)

Break The Screen by xerohuang 2014-12-12T22:33:00

I like the concept. Also, cool way to finish the game hahaha.

Overall, I like it :)

Vertical Defence by zanenga 2014-12-12T23:46:00

Cool entry. The concept is easy to understand and the music is good. Still, the difficulty curve escalate very quick and you lost control of it.

Overall, I like it :)

SUPER MOW LAWNER by AMT 2014-12-12T22:58:00

Damn, I always did horribly. Nice concept and music. And it move forward too fast or move backwards too slow. I don't know xD

Overall, I like it xD

Valhalla by snickersnacks 2014-12-11T20:31:00

I like the concept to run a drink bar, nice music and great fun. I played it until the end.

The graphics could improve and have some variations, like some fights you must stop.

Overall, I like it :)

Frankfurt Ludum Dare Venue - Keeper by gladers 2014-12-09T22:48:00

Good graphics and music. Very simple and used gameplay, still the controls are responsive, so it's good.

But it needs to make some fixes: the "bullet"'s collisions need some adjustments, the skeletons statues are annoying and the enemies, in their "big" forms are too big for the scenario.

Overall, it's a good game but need some changes to be better.

The Second Thought or Please, Don't Touch Anything by Four Quarters 2014-12-10T03:12:00

This game is so awesome!!! Nice graphics, great soundtrack, cool design and gameplay.

The only help I needed was the I II III panel. After that, I got the trick and after some time, I got all the endings!

Overall, I must to say that this is one of the best games. Congrats!

Boom Blade Battle Brigade by Riocide 2014-12-12T22:07:00

I don;t have someone to play with me, but still I test it. Cool graphics and music. And the bombs been used as a way to push seems interesting.

Overall, I like it :)

Slope Challenge³ by Interface 2014-12-16T00:04:00

The game have a nice music, it goes with the gameplay. About the gameplay, I was confused at first, but clicking there (like a desperate person xD) solve that.

One problem I found could be the way to choose your obstacle type. It's very slow to do that. Also it was fun at the beginning but I lost interest on it very fast.

Overall, it's an acceptable game, only it need some fixes :|

Chin Chan Chow! by Fuchter 2014-12-09T20:22:00

It was fun. Choosing my stand before attack, trying to fool the opponent and win the round. Also, the voices and music are great!

Overall, it's a good game.

2.5Dino Arena by loopinlouie 2014-12-16T01:21:00

The gameplay is used but works and the graphics assets are easy to identify, even if they need a lot of polish. The music you chose is good.

One drawback is the arena design. Some places blocks your view. Also, I don't find a useful use to the jetpack. The jump is useful enough.

Overall, is an good entry :)

Nanaina by Steffan 'Ruirize' James 2014-12-09T23:04:00

The game is good and the "room" randomness system, even if needs some improvements, is great.

Still, the graphics are simple (including the character, who looks as the one in Minecraft), the double jump is annoying and sometimes you get trapped on a room because the way out is just too small to enter there (that's one of the improvements to the room system).

Overall, it's good for me :)

Sector 82 by Wayward 2014-12-27T18:46:00

Very interesting entry! Good story combinations and replayability.

Overall, I like it :)

Orbit Jumper by Luminar 2014-12-09T23:21:00

The concept idea is good, the controls are confusing yet responsive and the physics do his job. Still, it need some improvements on the graphics and the physics. And needs to have audio.

Overall, it could be a better game.

Lord Of the Dungeon by ctuelho 2014-12-12T04:16:00

I like the graphics and animations. Also the controls do their job. The game doesn't have innovation at all, but is enjoyable.

Also, I don't hear anything at all, so I guess it's soundless. Better uncheck the audio rating.

Overall, I have fun with it :)

Cam16 by GhostBomb 2014-12-15T23:08:00

Alright, I beat the game. Dancing in the surveillance room!

Nice player animations, cool concept and clever use of the theme. I would like to have some sounds on my ears, but it was fun.

Overall, I like it :)

Sweet Dreams Bear by EvanEGibbs 2014-12-15T23:19:00

Good story, bro. Good story.

The graphics and animations are great. The gameplay have a nice flow with it and the background is useful. Also the music goes well with the gameplay.

Overall, I love the game :D

I Can See Everything by Deranes 2014-12-09T18:23:00

Simple graphics and soundless, but it have a good use of the screen and the map is well designed but some of them are annoying.

Overall, I like it :)

First of Many by Anikki 2014-12-16T02:46:00

Very good game, Sim City style in a low graphic settings. Love the gameplay and the basic procedural generation of this game.

There are some problems by the way. The game depends too much of the curious spot and treasures to get the stone and iron to build the buildings to get more of those resources. And it needs a better game balance. And relaxing music.

Overall, I love this game :D

Screencap'd by Avant-Marde 2014-12-12T23:25:00

Lovely entry! Why? Because it have a lovely creature, lovely graphics, lovely music and sounds and cool (and lovely) mechanics.

Overall, I love this game :D

Quiet Life by VDZ 2014-12-15T22:44:00

Damn, I died again.

