Pretty good gameplay. The title screen really got me excited. I didn't make it very far, admittedly because I'm trying to get through a lot of games, but this definitely has some potential.
The music was fun. Gameplay was great. The enemies are pretty threatening and the atmosphere lends to that. Good work overall. Pretty impressive.
jump on J, really? like, REALLY?
like the art and animation, and good music. try working a bit more on the mechanincs tho.
Cool game. Keep up the good work. I would say to fix the Title on the game to actually be the game name, as well as the You Die screen, and possibly change the text to: "You died!".
Very cool idea and style. Although not adding any functionality directly to the game, it would be neat to have the ability to move the crystals. Also, possibly improve the name system in your game for people to find the play game. (Capitalize the game name and don't have the game icon the same name as the game.(
work on the combat mechanics, there is no way to tell if you are in range to attack, and it is literarly imposible to kite and land hits without getting hit.
HUUUUUGE props for explaining the controlls tho!
also, controlls feels good.
BAD COMBAT!
good controlls.
game makes no sence, nice consept tho. but i just didnt understand what to do.
GEE that was a horror game... a warning would be nice -.-
nice consept, try to make the character walk continually while holding down a button, and add WASD support. nice sound.
I would recommend sending a link to a ZIP file to improve easy for people to download. I would consider making it so you could making space bar work as well as up for jumping. Looks neat, not entirely sure what to do.
love the music, love the art style, but the game felt like it lacked content.
also, add some text in the background in the map to tell us what to do, i didnt even see the character for a solid 30 seconds, and could not find witch buttons to press :P
but after that i had a solid 4 min of fun.
made in paint? looks neat :)
we did not get any explanation or time to figure out the mechanics so it took me a good 20 seconds just to get the hang of it, but once i understood it it was fine.
all though, i dont see how this has anything to do with ancient technology, and the game is also really repetetive, try adding more to it.
good start tho. :)
Looks good, mechanics are fun and funny; however I am unsure if you made the graphics yourself. Keep up the good work.
i gave the game a solid 10 minutes, and i did not understand it at all. i saw there was some rage, fear, etc, but the game did not explain itself at all...
all though, GREAT ART! love the pixle, and great sounds and music. the game looked, and felt good, it just didnt explain itself.
really cool art, try to make it more obvious whenever ur taking any damage, and also allow us to move in mid air. i felt locked once i jumped off the edge.
speaking of witch, id love to see jumping too :) great game
try including a version for Windows :)
Great work on the artwork. There appears to be a lot of errors with the colliders, as I think I made it to the end of the game without completing any puzzles besides the elevator floor. Awesome looking levels as well. Keep up the work!
Amazing art style and work.
I would improve the arrow positions as it seems inconsistent when moving from one area to another. This would improve for new players learning where they are oriented.
Nice work. A way to denote how much each dinosaur was would would be nice. Also a health bar would be beneficial. good work on the art and the handling of the dinosaurs.
Nice game. I would try to increase the shoot speed quite a bit to make it more of a skill based game.
If would also be an idea to make better notification to let the user know if that the arrow is ready to shoot.
Keep up the good work!
I also had problems with the camera. I would also find a way to differentiate the ladder/rope with a color that contrasts more with the background. Very good work so far!
Interesting concept. The flickering of the lights also makes the floor move, which is interesting. Not sure the entire object since the Autofill does everything for me?
Nice job on graphics and the ability to highlight objects and select them. Was not able to make it past xylophone, possibly provide a more feedback to the user for if they are on the right path.
Keep up the good work.
I am able to get into the xylophone by standing on the button and running, which breaks that aspect.
I really liked everything. Animation, art, ability to break things, damage style.
I setup the world so it looks like the invisible walls are actual walls blocking you.
For a way objective, I would look at a way to either move faster or block to make the fighting and surviving more dynamic.
Good work! keep it up.
LD38 — A Small World (51)
A giant called Frederick. by Anudin 2017-05-07T09:00:49Z ♥ 2
I respect the roast me post about wanting hard feedback and would love the same reciprocated. If you do, make sure you explain why you're being super critical, haha. So giving you critical feedback for improvements as you asked.
Screen size - the game stretches to whatever the window size it when loading the page but does not resize until you refresh. (browser itch based)
Was expecting to be able to throw people back onto Earth again.
Game seems to have an infinite state if the dead planets still produce people.
Consider adding some sort of tutorial or helper information - even just a simple arrow with a slide bend around the planet to show the giant can move. Something to help people get started.
I'm currently typing this with 1 planet empty and the others dead and my score is just going up and up. Seems easier to do nothing and wait then try?
The art style is nice, cute player, but something is still missing to really connect the art. Bold thick line on the character, thin lines on the people pins, no lines and blurriness on the planet - not too cohesive in art.
It looks like the people do not go straight up from the player. I won't complain about the difficulty of trying to get the player on another planet because that's the challenging game mechanic, but the expectation of the person throw to go straight up from the arm, not at a slight angle over your head.
For Eternity by holgk 2017-05-05T05:18:02Z ♥ 1
Nice work on the Egyptian simulator. Really impressive you were able to do this in a single game jam. I managed to run out of memory in the browser version, haha, I played for a long time. Keep up the good work!
Binary Glitch by JOrbits 2017-05-05T05:06:29Z ♥ 0
Cool game. Kind of reminded me of snake with the trail following the player. Neat concept in how the players and AI work and destroying them and the no move black squares. Good job, keep up the good work!
War of Quiz! by orquigames 2017-05-05T05:04:38Z ♥ 2
Nice game. I wasn't ready to think and learn, but I did just that. Nice funny different options for the quizzes and fun little mechanic for winning. Keep up the good work!
Batter Bros. by fanatrick 2017-05-05T04:57:26Z ♥ 0
Really fun game, wish I had a friend over to play it. A nicely graphic'd game of pong. I would consider a way to add some more interaction, seemed very simple, so maybe some added spikes or a faster ball or multiple balls so I had a lot of different things going on. It was fun, keep up the good work!
Space Balls by Dejvo 2017-05-05T04:51:42Z ♥ 2
Nice work on the audio. Interest concept and really unique getting the idea formed for being a photon that has to get to an eye. Keep up the good work!
The Dwarf Planet by keckles 2017-05-05T04:44:55Z ♥ 1
Nice work on the game! I thought I was doing really well eating and stuff, but I still lost. Really fun, nice movement an resource management. Keep up the good work!
Murder Mitosis by _for_science 2017-05-05T04:40:50Z ♥ 2
Really fun game. I was so much better than all the other players (bots). I had a great time playing it and winning! Keep up the great work. Nice look at multiplayer and AI!
Lil Planet by BladeSides 2017-05-05T04:33:48Z ♥ 3
Nice game, it was cute. The audio was a little loud, but it was a fun game, cool jumping around the little planet. Keep up the good work!
Space Ship: Andromeda by julianeder33 2017-05-05T04:30:24Z ♥ 1
Nice work on the map and scale of the game. A little long in the first corridor of the humans, but it does cover the immense number of humans by it's length. For user usage, I would consider reducing speed and movement and camera to feel like abrupt. Overall I had fun though, keep up the good work on the game!
Noizy by yves 2017-05-05T04:21:03Z ♥ 0
That was awesome. I was amazed by the circular world. Didn't even realize I could fire until I died and say that I had to fire to revive. It's that I learned I could fire, but I in the future when you continue to make this game awesome is tell the user that they can fire. Keep up the great work!
Dreamers World by applejam 2017-05-05T04:10:41Z ♥ 1
Great work on the game! It was kind of hard to see the first bubble of getting a sword with the low pixel resolution. Kind of a big switch up from the background versus the player. Nice animations and graphics on the players though. Kind of hard to read the mechanics while being killed by the shadows. Keep up the good work, I had a lot of fun!
Solar Smash by blacksheepza 2017-05-05T04:08:06Z ♥ 0
Cool game. Couldn't figure out why I was so bad at aiming until I remember gravity was a thing, haha. Keep up the good work!
Glass Houses by volando 2017-05-05T04:00:02Z ♥ 1
Cool story element story element to the game. Wasn't a fan of walking back and forth without much interaction to the home and the machine. Nice graphics and audio! Keep up the good work!
Psycho Paul by Raphael 2017-05-05T03:48:52Z ♥ 2
Great job on the game, very in depth with the different itemed tasks as well as trying to discover the man. I feel like the man your wife is cheating on with shouldn't be described as lucky. Also maybe make the door to the storage bins as little more noticeable to do the tasks. Great work, I had a lot of fun!
My Very Own World by Flipsy 2017-05-04T07:22:32Z ♥ 1
Cute little hilarious game. Game me too much control letting me draw stuff with the stars and flowers, haha. I had fun being able to customize all of the different things like dance moves, colors, stars and flowers! Keep up the good work!
SkyWays by Steerschips 2017-05-04T07:10:56Z ♥ 1
Cool game, nice work! The bouncing of the ship was an interesting challenge when trying to make the jump when you unexpectedly jump higher certain times. Nice work on the mechanics and different setups for navigating between planets. Add a minimap would have added in finding what I was supposed to be doing at first, but after that I have fun. Keep up the good work!
Come on, barbarian! by uchiro 2017-05-04T07:05:21Z ♥ 2
That was truly awesome. The game was full featured, polished, hilarious as the players are slowly pulled up and off the screen as they die. The facial expression. I am impressed. Only small complaint was the Enter key is nowhere near the other controls, would have prefer just to use mouse click on any key press to continue dialog (small nit). Keep up the amazing work. Awesome!!!
Recoil Assault by JDruid 2017-05-03T05:50:59Z ♥ 1
Nice job on the game. Interesting concept on using the recoil for movement. It's a challenging mechanic to handle for the recoil and shooting. Possibly consider reducing the amount of inertia contained with the recoil. Adding some drag to the player so they cannot infinitely speed up could allow for a more precise movement with the shooting to move. Keep up the good work on the game!
slovenly shopper by jelch 2017-05-03T05:45:24Z ♥ 0
Cute and fun pixel stealth game. Funny text and audio to introduce the game, easy to use mechanics once I found the controls. Nice tutorial as well helping people getting into the game. You did a very nice god on this game. Keep up the good work!
6-Sided Sojourn by Cosmic Adventure Squad 2017-05-03T05:35:59Z ♥ 1
Nice job, this was really fun! I really enjoyed the concept and graphics of this. Has an extremely difficult time clicking the sides I could not see, or using the arrow keys to also try to attack those directions. Once I found the sweet spot for clicking I did really well. Keep up the good work!
The Taker by Epicsoft 2017-05-03T05:23:22Z ♥ 2
Fun game. Nice work getting all of the different mechanics of different items you can place in the game with all their different roles. Could consider adding costs to the items to add more realize on good performance and not spamming armies. Nice job on the game. Keep up the good work!
Shifting Survival by Bookworm31 2017-05-03T05:07:01Z ♥ 0
Nice job on the game! Fun to jump around and see what is the more effective use of my time for survival. Nice variety in the different options for resources and tasks you could do. Fun text adventure. Keep up the good work!
Samhain: Fly Away Home by Vanillycake 2017-05-03T05:00:05Z ♥ 5
Awesome work on everything. The art - 2d, 3d, hand painted - was awesome. It was a very cute game. Flying did feel a little overpowered to get home. I explored the ant mine and killed some ants by jumping on them, but I feel like it was intended to include interaction/actions inside the tunnels but didn't have enough time to do it. Looks like you have the structure to continue this game and flesh it out even more. What you have now is really cute and fun - keep up the good work!
Crumble Crust by Itzhak W 2017-05-03T04:40:41Z ♥ 2
Amazing concept art. I had a fun time with the game. Really cool concept all around, from the mechanics of the player to the chips of the crust crumbling off. Would have enjoyed some sort of sort to show how awesome I am at the game though. Good work, keep it up!
Say Something by Houcine Chelbi 2017-05-03T04:24:14Z ♥ 2
Fun game. It was cute being able to jump around the world. I was not expecting the health bar to be displayed using color instead of the bar shrinking. I did fairly well against the shards, but they kept coming. Nice job keep up the good work!
Cardboard Cats Online by Tenoch 2017-05-03T02:03:46Z ♥ 2
Nice work on the game. I had a lot of fun playing! Keep up the good work Ilseroth. I was able to get online and check out the game no problem!
Statera by Kristian David 2017-05-02T07:36:17Z ♥ 3
Fun game. Kinda similar to my game, yet so different. It was cool to be able to be in control of the lightning and bullets. I was having difficulty with any of the animals moving, but it was fun seeing the slimes reproduce. Good job on the game and keep up the good work!
Room Number by Ayush Singla 2017-05-02T07:21:47Z ♥ 2
Nice game. I have to admit, the background music was only a few notes and it started to get aggressively repetitive. The mechanics of the game and cute style was fun to play. The UI was easy to use. I had an issue with the kickable block on the (3rd or 4th) level where I went through the triangle portal and then had to kick it. It wouldn't kick until I was an additional block away. Great job in completing this in the ludum dare time. Full featured and glad I could try it out. Keep up the good work.
Petty Puny Planet 38 by JorgeGameDev 2017-05-02T06:38:58Z ♥ 2
Nice job on the entire game, as well as leaving comments on people's games and responding to other people's comments. Cute graphics, funny noises as I proceeded to make the best world possible. I enjoyed you including the previous context of what happened so far on the side. A lot of work seems to have gone into the choices and scripts/dialog. Easy to use UI and clean cut/easy to read. Overall I'm pressed. I'm jealous of the cursor (never got around to getting one to work properly on the web in our game) and it looks like you got mobile working as well (really jealous). Keep up the awesome work between you and your team, I hope you had as much fun making this as I had playing it.
Space Cowboy's Last Stand by jasperarmstrong 2017-05-02T06:26:42Z ♥ 1
The cowboy was cute, the game was fun. Everything was great - except I couldn't stop killing myself with the gravity of the bullets. I would get trigger happy and keep shooting, which resulting in my own bullets killing me. I had a lot of fun playing this. Keep up the good work!
Conquery - Conquer The World! by Tanay 2017-05-02T06:20:34Z ♥ 1
Cute little game. Fun easy to do movement. Kinda wish I could fight back. I also kept losing my cursor off the screen so that was my fault on messing up. Nice job getting everything working from UI to mechanics, I had fun playing it!
Soleil by JoyFired 2017-05-02T06:15:32Z ♥ 1
Interesting game. Wasn't expecting the graphics or the animations, pleasant surprises. Nice job creating the full depth of the game. It was a fun adventure an an interesting take on the small world concept. Keep up the good work!
Not Enough Room by rubyleehs 2017-05-02T05:21:13Z ♥ 3
Cute fun little game. It was challenging. Pretty intuitive after dying the first few times what you could and couldn't do. Pretty self explanatory on learning, and then it got challenging, fast. I had fun playing it. Keep up the good work. Curious how well other people stacked up in this game.
Island Guard by AnayK 2017-05-02T05:18:29Z ♥ 0
Haha, that game got hard fast, I didn't stand a chance. I had fun, the fast movement and response by the game was nice. Sometimes I would get stuck on the edges, but overall I had a great time playing it! Keep up the great work!
HexCity by MartensCedric 2017-05-02T05:12:42Z ♥ 1
Really cool concept in getting the requirement for the pieces and the hex building working. A preference would have been to display the requirements directly on the item you were trying to build so I wouldn't need to have this game page with the rules open as I played and was looking back and forth constantly. Also made it a little more difficult at first learning what each item was. Nice game mechanics and everything to make this puzzle game challenging! Keep up the good work.
