LD38 — A Small World

iii by YukonW 2017-05-10T19:29:37Z

Really love the style of your game :D And always like Metroidvenias so this is definitely one of my favorite games so far :) Congrats!

Timeless by Chaseplays 2017-05-14T15:07:48Z

Really awesome little puzzle platformer :D Loved the little pixel graphics :D Well done :)

C_NFINEMENT R__M by Tselmek 2017-05-19T14:58:09Z

Even though the game was really simple in terms of gameplay and visuals I really enjoyed it! I just really like word puzzles, solving them makes me feel smart :P I didn't get all of them but that's alright.

Calor by stevenjmiller 2017-05-19T13:46:23Z

Quite complicated at first but still nice when you get the hang of it :) Well done!

It's a Small World by GFM 2017-05-18T15:47:52Z

Really nice start, too bad you weren't able to finish it... I hope you continue work on it :)

Blomst 🌻 by Ava Skoog 2017-05-18T17:18:59Z

Really love the game :D Very well polished and quite unique! Congrats :)

Space Balls by Dejvo 2017-05-18T16:13:01Z

Really love the idea of the game. The graphics are also nice and the music was well chosen. It would be nice if the controls were a bit more responsive. At first I thought they didn't work ^^'

Little Asteroid by Wevel 2017-05-19T14:38:51Z

The gameplay is really good. With some nice visuals and polish this would become a really great game! Well done :)

Grall Axy by LooksLikeSomething 2017-05-11T19:01:07Z

Quite a cool game, really liked it :D It seemed like sometimes jumping didn't work though, the controls didn't feel perfectly responsive at all times. Luckily that didn't get in the way of it being enjoyable. Well done :)

Carefulzilla by glimaleite 2017-05-11T19:13:54Z

Love this game! One of my favorites so far :D At first I just destroyed everything haha but afterward I played again and managed to complete it without any deaths/destruction :) Congrats on making this awesome game :D

Ionnect by AkirAssasin 2017-05-17T14:07:05Z

Tried the game but didn't get it... I never got chemistry at school ^^' Still like the minimalist graphics style :)

SUPER METROARIO by puppetmaster 2017-05-15T16:12:02Z

Cool little metroidvenia! Graphics were simple but effective. Well done :)

Cathode Way by garethiw 2017-05-19T16:58:57Z

Absolutely loved everything about this game :D Really nothing else to say. I'd really like to play more of this!

Llama's World by fancy89 2017-05-10T19:47:11Z

Really well made puzzle game. I really like the voxel graphics! Only thing I found a bit confusing were the arrows to move the tiles around, I would find it more logical if they would point in the opposite direction. Apart from that I really enjoyed the game :) Congrats to all of you!

Pixlets by MaggardJosh 2017-05-18T22:26:04Z

This is the game I played the longest so far :) It's really fun and I always wanted to know what the next type of egg would be :) Really liked the visuals and music. Awesome work!

Planet Desumaton by SiegfriedCroes 2017-05-07T14:59:57Z

@spinaljack Thanks a lot! Also for being the first to play/comment.

@giri Thanks!

@those-30-ninjas Thank you very much! Really glad you liked the art and faces. I thought about adding screen wrapping but it was a bit too difficult to implement in the short amount of time I had left. Would definitely be something to think about if I continue work on the game.

@fangzhangmnm Aww thank you so much for saying so!

@valicitor Thank you very much! Yeah, I really should've added a health bar but I ran out of time... Put too much time in less important details like the face, silly me...

@yukonw Thanks a lot! Yeah, some more interesting behavior would be nice but I have little experience with enemy AI so this is all I could do within the time I had.

@badscotsman Thank you very much for the nice words!

@jane-pr Thank you! I'm definitely thinking about turning it into a full game some day.

@th-alien Thanks! I made it a bit difficult so it takes some time and exercise to beat the otherwise really short game.

@redpanda Thank you very much! Really glad you liked the pixel art. You should give it another try!

@itzhak-w Thanks! Yeah, should've really added one...

@izunah Thanks a lot! Really happy you like it. I tried it and you're right, about that minor bug. Thanks for reporting! Nice to hear you game back and were able to beat the game, congrats!

@la-mecanique-du-plastique Thank you!

@xavier-indie-gamedev Thank you so much! I had a lot of different ideas while making the game. I thought of having multiple enemies but I had some trouble with writing simple but effective AI so in the end I decided to make the whole game a boss battle. I also ran out of time for sound... I will definitely check out your game.

@appix Thank you! Glad you think it's special. Hope you'll give it another try.

@lookslikesomething Thanks! Please try again.

@la-mecanique-du-plastique Thanks a lot! I really wish I could've added sound but I ran out of time... Glad you enjoyed it anyway.

@glimaleite Thanks! Really glad you like the mechanic, I'm quite proud of coming up with it myself. I Always go for the Jam so I have some extra time.

@nimbus Thank you so much for the nice comment! So glad you liked all of it. Your suggestions are also the main things I would've liked to be included.

@kr4ft3r Thank you! The AI is really simple but glad you like it anyway. That is definitely a good tip.

@sapoi Thanks a lot!

@docgeraud Thanks! It's all about adding faces.

@samlo Thank you very much! You're definitely right about the health, for most people that's the main thing that's missing.

@silkworm-sweatshop Thank you very much!

@chloravirgo Thanks! Happy to hear you liked all of it.

@takusan Thank you! Nice to hear you liked the mechanic, I'm quite happy about how it turned out too. And yeah, a health bar would've been nice.

@hekst Thank you! I wanted to keep the background simple but still cool so I worked with 3 layers of stars to add some depth. Glad someone noticed/liked it.

@chaseplays Thank you very much for the extensive feedback! The boss is always there, he's just higher up on the map so before you start the battle you can try out the controls a bit. So nice to hear you think my game has some of the nicest visuals! That really means a lot! I wouldn've loved to add audio but sadly I ran out of time...

@harusame Thank you very much! Really glad you liked everything. I used Bfxr for my previous games but for this game I just ran out of time...

@matita Thanks a lot of the nice comment! At first I wanted to make multiple enemies but I was having some trouble with AI so in the end I chose for the game to be a boss battle.

@yami-no-tenshi-8 Thank you very much! Glad you liked the way the Earth health was shown, I would've added a health bar if I didn't run out of time. Yes, I totally went for no sound because of that! Haha, seriously though I just ran out of time for that too...

@articulated9 Thank you! Yes, I really wish I could've added sound. Some more variety in attacks would've been cool too.

@puppetmaster Thanks a lot!

Planet Desumaton by SiegfriedCroes 2017-05-07T15:00:34Z

@meaty-mclazerpantz Thanks! Really glad you liked it. I'll sure check out your game (as I will check all games of people that have commented).

@akirassasin Thanks! Oh yeah, seeing your grabbing range would've been nice.

@sun-wukong Thank you very much. Glad you were able to find my game back. Someone else commented that it would help if you moved a bit slower so it's easier to avoid asteroids.

@filogc Thanks a lot!

@bart-huylebroeck Thank you! Glad you loved most of it.

@gfm Thank so much! Really happy to see someone appreciating all the tiny details in the graphics! You're totally right about the camera.

@remicy Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it and congrats on beating it!

@dejvo Thanks! It's definitely possible.

@mrerdalural Thank you too for playing and leaving a nice comment!

@renatopp Thank you very much! Glad to see you like most of the game. I didn't really think about the speed of the player that much but you're actually right, thanks for pointing that out.

@nuebomundo Thanks a lot! With all the nice feedback I got I'm definitely thinking of expanding it into a full game.

@ava-skoog Thank you very much for the extensive feedback! Really happy you loved the graphics so much. I agree with your criticism and will definitely take it into account if I continue work on the game. Thanks for reporting the bug, I'll fix it.

@gurkenlabs Thanks a lot! I really like your idea for a second interaction with the asteroids!

@norrimo Thanks! The end boss would be a planet bigger than your screen, haha!

@maggardjosh Thank you! Congrats on beating the game.

@stevenjmiller Thank you very much! Means a lot you think it's the best use of the theme so far. Congrats on beating the game!

@mikea Thanks! I'd sure like to continue work on it though I don't know if I'd make it for mobile. We'll see.

@citsua Thank you! Glad you liked the orbiting asteroid animation. Hope you try again.

@thunraz Thanks a lot! Nice to hear you think my planet is the cutest. I would've added sound if I didn't run out of time...

@adamd Thank you very much! I'm definitely thinking about turning it into a bigger game.

@wevel Thank you! Yeah I've noticed the problem with asteroids being to close together, just didn't know how to easily fix it so I left it that way.

@invader Thanks! Really glad you like the mechanic.

@tselmek Thanks a lot! So nice to hear you think it's unique. The face of the planet is the clue even though if I continue work on it I will add a player health bar. I would've added sound if I didn't run out of time.

@zorg Thanks for your comment! Grabbing radius is definitely something I'd tweak, also a way to see what the grabbing radius is. Hope you'll try again later.

@pmarincak Thank you very much! I hope different is good.

The Adventure of Malvin by NOFUEL 2017-05-19T16:06:07Z

Absolutely love this game. Already knew I'd like it by seeing the screenshots ;) I really like the pixel art graphics and the game just felt great to play. Reminded me of Mario with the 2nd level being underground and the way you had to kill the boss at the end ;)

All in all a fantastic entry! Well done :)

Hibernaculum by redpanda 2017-05-10T20:04:14Z

The graphics are really beautiful but I found the gameplay a bit lacking... I didn't find the rotating of the globe that intuitive. The controls were also a bit glitchy. I was stuck when I collected the 3 items and had to fill in my answer. I just wasn't able to type something...

It does have potential and I hope you continue work on it :)

GALAXEN by mrerdalural 2017-05-18T16:28:18Z

Always love exploration so even if there wasn't much to do in the game I still enjoyed my time with it. Well done :)

Astromike by mikea 2017-05-19T14:05:37Z

Best visuals and overall polish I've seen so far! Really well done :) I found it funny that when you die you an still move around for a while with the dead body ;)

Dreamers World by applejam 2017-05-18T15:00:28Z

Really liked the visuals :D It would've been nice if there was a score counter so at least you know how well you're doing. Still, very well done :)

Petit Adventure by Sun-Wukong 2017-05-17T14:19:00Z

It's definitely really ambitious to try and make an RPG for Ludum Dare. Still it's really well done, especially the graphics :D Haven't been able to complete it yet though ^^' I'll give it another go later :)

Gangster Duell by NORRIMO 2017-05-18T22:07:25Z

Fun little game :) I kind of cheated by pressing S repeatedly :P

One Push Man by harusame 2017-05-14T15:17:25Z

Really well made little game :) The pixel art graphics are really well done. I fell off a few times while trying to push of an enemy ^^'

TARJECTORIES by csanyk 2017-05-19T16:29:04Z

Probably the most basic graphics I've seen yet but that didn't matter at all cause the game was really fun to play. I made it to Level 10 but then shot myself :P One thing I didn't understand was the timer, even when it reaches I could still continue playing... Anyway, you did a great job! Congrats :)

Lab 493 by Remicy 2017-05-18T15:50:58Z

I wanted to play and judge your game because you played/judged mine but like feips said it gives an error. Please fix it.

The Spoiled Prince by silkworm_sweatshop 2017-05-14T14:39:17Z

Really nice gameplay and visuals :) Quite challenging too, I gave up in the chicken level ^^'

COSMOMOMOMOº by NueboMundo 2017-05-18T16:53:20Z

I really liked the game! Only thing that would make it better and easier to play is if you could see if a ball is in front or behind the sphere ;)

Drifting away by Nimbus 2017-05-11T19:20:25Z

Simple but quite challenging. Even though it could use some polish it's still a great first Ludum Dare entry. You can be proud of yourself :)

The Robot's Trial by citsua 2017-05-19T14:33:13Z

Really cool game :) I liked how you got a little story in it and with the upgrades it was a bit like a Metroidvenia. It took me a while to get to the island cause I thought I had to use the jetpack to get there.

All in all it was really well done :) Congrats!

Naughty Gnomes by gurkenlabs 2017-05-18T21:47:29Z

It seemed like a nice game to play but for me it ran too slow... I'm using a Surface Pro 4 btw. Maybe it's because it has trouble rendering the game at machines native resolution (2736x1824). Maybe a windowed mode would help. I only have it with this game, other games (made with Unity for example) have no issues.

The Z Axis by Meaty McLazerPantz 2017-05-17T13:59:59Z

Really cool gameplay mechanic :) Reminded me a bit of "And Yet It Moves" though your game still had its own style. Well done!

rotasi by giri 2017-05-09T20:01:14Z

Not really a game but I still quite liked it! Well done :)

Twin Jet Miner by invader 2017-05-19T14:45:40Z

Fun little game that is more difficult than it seems. Well done :)

No Minor Task: Party of a Lifetime by XAVIER_INDIE_GAMEDEV 2017-05-11T18:48:01Z

Fun in a way but also very chaotic! Wasn't able to finish the first level... I might try again later :)

Lead the Ants by matita 2017-05-14T16:23:16Z

Very simplistic but still fun :) Well done :)

Small Board by renatopp 2017-05-18T16:40:01Z

Quite liked it. I didn't feel like reading the rules so I tried figuring it out on my own and it was easy to understand :) Is the health of the players already implemented? Cause I didn't notice the enemies attacking or doing any damage.

