LD23 — Tiny World

Disregard All Humans by Fireblend 2012-04-30T19:39:00

Haha, crushing these tiny people was a lot of fun! :) It would be even more fun if the godzilla's speed wasn't angular but linear, and it wouldn't slow down :) Graphics were fine, too :)

It's a tiny world by Endurion 2012-04-24T20:07:00

Very fun :) It could be a great pastime game for a phone! It reminds me of good times with Diablo, but it's better, because it also spawns chests!

Bill in BSODia by vigrid 2012-04-23T19:05:00

@VDOgamez: Yes, the map is quite big, and the world feels empty. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to balance the game properly - I have realized in the last hour there was no way to kill the enemies, only to die, so I had to fix this ;). Also, the weapon drops are 100% random.

@R3ason: haha, next game I'm going to make is going to start with a spinning umbrella you will control a skinny guy on a mission to kill a nerd ;)

Bill in BSODia by vigrid 2012-04-23T21:33:00

@mikolalysenko, @omaha, @matheus23: Sorry about that, guys. I will try and make a MonoGame build, which will hopefully work on more machines.

@Izzimach: sure I could, if I had a way to test it on XBOX. Unfortunately I'm unable to get into XBLA dev program.

Bill in BSODia by vigrid 2012-04-23T22:08:00

@Mago: WOW, thanks for jumping through so many hoops just to play my game! I wanted to make the BSOD fullscreen for better immersion, but somehow during the jam this didn't seem like a good idea, I don't remember why now... And yes. I realize the level is poorly designed. Should I make a sequel? ;)

Free Donutia by the8donut 2012-04-23T19:49:00

I got hooked on your game :) I just wanted to kill them all, red bastards! Played on my laptop so the touch pad wasn't the best for aiming.

Tinysoft by wurstknifte 2012-04-23T20:26:00

Reminds me of HL a lot. This engine has potential, the game had quite nice feel to it, too.

Tiny World Destruction by Kyle Franz 2012-04-30T21:07:00

<3 The Death Star (TM). Wish there was at least some rudimentary sound.

Who stole my pixels?!? by matheus23 2012-04-23T22:27:00

Your game has potential. It would be better if you skipped the tutorial and just gave hints during the game. I wasn't able to figure out what to do. Hint: too much text results in td;dr syndrome.

Tiny World by piterlouis 2012-04-23T23:23:00

You have just scored 5 in innovation - simple, but very effective mechanics!

Skully's Microscopic World by Skully 2012-04-23T23:11:00

Great take on the theme!

A Theft of Mass by uberneen 2012-05-01T01:14:00

Lunar Lander meets MotherLoad. Well done, apart from the controls - you could give the ship a bit more thrust. Also, the camera should adapt to where the ship and where is it heading and should show what are you approaching. I really missed the laser/digging sounds. This game has potential for a tablet game, with accelerometers for controlling the ship, and touch input to point at what you want to dig. On a side note, the mouse keys seemed to stick sometimes. They didn't react to presses, or acted like they're pressed when they weren't. Apart from that - well done!

Cylcubere Origins by Birchmountain 2012-04-23T17:28:00

The speaking thing reminds me of Jigsaw, and the room reminds me of Cube movie. I like the overall feel of this game.

ONLY US by Datamosh 2012-05-13T02:02:00

I like your game overall, especially the graphics - well polished, cute, and adequate to the theme. The controls could be a bit different. Why use mouse at all, if only you can interact what you are standing nearby? The combat could be an exception here. Well done!

Flight of the Ladybug by robcozzens 2012-04-23T23:36:00

Release it for Android. NOW! :)

Fun, simple, one-click gameplay. Very nice graphics.

Tininess Defense by The-Force 2012-04-30T19:08:00

Haha, spin your planet to save it :) I liked this idea, and the game itself is really fun. Well done!

Tiny World Peace by jwolf 2012-04-30T19:28:00

This game could be fun, if it had a bit more polish, and the controlled planet would affect the bullets and rockets by gravity, not by collissions.

6 Degrees of Sabotage by dukope 2012-04-30T21:49:00

It's how LinkedIn should work. You get 5 bullets and network connections. Interesting concept, and it's more fun, because the theme interpretation is not direct. Reminds me a bit of Cluedo game.

Tiny Shards by Gabriel 2012-04-30T18:23:00

Great execution - eye-catching graphics (I love the pixelization effect), music that doesn't annoy, and actually adds to the mood of the game. The gameplay is a bit hard, especially on Harday. I'm not a platformer expert, so I gave up, but would love to see the ending!

Tiny Worlds by unigee 2012-04-30T20:55:00

Great ideas are simple, and your game is a perfect example of that. It would be even better if the camera followed the cannonball, and maybe if you could have levels where the planets move around. The graphics do their job, I really like how the weather changes on the planets. This game has a great potential as a tablet / phone game. Well done!

Invaders! by wibblymat 2012-04-26T00:14:00

Well. Apparently I suck.

Tinysasters by Volute 2012-04-24T10:45:00

Fun, simple but solid game, and perfect interpretation of the theme.

Attack on the Planet XXS-01 by TenTonToon 2012-04-24T14:16:00

Pretty hard to control.

Kamikaze Planet by Monomer 2012-04-23T20:20:00

I love the atmosphere in this game - reminds me of the good old times when the neighborhood had just one guy with a Nintendo clone. Well done!

World In A Bottle by Serilyn 2012-04-30T23:54:00

Interesting idea - too bad I couldn't find a balance that would support the poor bunnies. I love how this fits into the compo theme!

Disastronaut by Jeffalisk 2012-04-30T22:47:00

Reminds me a bit of "Jet Pac" from C64 / ZX Spectrum, in a good way. I liked the mechanics of limited fuel in your jet pack thrust. Hint: the camera should be showing what's ahead of the player, not what's behind the player. It is a good execution of the theme, and has quite satisfying graphics.

Soul Searchin' by MaximSchoemaker 2012-04-25T22:36:00

Well done - I got hooked and completed the game, and had a lot of fun :)

a SMALL problem by sirGustav 2012-05-13T01:35:00

FUn little platformer - well done with the theme, the graphics are really good, although the rat is a bit... malnutritioned ;) The character was a bit challenging to control, but I have reached the goal. Wish there was more levels!

Tiny Island Adventure by AdventureIslands 2012-04-23T21:07:00

Wonderful graphics and well designed levels. I really, really enjoyed your game. The only thing I would change is the entrances to caves - these were not obvious enough - a darker shade of gray would help with these.

Oh No, Tiny Rover! by decultured 2012-04-30T21:10:00

Couldn't play it. No Windows version in the Windows archive. Sorry.

@kanye by Cakebread 2012-04-23T17:24:00

I looked at this and thought - what spam page did I click, then I realized it's actually interactive. I really like how this looks like a real web page.

Tiny Timmy and Big Bill by OmarShehata 2012-04-30T19:15:00

This is a game for schizophrenics! The controls drove me crazy, but somehow I got a hold of them. I really like how this fits the theme, and the graphics, and sound. Great stuff!

When Worlds Collide by AlwaysGeeky 2012-04-24T19:08:00

I had loads of fun blowing up this planet. It's a good de-stresser. Too bad there was no audio at all!

gravity by Rémi 2012-05-01T22:42:00

Haha, I like the simplicity, again! I like how you have used weight as a mechanic, and the physics to drive it.

Tiny Neutrino by Scott Baker 2012-05-01T00:09:00

There's a bit too much going on, and sometimes I lost track of my particle. Interesting execution of the theme, wish there was more things to go through, and level design would be more puzzle-like, not a "rush through to win".

TinyNuke by nixeldev 2012-05-13T01:44:00

Haha, I like it! This would make a great game for phones or tablets - I really loved the simple controls - just 3 buttons to do everything. Graphics were better than adequate, and sound was ok. Well done!

Lost Oxide by SidetrackGames 2012-04-23T19:16:00

Great artwork - very consistent. The controls are really smooth. The game itself is a bit hard, I didn't beat it :)

Tiny Room by chaosBrick 2012-04-23T17:34:00

The game doesn't work for me. The music started to play, but the game crashed with this exception:

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\LD23\Models\Player2.mdl' is denied.

Hint: make your game a standalone download, not requiring to be installed.

Godzilla Rampage by kasarun 2012-04-24T20:14:00

Quite fun - demolishing buildings and stomping on tiny people :D

Tiny Eco by Truce 2012-04-24T20:37:00

I wasn't really sure if I "won", or not - this game would need some goals or "par" to be achieved for each level. I like the idea overall. Good take on the theme!

My Little Dungeon by thegreystudios 2012-04-24T21:03:00

Nice music, the game is a bit too slow. Interesting concept - a reverse AD&D - be the dungeon master. Phones and tablets need more games like this!

Microscopia by azurenimbus 2012-04-26T10:25:00

Very addictive - I love the idea, and the realization of the theme!

Zoomed Out by _limao 2012-04-23T17:39:00

Interesting controls. Nice that the game actually has any music in it. It would be better as a standalone download, not needing to be installed.

Planet Protectors by TM13 2012-04-23T17:46:00

I love the ambience, I love the controls and how you can feel the gravity. This game has potential :)

Quest For Matter by ThePrevenge 2012-04-23T17:49:00

The game works, but it doesn't look like it has any purpose. I haven't been motivated to keep playing it.

Tiny Card World by Pisti 2012-04-23T23:43:00

Couldn't understand the rules. UI is a bit unintuitive.

To What a Mountain? by cageinabird 2012-04-30T19:43:00

Congratulations on completing LD. Too bad there was no sound. For some reason I didn't really like this stomp-and-destroy game as much as I liked the other ones - probably because of the blood and swearing. Odd, because this is exactly my cup of tea.

Bellerophon by eriwad 2012-04-23T17:51:00

It worked. It might have been more fun if it weren't controlled by keyboard but by a pad.

My World by IrfanFox 2012-04-23T17:53:00

I like how the game window is small here. Unfortunately after "playing the game all night", the game seemed stuck for me. No interaction was possible.

Les Petites Bombes by jgalecki 2012-04-23T17:58:00

I like it! It was quite enjoyable to play. A phone version would probably be good, too!

Steel by Lupinius 2012-04-23T18:13:00

Great work! I really enjoyed playing this game, and will play it later, too. Congratulations on great level design - it must have been a challenge for an arcade-puzzle style game. Chapeau bas!

Matrix Creatrix by piman 2012-04-30T21:56:00

Interesting puzzle game - definitely a kind of game I'd like to have on my phone - port it!

Tiny God wants a Bigger World by Thotep 2012-04-30T18:30:00

I love the simplicity of controls of this game, and what could emerge from it, if added just a couple more concepts. Definitely a Molyneux game, like some of the others said - tiny populous. It doesn't need better graphics - it fits the theme perfectly, and to me (god), people are just dots. Well done!