The concept is used but it works here. I like the crafting system, even if it take me some time to learn it.

It could be great to improve the graphics assets and add some music, right? Also, increasing the map, more environments, adding dangerous creatures and more crafting options could be awesome.

Overall, I like it :)

Blockade by TheGreenTie 2014-12-12T04:23:00

Hahahaha that was hilarious!! Nice concept and audio. And the ads are so annoying!!!

I like it :)

Space Cargo by Skoggy 2014-12-09T18:12:00

The gameplay is simple yet annoying until you catch it up, especially the controls. But I like the graphics and music.
Also, the GUI works well and looks good.

Overall, is a good game :)

Nap Quest by sanojian 2014-12-12T22:39:00

Save the princess? It's a whore!! Rats. I hate rats!! Ancient Sword? It's rusty!! Easy kill? What's this? CoD?

Fuck that shit, I'm going to bed!

Hahahaha Cool entry :)

Witchcraft by Ellian 2014-12-12T23:09:00

Nice concept, awesome pixel art, cool music and nice difficulty curve. I love this entry :)

LD33 — You are the Monster

Exogorth by Will Edwards 2015-08-26T04:30:00

The controls are very difficult to control and the gameplay is very simple and a bit dull. Still, the graphics looks great and the music helps to keep the mood high.

Overall, the game passes.

I AM THE SUN by primaerfunktion 2015-08-30T01:31:00

The game have nice graphics with a nice aesthetic focus. The music is jagged, but it doesn't feel annoying.

But the camera doesn't help too much with the action and I don't have any idea to how it ends. Maybe the bird gives you a hint of that.

Overall, the game passes.

Monster Pizza by dalbinblue 2015-08-26T19:32:00

Nice art and game design. You need to move around the city carefully but fast. It was fun and I always like the idea to be a good monster. The controls are nice too.

At first I didn't know where the delivery area was after I follow the arrows. I didn't notice the square marks.

Overall, is a very good game. Well done.

On the Growth of Ludum Dare and the Selection of Themes by Crowbeak 2015-08-25T23:37:00

Refreshing game. I can only thinks that the theme is referring as the one who plays the game. After all, we are the monsters who choose the theme hahaha.

Of course, the graphics are below average, but you don't care about that, right? Anyways, it was fun. I only rage you to 6 on the second play. First was 1. After all, I'm a veteran too xD

Overall, the game passes.

Elemental Monster by Zampi 2015-08-29T07:08:00

The game looks great. Very simple and easy to understand.

But, there is a problem with the HUD. I expected to rotate the "element circle" with the WASD, but not to press the correct button. I get that in the second try. But anyway, the HUD must be changed to support that idea.

Overall, the game passes.

Edge of Grey by MinionStudios 2015-08-27T05:58:00

Ok, a game with the Dark Souls game style. I get it. It's popular. The graphics are dark and crude. I like it. It gives a nice gloomy mood. And the music helps too.

But the combat are all over the place. I died fighting the first enemy trying to click fast the attack button. And the roll didn't work...Also the animations are super slow where the game needs to be fast as the player's reactions. So I couldn't explore more of the game. I only guess there are puzzles in the game.

Overall, the game passes. But it needs fixes.

A Long Night by guoboism 2015-08-30T05:18:00

It have a nice ambient and good puzzle scheming. The graphics are simple but effective on the game. And it's fun.

It doesn't have music, but the correct one could be wonderful.

Overall, the game passes.

Loveless : a multiplayer story by Mark Venturelli 2015-08-27T01:17:00

Superb adventure game. Short, but with a depth story. The graphics are great, different from the other games. The music is awesome and helps to make the mood heavy and glommy. And the multiplayer feature keep the mystery until the end.

I can't wait for the answer of the others xD

Overall, it's a very good game. Well done.

Archaeologist Invasion by Ixeno 2015-08-26T07:54:00

I like the graphics and the game idea, where you are the guardian and need to be smart to create your "traps". Also, the camera moving to the pyramid is a nice touch.

But there's no audio that can helps with the mood and get me on the nerves to move so slow, even when I know the mommies moves slow. Also, after putting some walls I stop create them. I don't know why...

Overall, the game passes. Good work.

The SPLURGE! by 4KbShort 2015-08-26T20:47:00

The gameplay is simple and I like the idea of the vents to move around and hide. The graphics are good and the music helps the mood.

But I can't finish the game because I can't jump. Maybe is the collision with the floor that stop me from doing jumps.

Overall, the game passes.

Hero Mate by Lancelot Gao 2015-08-26T19:01:00

The game is well executed. Cool level design, nice graphics and sound. And the controls are very responsive. One thing I notice is the annoying "hero" that want to splash every single mob, so he goes backwards, ruining the run. Also, the "adeventure" at the end xD

Overall, is a very good game. Well done.

Cel by Alexbrainbox 2015-08-29T03:45:00

Nice puzzle. Knowing that a big puzzle is difficult to the most of us, you added a score, making it attractive to replay. The game is fun, with a great puzzle mechanic and relaxing music.

But even if it's a jam entry, not using the theme is still bad.

Overall, the game passes.

