tiny Accident by LDJam user 277625

[raw]
made by LDJam user 277625 for Ludum Dare 56 (JAM)

The player is a mad genius and built a machine that could scale him down, but in an accident the machine misfires and he is shrunken down. Only his friend, other than him, knows how to run that machine. The player must reach his phone to call him. Screenshot 2024-10-08 003132.png

It sounds like a fun concept to half to walk a little maze and parkour around stuff. But I think it's a bit sad that you instantly die if you touch an ant and that there are no checkpoints. At some point I got stuck and couldn't finish. Lots of objects are missing colliders and there are invisible walls here and there... that wasn't too fun

This was super fun! It was a race against the clock and I loved that!

I really liked the music that came in once you saw the giant ants! art was fantastic. I couldn't get passed the 3rd ant :( I tried a lot

The aesthetic was cool, but omg the ants were such a jumpscare. I'm not great with bugs so a warning would've been nice. Otherwise its fun!

A simple and fun little game idea, and I had fun trying your game. Avoiding the ants was a bit too difficult for me, but it was fun trying.

Despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a... maze. On my first attempt I thought I'd absolutely smashed my way through the maze but then I realised I'd just gotten turned around and had exited through the entrance back to where I started. Eventually I got the hang of it, but I was just hopeless at avoiding the ants. Overall, a difficult but fun game!

It's a good idea. I got stuck after the 3rd ant and couldn't continue, but putting that aside, it's very appealing.

Very cool aesthetic and pretty intense. The camera could have been a little less "twitchy" for my taste

You've done a great job of capturing that feeling of being tiny. The tension was also handled well. Ending is definitely a skill check lol, I wish it was a bit easier.

Mouse sensetivity was hard to control, but overall a fun experience

Nice one! Couldnt get past the ants! A little visual feedback on failure would be good for clarity. The first time or two the ants caught me was when they were behind me so I didnt see what happened and I was teleported back to the start. Just a lil confusing but still a fun obstacle course!

Good fun! Would be nice if the controls were a little less sensitive because it was so easy to slip and then lose your place in the maze. Would be nice to have some indication I failed when I ran into the ant.

Cool idea for a game, there is a lot this could be turned into with this base I think you should keep on this.

Interesting idea connected with the theme. I liked how the music signifies you're being chased and adding the ants was a great choice to highlight the small scale of the character. My gf said the game reminds her of It Takes Two and she also liked the concept! Great job!

Fun, but way too hard for me, I got stuck on the 1st ant. The camera lens effect is interesting, it really feels like you were under influence from some drug. I noticed that you can fall to the floor and just keep falling (there could be a respawn).

It was a fun game. The camera effect was cool, but i feel like it was a bit overdone in the maze part. Cool game!

For some reason, I can't rate it on ldjam.

Cute idea, though the clock ticking was stressful in the background haha. I liked the visuals but found it a bit frustrating that I couldn't do a 360 with the camera as my mouse would just stop at the edge of the screen so I would have to turn all the way back again often.

Very fun, very "realistic"? Something in the camera atmosphere that feels very nice haha :smile:. Can't pass the third ant -.-. Nice music for the ants :joy: Well done!

I liked the fisheye camera effect, and the music that comes in when the ant shows up. I played a couple of times but couldn't get past the 3rd ant like others said. I think it's because the ants can pass through objects (I noticed an ant passing through the green pencil). Would love to see the game further developed tho!

such a nice idea! i liked the camera perspective effect, or lens, whatever you call it. haven't seen it being used a lot in games, and the gameplay itself was quite fun! great job :)

Cool idea, the maze was a little tough to navigate with quite high mouse sensitivity, and though I could make it past the pencil, I couldn't figure how to get past the ants, :cry:

If you make an expanded version of the game, some checkpoints would be a cool addition perhaps. :smile:

Nice idea, I especially like the graphics, it's a nice compromise between very realistic and cartoony. However, I always get stuck at one point and couldn't find the way to the finish.

Friggin scary! :skull_crossbones: I liked the lens distortion, it made the maze much more difficult and fun. Very effective jump scares! And that comes from someone who doesn't like them in general. Nice job :sunglasses:
