The platforming is managable but definitely on the hard side - even in easy mode - and mostly because of the way the control mechanics work, making it easy to bounce off a wall into a sawblade.

I hated this! Sorry! The music was annoying as hell, the sounds were annoying as hell, the movement was annoying as hell! Oh, and I'm not sure how this fits the theme...

I'm probably just a weirdo!"},{"author_name":"0x17","author_uid":"4765","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 10:03pm","epoch":1335304680,"text":"@Nocturne no problem man. Not everyone has the same taste.

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.\r\n\r\nControls:\r\n- Left&Right for horizontal movement and Up\/Space for jumping.\r\n- Escape to go back to world overview or quit game.\r\n- Return to enter selected world in world overview screen.\r\n\r\nOn 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.\r\n\r\nDifficulty:\r\nEasy -> small inertia, no spikes\r\nNormal, Hard, Impossible -> growing inertia, with spikes.\r\n\r\nThe jar should run fine on all desktops (Win\/Mac\/Linux) with a Java VM installed.\r\n\r\nWeb&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.\r\n\r\nSince 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.\r\n\r\nI also put the source on bitbucket: https:\/\/bitbucket.org\/0x17\/tinyworld\r\n\r\nNot sure if I'll write a postmortem. :-D<\/p>","title":"0x17's-TinyWorld"}