Mr. Yeti's Fast Food by Balzaque 2015-08-25T07:50:00

Awesome and smooth graphics, good music and great gameplay. Also it have a leaderboard! Cool.

And puts a new gear to that old game that everyone remember. Ah, the nostalgia...

Overall, an excellent game. Good job.

Virion Alpha by Bloodyaugust 2015-08-25T05:39:00

I like the mechanics and it's easy to control. The gameplay is there, but it still required polish. Also, it's impossible to lose. Check that part and the game will get potentially challenging.

Overall, the game passes.

Crazy Monster Drivers by shimage 2015-08-27T00:01:00

I like the idea of the monsters defying the gravity. Also using non-aerial vehicles xD The graphics are acceptable and the music is great. It was short, but fun.

Also I notice that the bicycle is, ironically, the fastest vehicle. Weird...

Overall, the game passes.

Internship Adventure by dancingmad 2015-08-27T20:57:00

Great game. An internship monster doing his job, nice idea! The graphics are great, the music is very cool, it have humor and all of that gives a great mood.

The only part I didn't like is the boss's speech. It's slow, specially during encounters.

But it's fun.

Overall, is a very good game. Well done.

Oko Furia by Tselmek 2015-08-27T06:17:00

The gameplay is very good. Simple and solid. The graphics have a nice harmony, except the game over screen. It disrupts the flow. The music and the sounds are very good. The best are the screams xD

Overall, is a very good game. Well done.

KAIJU TYCOON by NoWandStudios 2015-08-27T03:09:00

Sending Kaijus to do the dirty job is great. The little details on the screen are nice, like the cat and the mini-kaiju xD And the music is cool.

But it could be nice to have more ways to customize your kaiju, like leveling up and stuff.

Overall, the game passes.

The Old One by Chris Olsen 2015-08-28T00:29:00

Great game. The graphics are amazing, very fun to play, the music gives a little bit of humor and it keeps the mood tense.

Overall, it's a very good game. Well done.

Sly Slime - Revenge On All Players by reckhou 2015-08-26T04:14:00

The slime wants his revenge. Nice idea. In RPG games, the slime is considered the weakest of the enemies. Really maybe that's not the case.

I like the option to play as a stealth or as a berserk player. The graphics are nice: voxel style including the color effect. Looks awesome with the monotone palette. And the music is good enough.

One thing I notice is the attack. It was make to prefer the stealth style. Also, the intro was super great!... until the title screen appears. It kills the mood a lot.

Overall, it's a very good game. Well done guys.

The Monster in Man by Reallysketchy 2015-08-29T02:54:00

Well...

The only things I can only say that, except the graphics and sound, in the last level I can't kill the last of them. It seems he become immortal. And the only ways to kill the civilians and enemies is 2 ways: Or corner them and blast them all or be a super damn sniper and hit them in the "eye". We fire bomb, so they need to die against them, not to be pushed.

Overall, the game is regular. It needs to add graphics and sound assets and fixes stuff. But making a game in 14 hours is a great feast.

The Hosts by Warxen 2015-08-26T20:12:00

The mechanics are simple and well designed. The 3D is good, but without texture (unless you wanted that way). No music but there's acceptable audio.

It could be great that the gunner moves to a better position when you are under cover. It gives more combat complexity and it's better than be a "crazy turret".

Also, it could be awesome if you can possess more than one per level. And the one possessed before becomes normal after that. It could gives more depth on game and level design.

Overall, the game passes. It was fun :)

Monster of the Labyrinth by J3X 2015-08-30T07:11:00

Interesting entry. Great mix of graphics and the music helps the somber mood. It fun to look the exit, while I evade the green skeletons.

But I have to say that the text annoying me a bit. It's hard to read it.

Overall, the game passes.

Wolfsbane by WolvesbaneTeam 2015-08-28T04:00:00

This game...I don't know. I fell frustrated.

The first reason for it is because I can't kill the first werewolf. Those bolts don't goes far away from me, except a very few ones. And the "try to shoot more emphatically" solution just make me run out of bolts before they kill me. So that's not a solution...I guess the player's collision blocks them to go further. Check it.

The second reason is that I have to close the game to restart it. Already did it like 7 times.

Well, the graphics are nice. But there're no animations. Sad...it could be gorgeous with those graphics. The music goes well with the mood, giving a bit of suspense to the player. But, apart of the sucking skill, there's nothing new.

Needs some fixes, like those I write above. And the werewolf's strength. Overpowered. And if the strength of them is a must, then control the numbers of them. 2 of them at the beginning is too hard to fight, including the "bolts shooting" problem.

Overall, the game is regular. Check those problems.

The game is well executed. Fun, interesting plot of the irresponsible postman, and the graphics are good. But the music is jarring. I only guess that is the PICO-8's fault.

Overall, is a very good game. Well done.

The game is fun and the controls are easy to use. And the sound was also enough. But it lacks of music. It could great with "heroic" music. Also, the graphics could be better, specially the boss.

But as I said at the beginning, it was fun. Killing "heroes" with my attacks was great.

Overall, the game passes.
