0x17's-TinyWorld by 0x17
Okay so this is it. My first Ludum Dare Entry. I used the theme as game name throughout development and now I'm too lazy to change that so I just called it Tiny World with my username as prefix.
Controls:
- Left&Right for horizontal movement and Up/Space for jumping.
- Escape to go back to world overview or quit game.
- Return to enter selected world in world overview screen.
On Android tap on the left/right border of the screen to run left/right and tap both left&right borders at the same time for jumping. Press the back button on your device to return to the world overview.
Difficulty:
Easy -> small inertia, no spikes
Normal, Hard, Impossible -> growing inertia, with spikes.
The jar should run fine on all desktops (Win/Mac/Linux) with a Java VM installed.
Web&Android ports were done after the compo. The web version should run on recent versions of Firefox and Chrome. Android version was only tested on my HTC Desire so far. Hopefully works more or less on other devices.
Since I couldn't come up with a great idea to fit the theme I just used a small planet as a level/world overview as rationale/excuse. The game itself is quite hard (maybe not in a good way) and the controls are erratic to say the least.
I also put the source on bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/0x17/tinyworld
Not sure if I'll write a postmortem. :-D

The music wasn't really to my taste but suited the feel of the game. In fact, the whole things feels pretty polished - nice job!
Great job on completing your first LD! It's a great accomplishment!