Anyway, you did a good job, congrats!

Mind The Gap (First Ludum Dare) by Izunah 2017-05-11T18:30:59Z

At first I didn't really know what to do but after reading the instructions more carefully I understood and it was quite fun and really challenging! Definitely a good prototype for a full game :) Well done!

A World in a Shoebox... by Articulated9 2017-05-14T16:56:32Z

It's a good start though like you say it's a bit of a mess... You could continue work on it though :)

Monolith by samlo 2017-05-11T19:54:27Z

Love the art style of this game :D It felt really polished. The gameplay was simple yet fun and challenging. Well done :)

Brainstorm 38 by DocGeraud 2017-05-11T19:42:01Z

Really love everything about this game :D Even though it got quite difficult in later levels, it was still a lot of fun to play. Really loved the graphics. You did an excellent job!

The Last Colony by hekst 2017-05-14T14:55:23Z

I liked the game idea though the controls were a bit complicated to me. I don't know for sure but maybe it would work better if you'd select the docking station you want to operate with the arrow keys and always use the same buttons for thrust in/out and dock.

Down the Rabbit Hole by those-30-ninjas 2017-05-09T20:17:03Z

Really well made puzzle game! Really liked the Game Boy style graphics and audio :D It would've been even better if the pixel art was 100% pixel perfect but that's just a detail that probably only I notice :P Anyway, you did a fantastic job so congrats!

Place Them All by Yami no tenshi 8 2017-05-14T16:37:45Z

Well made game but I seem to be really bad at it ^^'

Strangeness by philomory 2017-05-19T16:19:20Z

Nice little puzzle game :) The gameplay and mechanics reminded me of those in old DOS games. Well done :)

Aliens vs Rng by Valicitor 2017-05-10T19:20:03Z

Cool idea but would've been a lot better with more content. It's a great start though so well done :)

Cartography by Zorg 2017-05-19T15:19:41Z

Really cool game! Kept playing till I finished it. Quite liked the minimalist style. Well done :)

Ascension: A God's Test by MatHype 2017-05-19T15:52:18Z

The game is very well made even though it could use some more polish here and there. I liked the inclusion of voice acting (haven't seen that in any other LD game I played). Congrats to all of you :)

More than a Pixel by CAREFACE 2017-05-19T16:40:07Z

Really cool retro style game :D Would sure be cool if you continued work on it :)

Slightly Angry Max by Takusan 2017-05-14T14:48:19Z

Nice game :) Really nicely polished. No remarks at all, well done :)

Go with the Flow by Bart Huylebroeck 2017-05-17T14:38:34Z

Really nice water flow effect :D I'd like some more challenge with objects that kill you ;) Still well done :)

Clean the Dorm by fangzhangmnm 2017-05-09T20:37:59Z

5 stars for graphics cause I absolutely love the mix of photos and 3D models :D Apart from that it would've been nice if the controls (especially the jumping) were less floaty. Either way this is a really great entry! Well done :)

Elf's Conquest by 0ctopuce 2017-05-10T19:40:00Z

Really like the graphics, especially the animations! Though having such nice graphics it's too bad there isn't a shooting animation for the player and no dead animation for the enemies. I got stuck in the place where enemies came at me from both directions. I killed them all but then I couldn't do anything, was that the end?

All in all a fine entry, well done :)

RASHLANDER by ryguydavis 2017-05-03T14:30:06Z

Absolutely love the style of your game :smiley: Well done :slight_smile:

SMALL WORLD of LOVER by appix 2017-05-11T18:53:32Z

Very simple game but still fun. I like the simplistic pixel graphics :) Well done!

Amoebros by Spinaljack 2017-05-09T19:51:18Z

I didn't understand the gameplay that well but the game itself was well made. I liked the zoom effect ;) Good job!

Natural Killer Prototype by kr4ft3r 2017-05-11T19:32:05Z

A bit too complicated for me but it was still an awesome audiovisual experience :D

Den by La mecanique du plastique 2017-05-11T18:40:42Z

Really liked the graphics and sounds. The gameplay was also nice but the controls weren't the best. You still did a very nice job :)

Becky's very very Small and TOTALLY not mundane World by pmarincak 2017-05-19T15:37:28Z

Fun little game :) Really liked the graphics and the audio fitted well. The few criticisms I had have been pointed out by others already so no need to repeat those :)

Crumble Crust by Itzhak W 2017-05-10T19:53:28Z

One of my favorite games so far :D Really original and very well polished! Congrats to the whole team :)

LD39 — Running out of Power

Power Crisis by Gulyasarni66 2017-08-10T17:39:26Z

Nice little game :smile: Really feels like a retro game! Not only because of the visuals and audio but also the difficulty :wink: Well done!

