LD38 — A Small World

Tub of War by quill18 2017-05-01T21:33:43Z

The most fun game I have played so far, AMAZING! ticks all the boxes. nice job! :-)

Stellar Twist by rojo 2017-05-18T08:08:46Z

Amazing concept, looks and sounds great, very challenging. I think it would benefit from a series of levels that start small and progressively get bigger and more complexed, also myabe some kind of hint system for finding remaining dust. Great job overall :slight_smile:

The Seesaw Redemption by Headmade 2017-05-14T00:20:02Z

Yay! another hamster game :hamster:

Very cool concept, artwork and sounds were awesome, and the mechanics were challenging. Great job :slight_smile:

ATLANTIS by OccultOne 2017-05-11T11:22:42Z

I wasn't really sure what I was meant to do, but was very impressed with how the game looked and felt. :-)

Communitas by hbocao 2017-05-10T12:53:57Z

Very original and well polished visually, I would have liked to of had some kind of goal as I was uncertain if what I was doing was of any benefit. :-)

Age of Utan by Yetikatt 2017-05-12T08:25:59Z

I really love this game! Took me a couple of plays to get the basic idea of what I was meant to do, love the puzzle element to it. Very well polished too, looks and feels great. The only thing I would like is a better understanding of the stats to each element to help better judge placement, not the exact stats, but just some kind of hint so I still feel the challenge but less confusing when all of a sudden my world dies. Overall though, an awesome job :slight_smile:

Near kingdoms by Hadik 2017-05-01T14:59:28Z

Awesome game, very addicting. I beat it, but only just, was loads of fun :-)

The Cookie Knight by aaranos 2017-05-02T12:15:04Z

I really like the controls, graphics and sounds to this. great level design too, a couple were quite challenging. Great job :slight_smile:

Flovala by larzan 2017-05-03T10:23:22Z

Gorgeous game, with beautiful sounds and illustration style. Simple game play with enough of a challenge so it is neither boring or frustrating, amazing! Great job :slight_smile:

Rock-E by endlesspeak 2017-05-10T13:08:07Z

Good overall game, the only issues I had playing was the backwards control on the world and the audio volume was not consistent (goes quiet in some areas and really loud in others). However, it was a fun story which I was disappointed I couldn't continue. Great job :slight_smile:

Naarrow by Ace17 2017-05-01T15:13:40Z

I honestly thought something was broken in the beginning as it seemed to not change much other than colour but I could see there was more if I could climb. Once I was able to climb it got more challenging, really enjoyed it after that long start :-)

It's A Small World And It's Gonna Get Smaller by npizzle1 2017-05-02T12:08:28Z

Very fun game, once I figured out how to lower the abductees without killing them the tanks scared the crap outta me lol. SFX are great too. great game :slight_smile:

Yet Another Zombie Wave Shooter by urfbound 2017-05-19T13:15:26Z

Nice and simple concept, funney sound fx, and all worked fine for me. However I would have preferred a more intuitive control for fire (maybe a hold space bar) as mashing the mouse button was not easy. good job :slight_smile:

Until Tomorrow by MSiddeek 2017-05-02T12:45:38Z

OMG I NEED MORE! Took a while to get into but stuck it out as I loved the style and simplicity. Couple of nice little puzzles and well thought out story. Hope I see more! Great job :slight_smile:

Satellite Bash by Elemental Zeal Game Studios 2017-05-14T00:27:05Z

Wow! this game is really hard to control, but mega fun trying to lol. Great job :slight_smile:

EVO by shide 2017-05-16T23:33:48Z

Interesting sim, I played for quite a while but with no real agenda or goal, I probably just didn't get it. The game looks and sounds beautiful and I did get a bit too excited when I saw I had create Godzilla lol! Although the hints were a great touch I didn't feel like they guided me much and once I was able to hurl another meteor it didn't seem to do anything (again, it might just be me as I don't think I understood the goal) but this did not stop me playing until my computer fan started screaming so loud it woke the wife up. Good game overall :slight_smile:

Smalltrek by impbox 2017-05-16T23:44:46Z

Incredibly well polished game. Simple to understand and the puzzles are challenging. I loved the added gameplay along with the narrative when travelling between worlds. However I got a bit frustrated after completing the first world as I kept accidently entering the level again while trying to skip the text. Great game overall :slight_smile:

Caturday is today by DemyHallar 2017-05-04T11:43:51Z

very cute concept, beautiful artwork. Great job :blush:

What Remains. by Fiote 2017-05-03T14:41:38Z

One of my favourite games, took me a couple of plays to get my head around controls (I am terrible for not read instructions) but I thoroughly enjoyed this game. very well thought out and challenging puzzle concept, lovely graphics and sounds Great job :slight_smile:

Shrinking Planet by Brackeys 2017-05-01T22:02:55Z

Beautifully polished game, very simply and fun to play. I especially love the score UI. Well done :-)

RoboLand by slovakyan 2017-05-10T13:35:58Z

Played the LD38 entry version first. I had to read these comments to figure out I had to click the robot to start his movement, but that was the only thing I that got me stumped. levels were easy so I felt some kind of time limit of resource limit would add some more challenge to the levels. Playing the latest iteration I am still unsure how to 'activate' the end goal assuming that's what I need to do. but it is visually coming along really well. The robot is a nice cute little character and the colours are beautiful. Hope this game continues to improve at the rate it appears to be. Great job :slight_smile:

Tau Zero by sharpcoder 2017-05-19T13:22:51Z

The game does not appear to be working for me (tried chrome and firefox). the main menu loads on chrome but as soon as I fire the rocket it sticks to the top left corner and the camera just stays on the launch planet. Nice graphics and sounds, but unfortunately can't really rate the gameplay :worried:

Microms' World by TomBuston 2017-05-02T14:45:43Z

Very well polished game. looks and sounds great. Controls were nice and easy and the objective very clear. was loads of fun. Great job :slight_smile:

Hamster, RUN! by theDoodleGuy 2017-04-25T09:43:49Z

Thank you very much @xelphyre for taking the time to feedback. This is my first game so this is really useful :-)

Hamster, RUN! by theDoodleGuy 2017-05-02T09:35:14Z

Thanks for the feedback @khorm, @tweedle and @fireslash. I did a few more tweeks to the fall variable on level 2 so that should be fine now (no idea how I missed that one). Also I think the dying with health bug was due to a missing condition, the hamster has to survive the fall in the first place to earn the hp bonus from a treat caught while falling. I was hoping to have more time to add some UI to help show this, so as it was part of my original plan I won't hack this out but simply fix the bug so it worked as intended. Thanks again for playing and taking the time to feedback. :slight_smile:

Hamster, RUN! by theDoodleGuy 2017-05-02T14:41:00Z

Thanks @tombuston, @sachos345 and @bunnery. more really helpful feedback.

Definitely should have just used a key input to start/restart, and I think enough people have mentioned it to warrant working on an unlockable level select screen.

Thanks again for playing :slight_smile:

Hamster, RUN! by theDoodleGuy 2017-05-02T18:06:39Z

@floata-1 that's very strange, was this the web player?

Hamster, RUN! by theDoodleGuy 2017-05-02T20:35:08Z

Lol @kasarun, thanks for playing. I did actually created the assets to include visuals to highlight the health bonus/loss but ran out of time to implement 😟

Good idea @silkworm-sweatshop, something to consider. I was aiming to make the player sweat a bit by cutting the time as much as possible, the levels I managed to create were so simple, it was needed to challenge them. Thanks for playing 😊

Superbugs by Breadmower 2017-05-02T15:09:43Z

Wow, this is different. Very fun little puzzle game, and easy to play (not always quite so easy to solve lol). Well thought out. Great job :slight_smile:

Chick And Giant by DanteWang 2017-05-18T08:17:23Z

Nice idea, love the graphic style and sounds. The level progression worked well until I got killed by what I thought was a water drop so I assumed I needed to collect it also, so could possibly benefit from something more obvious. However that was the only issue I had playing this game, and once it killed me once I knew not to collect it again, it was just confusing is all. Great job overall :slight_smile:

Giant Steps by Lennart Jansson 2017-05-10T22:23:05Z

Great concept and very well executed. Great job :slight_smile:

Terrartisan by ladybenko 2017-05-02T12:27:57Z

Beautiful little game, looks and sounds well polished. very fun. Great job :slight_smile:

Sunken Mystery by Shubham Gupta 2017-05-18T08:27:15Z

Very challenging, mostly down to the control as the movement was very fast for me and I kept moving off of the ladders and platforms, this is due the the added sense of urgency with the depleating oxygen which was a nice touch but I had to wonder how it fills up between levels, I think it could possible help the story if you collect a new tank at the end or something, but thats more asthetic than actual gameplay though. Loved the puzzle aspect. Great job overall :slight_smile:

Stardust - A space adventure by shiitman 2017-05-01T13:31:42Z

Very impressive, love the artwork! :-)

The Tiny Astronaut by JSJDev 2017-05-03T11:50:59Z

Great artwork with simple yet challenging game play. I too found some issues with the hitboxes, but I still very much enjoyed the game. Great job :slight_smile:

Retro Rabbit by wtoa 2017-05-03T07:57:48Z

I freakin love that bunny character design!!! Very cool 80s vibe, and I felt a Pac-man like game play which probably got me more excited than it should have when I got my first carrot lol. Great job guys :slight_smile:

Harry Inks Shrinks by Oxlander 2017-05-01T21:17:44Z

I'm not sure I understood what to do fully but that may be due to it being unfinished, I felt I was just wandering around, However I do love the graphic style and would be very interested in playing this finished with more things to interact with :-)

Colorfly by Zelos 2017-05-02T16:34:50Z

Beautiful sound and visuals. very simple but would have preferred to see more of the circle 'world' style game play develop into more of a challenge. The side scroller bit did get more challenging, but the whole time I was hoping to be taken back to that first style. Really lovely game though, well polished. :slight_smile:

Look up by Vodzik 2017-05-14T00:46:18Z

Cool idea, very well polished and fun to play. As mentioned in previous comments, the only thing worth mentioning is it could do with the difficulty being cranked up a little. Great job overall :slight_smile:

It's square to be a cube by Khorm 2017-05-01T13:24:07Z

interesting gameplay, the spikes made me panic a few times lol. only issue I had was getting impaled and stuck on corners. nice job overall :-)

Space Diver by HDTeaV 2017-05-02T13:04:41Z

Great little game, very fun to play. Cute graphics and sound made for very relaxing play, would love to see some levels with more than one planet to step up the challenge. Great job :slight_smile:

Tetripolis by kasarun 2017-05-01T21:22:44Z

OMG I love this concept! so simple but works so well, great in game graphics. Very addicting. :-)

Space Raiders by Smeax 2017-05-12T08:10:00Z

I was unable to play as I'm on Mac, but I watched it on stream and had to come comment. This game looks amazing! Great concept, beautiful artwork and sounds. Well done :slight_smile:

Blobbery by Odefus 2017-05-17T21:58:06Z

nice idea, great graphics and audio. I spent ages trying to avoid the spikes and eventually realised I was immune (assume that's just a bug) otherwise very challenging, I enjoyed the jump mechanics a lot, was a nice twist from a usual platformer. Well done :slight_smile:

FUEL by KCreanor 2017-04-26T13:55:52Z

Awesome gameplay idea, very fun!

The Nedludd Club by zaibakk 2017-05-10T13:13:50Z

Wow, great idea. Well polished and challenging. I will have to come back to this later though when I have more time. Excellent entry, well done :slight_smile:

Meetup by sofibab 2017-05-01T22:01:35Z

interesting take on the theme, love the background music and pixel graphics. well done one your first entry :-)

Becky's very very Small and TOTALLY not mundane World by pmarincak 2017-05-02T12:53:35Z

Really nice varied gameplay, I had to stop after about 11k do to real work lol. beautiful graphics and sounds. Great job :slight_smile:

herbarium by t-mw 2017-05-01T15:04:35Z

Great idea, love the puzzle element. I failed hard lol. great game :-)