Lady Bug!!! by Nightsjester 2012-04-23T18:05:00

So far this is a game with the best graphics I have rated. Quite fun to play, too!

Just Another Day At TWM Inc. by hi-scor.es 2012-04-23T18:21:00

Your game fits the theme perfectly - it's a simulation of a tiny world. It is really addictive, and it takes a while to balance the ecosystem. Congrats!

Planet Defender by Kyvos 2012-04-23T18:08:00

This could be quite addicting on a tablet. Needs more types of guns!

DIMENSIONAUTS by allen_tingley 2012-04-23T18:42:00

Ouch... The sound... The sound... Sorry, but I couldn't help to quit.

Winzig by Hydlide 2012-04-23T18:52:00

This game is quite fun. I also write boring database code, and want to have an adventure like this. Do you have any pie you could send me?

Intersection by cltatman 2012-04-30T20:58:00

Original idea, yet I fail to see how does it tie to the compo theme.

Tour Manager by jrkirby 2012-04-23T19:54:00

Hmmm... This feels like "gamification" of traveling salesman problem. It would be a lot more satisfactory if it had at the tourists walking between the cities, and have dollar signs popping out when they arrive.

Predicament by orangepascal 2012-04-24T00:07:00

One of the best games in the 48h compo! I like it and WILL complete it :)

Tiny Worlds by Lidfrid 2012-04-23T22:05:00

Reminds me a bit of Angry Birds Space, but it's a great take on the theme. Very nice "music". Your game is extremely playable :) Congrats!

Pretentious Game by keybol 2012-04-25T00:38:00

Wow, at first I thought this game looks like garbage, but I decided to give it a try anyway - I got hooked and finished it. Great mood and great music. Graphics are exactly what they need to be for this type of game - leaving to imagination, what needs to be left. Kudos!

Kumiho by Christina Antoinette Neofotistou 2012-04-30T19:11:00

Very polished graphics, but I really failed to see the tie to the theme, before I read that enemies are wasps.

Finding Yourself by Maple 2012-04-23T20:13:00

Wow. This is hard and it has this special "What? I won't beat this game?" feeling. Well done! Addictive and enjoyable. I love the respawning.

Jack by PaulSB 2012-04-24T21:34:00

Heheh, I LOL'd on a number of occassions :) Smelly foot FTW

AdventuresInTinyWorld by billknye 2012-04-23T22:35:00

Hahaha - I just love the ass-shaking animation before the jump. I am sure, you have had quite a hyperactive cat for a while.

Nook by PoV 2012-04-24T19:29:00

Great entry, extremely playable, and well designed :)

Atom Planet by NMcCoy 2012-05-04T11:05:00

Really loved the "crafting" system, simple and useful. I had to use the walkthrough to complete the game though. I wish there was something given as a reward for destroying your little world with the victory diamond :)

Big Space Tiny Man by invaderJim 2012-04-30T19:31:00

Kudos for posting the game, even though incomplete. The game had a nice visual appeal to it. It could use some sounds from the tiny people, too.

Pro Stew Chugger by Tourgen 2012-04-30T22:17:00

I fail to see how does your game match the theme. Reminds me a bit of Gauntlet games.

Ant, Bee, Cow, Pig and Spider BOSS by karnakgames 2012-04-30T16:53:00

Great sound effects - really fun to listen, not too distracting. graphics do their job, and even the promised "stealth" element is there. Don't try to play without reading the tips!

Tiny Ranger by Monkey Armada 2012-04-23T23:17:00

Simple, but effective gameplay and graphics. Reminds me of Limbo a bit. This would make a fun phone / tablet game, methinks.

Ant-hill escape thingy by teomat 2012-04-23T21:29:00

Ahahaha, you have scored 5 in Humor from me :) "The End - Sorry" :D

This Planet Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us by Cidolfas 2012-04-23T21:10:00

Interesting game mechanics. The controls were a bit weird for me.

Bright Worlds by johnfn 2012-04-23T23:54:00

Fun little logical platformer, and for some reason it reminded me of The Incredible Machine.

dLeIaFtEh by Cell 2012-04-23T18:39:00

I have absolutely no idea what is this game about, but I like it anyway :)

My Little Planetoid by matthias_zarzecki 2012-04-30T17:28:00

Nice game, I have completed it, even though I had problems with building on one tile I have destroyed. Your game reminds me of "Millenium - Return To Earth", which you should definitely check out if you haven't seen it: http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/871/Millenium+-+Return+to+Earth.html

Dude Rescue by agnulf 2012-04-23T18:26:00

Quite fun to play. Would be a great fit for a phone game, to kill time commuting :)

Little Knight's Tiny World by jim3wg 2012-05-01T11:23:00

Great graphics, simple controls, addictive gameplay. The screenshots are very likable, too.

Scorched Earth by Jungorend 2012-04-23T23:33:00

Hmm... The controls aren't very intuitive.

Tiny Stomp by DoktorAce 2012-04-24T20:29:00

Hahaha, I had so much fun! Killing tiny people resonates well with the community it seems... Disturbing, really disturbing...

Angle Isle by Rusty Moyher 2012-04-30T19:20:00

Very coherent graphics, and nice level design. It would be nice to have some kind of an indicator that would show how many wing flaps are left. the Music is fun :)

Stomp-A-Thump by OnionBlaze 2012-04-30T23:04:00

Simple controls make a fun game. Simple gameplay doesn't always make an addictive game. It would need something more to be addictive - like tiny people that you could crush... Not that I'm a psychopath or something...

3 Arrows by wupto 2012-04-23T19:36:00

Really nice - fun to play, well balanced, even though unforgiving at first. Once you get a handle of the controls, it's easy. I just kept A pressed and played. I wish there was something to spend the gold on.

Mini-Worlds and Monocles by Zed 2012-04-26T00:10:00

Surprisingly, the graphics in the game are a-ok. I love the sound, and the music overall.

0x17's-TinyWorld by 0x17 2012-05-13T01:29:00

Reminds me of Super Meat Boy. The gravity didn't feel ok to me, an acceleration instead of constant fall down would be better, I think. The controls were a bit dodgy especially when running towards a wall.

Calamity by jonnopon3000 2012-05-01T01:58:00

It would be really great to have an indicator saying how much world has been revealed in the final phase, because the ending comes a bit out of a sudden. The world was a bit too big for my taste to fit the "Tiny world" theme, but in a way it was fitting. Like AdventureIslands said - there's still place for "more game in the game".

Subatomica by SFBTom 2012-04-30T22:05:00

Simple, yet very interesting idea, it stands out from the other "gravity as control" games. Great realization of the theme. I found the controls challenging, but hey, that was pretty much the idea for the puzzles :)

Peppyland by spooks 2012-04-23T23:46:00

Once the blocks have fallen down, the game is unbeatable without restart.

Short Life in a Box by tequibo 2012-04-30T19:35:00

Hint: whenever you do a FPS game, put in an "Invert Mouse" option. I'm a guy raised on flight simulators, and this has affected how my brain works in FPS games :). The textures were really misleading, I couldn't really "feel" where I was.

Burger Defender by Beerman 2012-04-30T21:52:00

I'm sorry, but the controls totally stopped me from enjoying this game.

NanoQuest by Mago 2012-04-23T19:25:00

This has some potential - for power-ups for an example. It would make a nice phone game. Graphics are fun - very fitting the theme. It could really use some sound.

River Runner by omaha 2012-04-23T22:18:00

Haha, nice timewaster (in a good meaning of this word). Your game is a bit hard, or my hands are too slow for it. You should definitely make it a phone game!

Tiny Adventures In SPACE by Jacic 2012-04-30T22:38:00

Well, if I could collide with the stars when I flew through space, the game would be a challenge. The ending was a bit of disappointment - flying through this huge galaxy, just to <spoiler> be squashed by a giant foot </spoiler>

Ancestor's Sword by JaJ 2012-04-23T23:07:00

Whoa, my brain refused to cooperate after a couple of minutes of playing this game. Not that it's a bad thing. It refused to cooperate in a good way. Perfect graphics and sound.

I haven't found the sword, though.

Snow Globe Kerfuffle by j_peeba 2012-04-24T01:15:00

Simple and effective concept - I like this! I love the graphics and the music is great!

Overpopulous by Make A Game 2012-04-30T17:10:00

Really fun stuff is going on there! Simple, yet addictive mechanic, music that reminds a bit about the old arcades, but is modern at the same time - and humorous artwork. Well done!

Predominantly Tiny World by Graham Weldon 2012-04-24T14:57:00

I couldn't perceive the depth in this game right. Nice idea though. And explosions are nice.

Mirror Rays by keenblaze 2012-04-24T21:29:00

Really enjoyable game with a lot of depth, built on a simple mechanic - level design must have been hard :)

The Plane Walker by Danvil 2012-04-30T22:58:00

I'm sorry, but I just didn't sink in. I would accept this game if it was an text mode game, a graphic rogue-like is a tough thing to get right. It's missing sound, for a start. I couldn't see the link to the theme, too. Controls are mixed, too - I'd rather attack by "walking" into an enemy, instead of using mouse.

Tiny Island by AleksandarDev 2012-04-30T16:59:00

Do you still work on this? It has some potential, maybe not for an RTS game, but it's definitely a good start for something - an exploration game of some kind. I like how the terrain generation works.

Science 101 - The Sewer Chronicles by mrainwater 2012-04-30T21:04:00

SCIENCE!!! I like the mechanics - constantly having to fight against growing self, balancing it with shrinking to get to the goal. Voice acting is fun, the game itself is crazy-professor-humorous. Well done!

A Super Mario Summary by johanp 2012-04-24T20:41:00

Awesome - fun idea, fits the theme just right, and brings back memories! Well done!

All That Are Lost Will Be Found by R3ason 2012-04-30T18:59:00

Good mood, it would probably scare the shit out of me if it would have sound :D

tiny world war by Jonny D 2012-04-30T22:24:00

Controls are a bit dodgy. I couldn't tell which tank do I control, and how do I control it. Collisions - I couldn't tell if I can go behind a building or not. Other than that it's a fun little game with real multiplayer potential. I played solo though, so I guess I've missed some fun. A good candidate for an XBOX or PS game.

Single Cycles by mildmojo 2012-04-26T10:53:00

Hehe, interesting idea. Forever alone I was. :(

Tiny Defenders by Raptor85 2012-04-30T18:35:00

It could be a little addictive TD game, if added some polish. I liked the concept of ants moving, instead of having classic static turrets.

Nano Commander by SmallDeadGuy 2012-04-30T23:12:00

Really interesting idea, but... And it's a huge but that you should fix... The path finding is an arse. Still, a reverse-TD-like game, where you can upgrade your groups is a nice concept.

Invasion of the Planet Snatchers! by icefox 2012-04-30T22:14:00

Ummm... I couldn't grasp the mechanics nor the controls. It would be probably better to understand if the thruster would stop spinning once you depressed a direction key.