The Music Box by DDRKirbyISQ 2017-08-15T11:21:58Z

Absolutely love everything about this game! It's short but so nicely polished! The graphical style is beautiful, the audio fits perfectly and the little story is really fun and original. Congrats to the whole team :smile:

Running the Marathon by gamepopper 2017-08-06T16:05:02Z

Really fun little game :) I walked exactly 2018m and then gave up ^^'

Buddies Bad Day by elit3dgaming 2017-08-06T15:29:25Z

Short and simple but fun. Would sure be nice if you'd continue work on it and implement the mechanics you had in mind :)

Space Dog by Thygrrr 2017-08-10T18:06:44Z

One of my favorite games so far :D Really well polished overall. Congrats to the whole team :smile:

ZapDune by diptoman 2017-08-07T18:03:18Z

Saw your post about it on the main page and just had to give it a try! Absolutely love the pixel art graphics! :slight_smile: The gameplay mechanics are also really nice and polished. All in all a fantastic entry, congrats! :smiley:

p o w e r ARM by xand 2017-08-06T16:51:56Z

I liked the graphics and audio. I found it to be a lot of text at the beginning and also a bit repetitive at first with all the doors you have to open. The controls weren't the best, mainly using enter to skip dialog. Apart from that it was a nice game, well done :)

Power, MT by PhilStrahl 2017-08-15T12:21:53Z

Really interesting game! Loved the music and mood. It's really well written too! Congrats :smile:

PowerMan by C0nst4ntin 2017-08-15T11:54:08Z

Fun little game :slight_smile: Killing enemies seemed useless though as they don't give any reward. Still, well done!

Hypersquare by klekky 2017-08-15T12:51:31Z

Very challenging game. Too bad there wasn't any audio... The graphics could also use some work to make it all more interesting. Still, it played really well and smooth so well done :slight_slime:

Last Shine by Fran Segura 2017-08-10T18:16:10Z

Really like the style, audio and gameplay! Some more attack variety would've been nice but It's totally understandable for a LD game :slight_smile: I also loved the ending :wink: Well done, all of you!

Sunseeker by Surovyi 2017-08-06T15:45:08Z

Cool setting and take on the theme! Though like others have said, it's quite difficult and at times it's hard to attack. Still a very solid entry so congrats :)

The Light City of Karola by davidcollado 2017-08-07T18:11:07Z

I really love this game! It's really polished in every way. It was also quite challenging but still a lot of fun. The only thing I didn't like was that it wasn't 100% pixel perfect but that's just me :wink:

Floppyboy by Dariusa 2017-08-15T13:10:13Z

Very silly adventure game, I really liked it haha :yum: Too bad you didn't use the theme though... Still well done :slight_smile:

Automated Explorer by Aircraft Terrier 2017-08-15T12:30:20Z

I really like the idea of the game and it's well presented when it comes to audio and visuals. I didn't finish it though as it does get a bit repetitive having to start from the same place again and again. Still, it's very well done so congrats :smile:

Light It Up by yawoada 2017-08-15T11:58:09Z

Hey, I wanted to try out your game because you tried mine too but it seems the link isn't working anymore and the game is just not on your itch.io page anymore... What happened?

Step out of the light by Zdeno 2017-08-06T16:17:00Z

Very nice presentation. Both visuals and audio are well done. The puzzles are really cool too. Well done :)

Defender of the Energy! by BesSlaaneshi 2017-08-15T11:37:04Z

Really awesome game you made here :D The I loved the intro and the overal presentation, really love the music too! Too bad sound was missing but I'm glad you added that in 1.1. I did see a small textual mistake that wasn't fixed in 1.1: The end screen says "Play agin" while is should be "Play again" :wink: Anyway, congrats to all of you :smile:

Energy Dash by Shell Pirate 2017-08-06T16:35:25Z

For some reason I can't seem to download the game... I'll try again later :)

Deep Space Nine Volts by Boxfort 2017-08-06T15:56:11Z

I liked this entry a lot even though it was really difficult. The graphics are nice and audio really fun ;) Maybe it would be nicer to have a ship layout with the charging room in the middle so it's just a bit easier to reach. Still well done :)

Dorgus Needs Power! by WillData 2017-08-15T11:47:31Z

Fun little game but like others have said before, the batteries disappear really fast which makes the game quit difficult. Still, well done :slight_smile:
