LD56 — Tiny Creatures

Little Life by ratly 2024-10-14T23:27:41Z

Great way to turn the CA into a game play loop, and challenging, a great puzzle game!

Cheese or Squeeze by DGSpitzer 2024-10-07T23:35:10Z

Cute! Interesting concept! How did you integrate the llm? I wasn't sure what the symbols did that I was suppose to use in the signals

Cheese or Squeeze by DGSpitzer 2024-10-08T00:06:01Z

@vivyhasadream Its difficult but interesting and fun! Thanks for sharing your work! The LLM integration is technically impressive

Checkmite by Roitchie 2024-10-14T23:51:42Z

That is so cool! Bookmarked! The mood and art for this game is great and it has a polished feel (great use of color btw)! Its kinda funny they according to rules, almost like automota in our game)

Scrubby Shrimp by Steven Garberg 2024-10-08T19:04:06Z

Cute, I don't understand when it ends, but pretty chill!

About Crayons and my garden by velvetlobster 2024-10-08T18:57:43Z

I have no idea what is going on but I really like the mood and just running around looking at the environment!

The Seven Guorts by JCoMcL 2024-10-07T23:38:02Z

Im not sure what to do or what I am doing, but the characters are great!

Tiny nomads by Vhalenn 2024-10-07T19:13:09Z

Looks really polished!

M.E.S - Mini Ecosystem Simulator by Itskdog 2024-10-08T00:02:23Z

Super cool! Really like the idea (a little like our submission), and I like that I can customize creatures and add them in dynamically! Thanks for sharing.

Cute

Tiny Territories by Willby 2024-10-08T18:50:39Z

Nice that you made it in your own engine! Not totally sure I understand the rules, but seems like a nice puzzle

Don't feed the frog by kremlebot 2024-10-07T23:17:30Z

I like the idea that you cant directly attack the other frog and your more in a race. Really like your sprites!

Very! Tiny Creatures by Dfyzet 2024-10-08T18:01:14Z

Neat!

Small things by SID37 2024-10-07T19:02:41Z

Super cool! I use to love stop motion as a kid, I felt like digital is an alternative to that, cool to see them combine!

Tiny Trooper Empire by Jo Bettaque 2024-10-14T23:37:20Z

LOVE engine, it stands out! Cool!

Lab Rat Runner by anaastaska 2024-10-08T19:32:51Z

Neat! I was hoping to see stuff themed like this during the jam! Though I feel bad blowing up the little mice :(

Quantum Swarm by Damien Black 2024-10-07T23:59:01Z

Super cool bookmarking the itch page!

Rat Game by Pachino55 2024-10-14T23:59:45Z

Cute! Good fit for theme!

Cellular Automota by The Floating Brain 2024-10-14T23:22:00Z

@Calcopod @ratly Yes originally we wanted the CA to create environments that tiny creatures would move into which would then be subjected to environmental challenges.

@Calcopod I really like your sound idea! @ratly That is also a really neat way to turn this into a gameplay loop!

Cellular Automota by The Floating Brain 2024-10-14T23:23:58Z

Thanks for checking out our submission officially past the required 20 votes!!

Cellular Automota by The Floating Brain 2024-10-14T23:29:25Z

@sheaksadi lol glad you enjoyed it!

Cellular Automota by The Floating Brain 2024-10-14T23:41:07Z

@roitchie Good to see another fellow nerd here! I really think CA have a lot of potential! Its silly but I really appreciate that you liked to customization options, in a 48 hour jam its often hard to get that level of polish but in 72 hours it really gave me the time to package this up (and write my own little "application framework") as a more polished application, I worked hard on those options and made sure they were somewhat compile time optimized (grid size is a template parameter, some of the functions are `if constexpr`'d), so thank you for noticing :smile: !