! by lifenoodles 2012-04-24T20:49:00

Simple, but fun. Controls make it a bit touchpad-unfriendly, but it's still playable. Would be great if you added sound.

A Tiny New World by Gameko 2012-04-30T22:50:00

Congratulations on having balls to submit it. What you did is a good exercise, and potentially, a good start to a full game - why not continue it? The graphics are quite adequate.

Escape by chrismcr 2012-04-30T22:28:00

Fun little game - would be great for touch controls - tablets, phones, and the like.

The Cube Realms by Zoomyzoom 2012-04-30T22:53:00

Windows. Java too old. Wanted to play, but couldn't. I will keep looking at the games for the next 13 days or so, so there's a chance I'll have a look at your game again. Like Raptor85 said - recompile for Java 6 to get more audience.

Minikin by tummyache 2012-04-30T23:42:00

I wouldn't like to point this out as a lack of originality, but I liked how it resembled Terraria (a game I love). I loved how the weapons just got larger and more powerful, and how the graphics reflected the tininess of the world. One thing I would change is that the character wouldn't stop when swinging the sword, just would run through enemies like a lawn mower. Oh, that... And blood :D

Rocket Boat by RHY3756547 2012-04-30T19:03:00

I like the fast-paced action of the game. The controls were a bit dodgy, but the music brought a big smile on my face. A juicy explosion would bring even a bigger smile. A multi player version would make my smile go around my head :)

Green Invasion by Kableado 2012-04-23T22:41:00

Kudos for submitting this, even though it isn't finished. You have good graphics and dynamic gameplay, which I think is really good.

Mage Duel by Kitch 2012-04-24T14:25:00

Great stuff! Really enjoyable, and nice take on the game mechanics - playing against yourself. Fun way to avoid AI coding :) Make it a phone / tablet game!

Epic Scale Warfare by devwil 2012-04-30T19:24:00

TBH, I had absolutely no idea what to do in this game.

Meteor by Caldero 2012-04-26T10:48:00

Fun game. I really liked the explosion graphics :)

Link by Dax 2012-04-30T23:17:00

Fun puzzler game. Me likes. It could be a bit faster to control though.

subAtomic by MurrayL 2012-04-30T21:39:00

I am not an adventure game fan, but it held me for a decent amount of time. The game is full of good humor. Well done!

Prince of Leaves by evilseanbot 2012-04-30T18:46:00

I love it! It's cute, it's funny, it's a platformer for slowpokes like me :) The music is just awesome, was it recorded via a wine glass?

Affinity World by Jilius 2012-04-23T20:36:00

Great work on the theme! I like the dialogues, too. The text could be made a bit more visible - sometimes it's hard to read.

HUNGRY BUGS by brackeen 2012-05-13T01:20:00

Fun concept, a perfect example how simple behaviors can lead to emergence of complexity - unfortunately I wasn't able to achieve much - I was left with my original 8 bugs, but I enjoyed how the little buggers ate plants.

Combat Cubes by bigbadwofl 2012-04-30T19:50:00

I wish your game could be run in a window. I liked the idea of "buying" a team, instead of creating it. I haven't been able to get into Day 2 - I lacked some kind of guidance. Well done on the living world, though.

ARACHNID by BuffaloPhil 2012-04-24T01:02:00

Great interpretation of the theme, I'm really impressed! Original concept - please make a tablet version of this game, I want to shoot webs :)

Stranded by The Evil Cult 2012-04-30T20:11:00

A very nice, well-paced and polished game. I had fun from the moment I started it till I completed it. At first when I pushed a rock I expected Sokoban-like puzzles, and were happy there weren't any.

Oh... And destroying the vases was very unsatisfying. These should drop coins, just for the sake of the pick-up sound effect! :)

A thought occurs... The first person to design a ship without a flux capacitor, will design a ship that is indestructible. There are so many ships that break because of that one part :).

Minisk, You Will by Miltage 2012-04-23T23:00:00

I've had a lot of fun playing this game - it's a bit hard though.

Professor McSteen, and his shrinking machine by PerilousPete 2012-04-30T19:59:00

Interesting concept, but the starting area of the level should be a bit easier IMO - great that you have posted a help video. Too bad the graphics didn't get enough time, and the gameplay required good keyboard/mouse synchronization. I'm getting old. I bet a 8-year old could beat me in any FPS of my choice.

Professor McSteen, and his shrinking machine by PerilousPete 2012-04-30T20:02:00

Oh, I know what is wrong!. I'm used to press SPACE for jumping, that's it!

Rockland by Jeroenimoo0 2012-04-24T00:54:00

Dude, the dude is nude. That's rude!

LD24 — Evolution

Evo Dash by Karel 2012-08-28T21:00:00

I love it - a lot of gameplay in a neat HTML5 package. I love the dynamism. The only thing it lacks is sound! I need a *thump* when I land.

Evolving Enemy by J00nzu 2012-08-28T13:32:00

Hard to control. I liked the physics.

Soul Jar by farmergnome 2012-08-28T00:55:00

One of my favorite entries so far - I love the graphics, and I love the theme. The only downside I see are the controls. Please definitely explore this concept further - I love the learning AI.

EvolBots (not EvilBots) by vigrid 2012-08-27T18:54:00

@jwin: the mutations are subtle but you can feel them, there's 4 different behaviors a ball can get: avoids other balls, avoids purple thingies, jumps randomly, moves randomly.

@dallthemanl: thanks for playing - the swarming is inspired by... "Swarm" on PS3.

@Desi Quintans: I am planning to develop this game further. Probably even implement from scratch. And the puzzler would be the genre.

Th3dz: Thanks for playing! I wanted the game to feel weird :)

@agersant: I know about the camera. It's kind of tricky to develop camera that will follow dozens of objects and will frame them in a reasonable way.

@cappelnord: I think 3D is fine for this. It's the level design that I messed up.

@Dakota: LOL at the testicle :) You're kinda right, it's similar.

@panzermancer: Golfballs from hell - yep :D. The original plan for the game was a bit more complicated.

@ElScootro: It's tricky to get it right. At least for me.

@josefnpat: I can't wait for Unity 4, too! Sorry about you not being able to play, next time, for sure :)

EvolBots (not EvilBots) by vigrid 2012-08-28T21:50:00

@Zccc: Thank you!

@Dark Acre Jack: Thanks, I used MaPZone from Allegorithmic to create them.

@davidllanos22: Thanks - the graphics are just what I could do as a programmer, so that means a lot to me.

@Jacic: It was supposed to get harder and harder to control, but I think I may have overdone it.

@tcstyle: The mutations are subtle. You notice them when you actually observe a single bot for a while. They actually affect how hard is it to control the swarm. Tricky to get the camera to frame everything that counts.

@Eniko: Yes, the delay was a bit too challenging, and it is definitely missing feedback. I made the green stuffs quicker to pick up. Camera... Yep, I know...

@BumpkinRich: Haha, angry mob noises? That wub wub is teleport ;)

@yettatore: I'm just learning Unity and had no experience with sound at all. I just made it play. Sure, I could probably spend a couple of minutes on balancing it.

Thanks all for playing!

Caveman Evolution Story by davidllanos22 2012-08-28T21:37:00

Fun little story :)

My Pairs and Me by Evilion 2012-08-28T13:34:00

What the hell is going on? Nice music.

Adaption by Tim Bumpus 2012-08-28T00:32:00

Interesting idea. I found just 3 ways to play this game...

The Singularity is Here! by josefnpat 2012-08-27T17:54:00

I have absolutely no clue how is it even pretending to be related to evolution, but I enjoyed it anyway. Loved the jokes.

Tiny Evolution Adventure by AdventureIslands 2012-09-10T17:11:00

Great graphics, as usual! The gameplay in the original release is a bit frustrating due to controls locking.

Oneway by azurenimbus 2012-09-14T00:08:00

This reminds me of IQ tests and I'm not too happy it took me so many attempts to finish the game - actually a nice mechanic. I will play post-compo version when you're done. I liked the strong, yet minimalistic graphics.

FOR THE darWIN by TravisChen 2012-08-31T15:59:00

I like it - nicely done everything, especially the priest's nagging sound. I couldn't really figure out what sequences gave scores, but I enjoyed the game.

evolving by pjchardt 2012-08-30T08:33:00

Nice, simple idea - the ones like these work best. You need nothing more than the cube to make this game work. Great stuff!

Cubevo by NostraDamon 2012-08-27T23:53:00

Good puzzler, I haven't managed to solve it yet. Can I have a look at the sources?

Badass by Sos 2012-08-27T17:38:00

Do I need to comment? It's Sos. Won't make sense. I LOL'ed and loved the controls.

Moche by Ilod 2012-08-28T00:21:00

Very original idea. You should definitely explore this concept and split mechanic further!

FLOWERBOT by Zccc 2012-08-28T00:15:00

Nice graphics and a fun little platformer.

Mutate Now! by goerp 2012-09-10T16:47:00

Kind of hard to figure out how to play this.

Eden by BumpkinRich 2012-08-28T21:59:00

I like the visual style, audio style and level design. Everything is great apart from the controls. My brain couldn't switch to isometric. Thanks for sharing the sources, I'll have fun learning from them! :) What does it have to do with evolution anyway? ;)

OS: Evolution by zatyka 2012-08-27T23:14:00

Looks interesting. The controls were a bit too demanding for me. It might have been the touchpad - I wasn't able to use the mouse input properly.

Darwin's Little Pink Worm by wumpus 2012-08-27T17:22:00

Interesting. It could use some sound, as basic feedback to what has happened. I haven't managed to win, just lost twice. Quite hard game, too.

Additive by Desi Quintans 2012-08-28T20:53:00

Interesting puzzler, even though the conformance to evolution is a bit... Don't really know what to say. Just fun puzzler with good sound and graphics that do their job!

Unstealthiest Ninja by brother.byto 2012-08-31T16:26:00

I fail to see where does it have anything to do with Evolution? Anyway - great that you made something in 48 hours :)

green & purple by Brian Crick 2012-08-28T00:38:00

I love the interpretation of the theme - the evolution of the path is apparent.

Journey of life by 1176Studios 2012-08-27T17:34:00

I approve this game :) I thought I won't make it to the end but I did, yay!

Moore's Game by rwos 2012-08-27T23:34:00

Nice interpretation of the theme - noone said evolution had to be present in a single game, so you made the games evolve. Well done!

Hoppy! by ElScootro 2012-08-28T21:22:00

Congratulations on completing your game. The controls are a bit... Hard to understand? All I could do was to jump. And that's it?

They Are Coming! by Gryxitl 2012-09-10T16:59:00

Extremely polished game. The controls don't feel dynamic enough imo.

Evolve Munch! by nickusername1 2012-08-27T17:12:00

I'm not sure what is the point of the game. Seems pretty rudimentary and the gameplay is puzzling - I couldn't tell what the win and lose conditions were.