No Minor Task: Party of a Lifetime by XAVIER_INDIE_GAMEDEV 2017-05-02T05:04:48Z ♥ 1
Cool game. Funny dialog and nice work on getting everything integrated together. Had a nice full feeling to it to have everything form the dialog and controls for fast and normal speed to getting the game play going. Nice graphics and collecting. A little confusing. Liked that I also didn't have to go through the dialog again once I 'died'.
Smalltrek by impbox 2017-05-02T04:48:50Z ♥ 1
Really good job. Seen some other implementations of the same play/mechanics for games similar to this, but the art and immersion created in this game were really impressive. Also cute pixel art, I had a blast!
Near kingdoms by Hadik 2017-05-02T04:36:08Z ♥ 1
Good job on making this game. It's a classic and I really the game I had similar to this on my phone. Some leveling of the classes could help, but overall nice. You have a good concept that you can really build from! Keep up the good work!
Enceladus by mgoadric 2017-05-02T04:29:54Z ♥ 1
It was an interesting game. Hard to figure out without looking at the instructions and a lot of trial and error. Nice job on the mechanics and graphics and getting it all working together. Keep up the good work!
Little Eco Planet by Wheerd 2017-05-02T04:23:05Z ♥ 1
Cool game. Fun figuring out the different aspects into this puzzle style game to get all of the different animals to live in this ecosystem. Had fun trying to figure everything out and it got hard as I forgot what some of the rules for the animals were, like for the monkeys. Keep up the good work!
Clean the Dorm by fangzhangmnm 2017-05-02T04:18:14Z ♥ 1
Cool game. Really innovative on the design, usage of real world pictures and splitting into the 3 dimensional world of the game. Was curious how you did it all. Had to restart the game multiple times to read the instructions. I had fun playing it!
small World of Underbury by Listonos 2017-05-02T04:05:18Z ♥ 1
Hey, I heard your game is great! Hopefully there's an update, currently only running Windows 7. (Has issues running.
4 Hours by Zer0Kelvin 2017-05-01T07:29:37Z ♥ 1
Really good job on this! Nice getting the controls and everything to work with the different block types. I may have broken it near the end, kind of flying across the map, but I had fun the entire time! Keep up the good work! Good job on getting several levels completed as well, really allowing the full usage of the mechanics and skills in platforming.
"It's a small world!" by Ace 2017-05-01T07:19:14Z ♥ 1
Cool concept. Cute little chibi-voxel characters. Kind of hard to get at first, but pretty cool when I'm not getting hit by the cars and getting the heart to finally appear. Keep up the good work!
Conquer Earth by Lars DK 2017-05-01T07:10:03Z ♥ 2
Nice work, cool audio and great job getting all the mechanics down. Lots of thought and mechanics to get this board game style game to work as it does. I may have rushed it at first and lost, so I went back and found how to actually play and did a lot better, haha. Keep up the great work!
Retro Rabbit by wtoa 2017-05-01T07:04:52Z ♥ 4
Nice work on the music, graphics, and game! Great indicators audio and visually of the carrot power up timing. Easy to use controls and fun little game. Could even make a mobile game?
Eine Kleine Insektmusik by davidthelazar 2017-05-01T07:00:38Z ♥ 1
As I was first trying to see if the hammers aligned with the music, I died. Hilarious and fun little game. Curious about if you imported midi's or programmed all the hammers yourself. The River song was hilarious level, nice job!
This Moon is Mine by Togimaro 2017-05-01T06:54:26Z ♥ 1
Nice work, nice music, great graphics - really enjoyed the Tron trails. I couldn't tell but I am impressed if the music was aligned with the beat of the world changing colors. Nice work in even deciding to do versus mode!
Lottery: you judge them I judge you by doppelgunner 2017-05-01T06:48:49Z ♥ 2
Awesome work, great graphics! Jealous of the cursor, wasn't able to get a custom mouse to work in my team's game. I may have killed myself. Or yourself? Fun game!
Space Migrator by jackyjjc 2017-05-01T06:41:30Z ♥ 0
Cool game. Nice an easy controls and concepts to follow. Intuitive enough to not need the tutorial but awesome that you managed to complete one as well! It felt full. Good work!