Infestation by jwin 2012-08-28T20:27:00

Even though I couldn't notice where the evolution was, I believe the enemies' behavior has changed. I loved the visuals and controls - well done!

Evoquarium by EnigmaBlade 2012-08-27T17:27:00

Simple, but has a potential to become addictive. I found the sounds to be extremely annoying, but the ambient theme in the background was OK. A bit simple gameplay that feels like Asteroids, and the controls felt a bit odd.

Silent Game of Death by everchanger 2012-08-31T15:54:00

Wow, I would never think of mashing these two games up. Well done! Easily fits the theme, too :) It would be great to see more designed levels, not just random ones after the first. Great work anyway!

ContraEvolution by the.vaber 2012-08-28T00:59:00

Great graphics. The gameplay is a bit tough on a touchpad. Bacteria should look a bit more... organic.

Eat or Die by yettatore 2012-08-28T22:02:00

My god! The music made me shit bricks! Nice touch on the death animation.

The Joining by Eniko 2012-08-28T21:53:00

Ummm... The idea, even if interesting, is a bit challenging to put into use in a jam game. I don't think I've met any other players. Nice graphics... I have no idea what is the game about and how to control it - do I fight others? How?

GeomeTree by FireHawkSoftware 2012-08-28T01:03:00

What is the goal of this game? There are achievements I can see, but there is no indication of the actual goal. It's more a tool than a game, I think...?

Socket City by SethR 2012-08-27T23:29:00

Nice, innovative idea. Would make a very fun game on a touch enabled device.

Beyond Our Sacred Sun by the31 2012-08-28T13:38:00

Very incomplete indeed. Feels a bit like Galcon Fusion. The moving planets are a nice touch.

Boxy the Boxcat in Evolution Escapades by matthias_zarzecki 2012-08-28T00:07:00

I loved the art style - can we have a cardboard cutout instructions for the cats? Laser eyes were awesome, too. I think it would be better if it had sound effects. Great overall :)

Tiimmmeeee by matheod 2012-08-31T16:52:00

Fun idea. I couldn't figure out how to complete the game. The movement seems a bit slow to me.

Watercolor Wheel Evolution by tcstyle 2012-08-28T21:45:00

Wow, I love the traditional art and music feel this game has. You have a great daughter, you're a lucky man she agreed to jam with you :)

Deep Sea Fish Loves You Forever by agersant 2012-08-27T17:46:00

Nice graphics and music. Positive game overall. You designed it thinking about phones, right? :)

Evolution Racer by crackerblocks 2012-08-31T16:58:00

I have absolutely no idea what does it have to do with the theme. I loved the ending! And character customization, too ;)

Gems of the Evolving Land by RawBits 2012-08-31T16:40:00

The controls weren't great. These would be better if you made them two handed. Idea - simple but interesting. This would make a nice phone game I think.

Genes Chase by Mago 2012-08-31T15:43:00

Flying frog - yep. Saw that. Flew one. Fun little idea. I kinda started liking the music in game :)

Game Time Evolution by Jacic 2012-08-28T21:40:00

The controls are tricky. A bit too tricky for my taste.

The Kittelutioning by Norgg 2012-09-10T16:43:00

Great stuff - excellent take on the theme. If you could make the graphics "cute", that would make an awesome game!

Shroom by danlthemanl 2012-08-28T20:49:00

I love the art style, and the music :) There's a huge disparity between the nice tune and the sound effects, lol. Fun overall.

Darwin Skirmish by panzermancer 2012-08-28T21:19:00

Whoa. I have no idea what I'm playing :) Cool idea, but the sound was extremely annoying.

Life Forms by galman 2012-08-31T16:23:00

Liked the parallax background even though it doesn't behave like it should in the vertical movement. The music is great. Idea simple and enough to grasp the theme. Well done!

Evo Fight by Skoggy 2012-08-28T21:04:00

I loved how much feeling you put into the sound. I just kept throwing fireballs and I won every time.

Satanic Boegjaevlar! by Yapikom 2012-08-28T13:29:00

Nope. Not my type of game.

Wormelution by cappelnord 2012-08-28T21:12:00

Wonderful music. Feels like a very complete game, even though the gameplay could be easily made more complex and engaging. Graphics does its job. Convert it to a phone game! Great take on the theme, too.

Plan M by MurrayL 2012-08-31T16:12:00

Thank you for playing and rating my game. Unfortunately I won't be rating yours because adventure games are something I don't play, but enjoy watching. I am a back seat driver with this genre.

Death Death Evolution by Adhesion 2012-08-28T15:00:00

Great level design - the progression makes perfect sense. I like the idea of evolving by dying. Great graphics, too!

RED PLANET by BuffaloPhil 2012-08-27T17:17:00

Good entry. It has a good story potential, even though the gameplay was limited to following a predefined series of events. Great graphics :)

Advolvolution by Charlie Hadden 2012-08-27T23:38:00

Evolving board has potential. I wish there were more complex rules for it though.

Dissolution by Sergey Mohov 2012-08-31T16:28:00

More! Give us more! The sound is nice and the graphics do their job.

LD29 — Beneath the Surface

Please Come Back by PapyPilgrim 2014-04-29T17:19:00

Simple, but unforgiving. At least the music was pleasant. The unavoidable death - not so much.

The Woods by tinyworlds 2014-05-19T00:47:00

A very simple game with a very simple message. I loved the pixel art and the background sounds.

Not your Average Mining Emulator by Ace 2014-05-19T01:17:00

I couldn't understand the controls and unfortunately had to give up on it. It looks like a compo version of Terraria, and I think it has potential.

Eiradirian Wormfare by blay09 2014-05-04T16:58:00

I couldn't figure out the controls, even after looking at the tutorial screen. I haven't managed to encounter any enemies. The game seems to be more complex than the graphics suggest.

Vertico by UltimateWalrus 2014-05-19T00:08:00

Great entry, although the controls are too tricky for me. I loved the graphics and the upbeat music.

DeepStep by AlbertoSM 2014-05-19T00:43:00

Interesting game mechanic - a rhythm game, but with a twist. I wish the game was really synced to the music it played.

FedIt! by zedutchgandalf 2014-04-29T17:30:00

Everything seemed too small for me. I'm sorry, but the music was... truly bad :)

Wriggle Worm by gikdew 2014-04-29T17:07:00

Nice, simple, and quite fun game that is begging to be ported to a mobile device.

Above and Beyond by Yozz 2014-04-29T17:11:00

I'm afraid I couldn't figure out how do the controls affect the state of the game. Was it just pressing a button and waiting for the aura to grow? Having at least some sound for different auras would be great.

Mine Is Simple by darke_shard 2014-05-06T09:23:00

It could use some more levels and a map, but still it's a nice entry.

Heart of the Earth by Dans17 2014-05-19T01:13:00

The mouse sensitivity was too high for me. I liked the music.

Mine Story by donan 2014-04-29T17:16:00

I liked the graphics and sound in the game. The controls could be made a bit different to allow diagonal movement.

The Ant State by explosivose 2014-05-19T01:22:00

Not much of a game, but a simple ant colony simulator - keep working on this!

StromnetZ by Moosefly 2014-05-19T00:31:00

Quite an easy game - I enjoyed it, especially the end of level sound. I liked the fact that this game wasn't as unforgiving as the arcade classic.

Beneath The Lab by Techblogogy 2014-04-29T17:27:00

Mind boggling - I love the mechanics and the puzzles which I haven't managed to beat yet, but will definitely come back and finish your game!

Smoldering Star by Mikhail Lyubimov 2014-05-04T22:27:00

Awesome visuals, excellent music, and innovative approach to mechanics. Second best so far. (The best one is ours of course) ;)

Troubles beneath the surface by archaeometrician 2014-05-19T00:18:00

One of my favorite entries I've rated - I liked the art style - a mix of 3D and 2D was interesting, and there was a number of cool mechanics and things to keep track of. Great entry!

My Friend The Werewolf by AmmarAlsharekh 2014-05-19T00:52:00

Nice and simple entry - a classic adventure game, that reminded me of Dizzy. Well done!

Scratch Ticket Fate by XenosNS 2014-05-19T00:33:00

Yaaaay! I can't believe people who do this actually exist ;)

Let's go to the Mole ! by kikaz 2014-05-19T01:06:00

Well polished game. I couldn't really understand the mechanics at first - it could use a simple explanation or a tutorial at the start.

Tick Attack by hanoth 2014-05-19T00:35:00

I'm never going camping...

Defend the Surface by zeal 2014-05-19T00:10:00

This one made me laugh - simple controls, and ridiculous graphics and sound ;)

(HTML5) Under YOUR Skin by luisfelipeart 2014-05-04T16:47:00

The controls made this game harder than it needed to be. Overall - it's a good use of the theme.

Mad Bunny by BigRat 2014-05-04T17:05:00

This was too hard for me. I couldn't even beat the start of the first level.

Buried Beneath the Credits by Frozen Ninja 2014-04-29T22:53:00

I wasn't sure if there was any goal in the game. This isn't really my thing.

No Eyes Willy by blockbot 2014-04-29T17:23:00

Would play on phone when sitting on a toilet (a good thing!). I like the simple and engaging single click/tap mechanics.

Crucitas adventures by The-nameless-kompany 2014-04-29T22:49:00

Nice little fun game, you should really work on this idea and port it to phones or tablets. This could be a nice time killer!

Unblocker Man by Rzial 2014-04-29T22:43:00

I like your art style and how you used the theme - simple and a fun game, although I couldn't hear any sounds and the game could really use some.

Angler: Beneath the Surface by HelloWorld Studios 2014-04-30T19:48:00

From mloteczka: The sound is awesome, especially the nom nom sound. I love what fishes say when they're eaten. I always wanted to be a fish

Pizza Delivery LD29 by dusho 2014-04-29T22:46:00

Fun lunar lander with a twist. I love the crude art style, and the controls - they feel really good!

Underwall by sickmentalnerd 2014-05-19T00:39:00

I liked both the graphics, and the music. It was nice to see these little animations. The game itself is a bit tricky and hard, at least for me.

Farmer Sam's Grub Grab by cavf88 2014-05-19T00:21:00

This is just a simple gambling game with a nice background tune ;)

Fish by maloki 2014-04-29T23:00:00

Simple, pleasant and relaxing game - I like how you put together very simple mechanics and turned it into a relaxing game. Give it some more polish and release it for phones!

Underminers Inc. by quadtree 2014-05-19T00:59:00

Wow, very impressive - an RTS with a working AI. I love it!

Run, Run, Robot by kirbytails7 2014-05-19T01:03:00

Make it a phone game, please! I like the idea of signal delay - a simple way to make the game progressively harder.

Bound by the Ground by small trouble 2014-05-04T17:01:00

This is a really hard game to play.
