My Little Friends is the story of a Big Robot in a tiny world. Protect your little friends from the bad things that come from the sky.

Edit: Theres definitely a bug with you not getting a game over screen if your little friends die after day one. I can see exactly what ive missed in the code but I guess its not in the spirit of the competition to fix it so I'll wait until the judging is over.

Thanks for all the reviews so far!

Loved the robot's narration, gave the game a lot of character. I killed the final boss, though no-one was left alive. Poor lonely robot.

Loved the punishment/reward system of this game :)

This game reminds me to a movie I watched ;) Very funny !

It said 'I managed to save the tiny people' at the end, BUT they were already completely dead.

Cute. Smart and funny. And fun!

I found the main mechanic of having to jump to precise heights to hit the UFOs a bit frustrating, but I loved the robot. Some really nice writing there :)

Daaawwww, that was cute :)
I didn't have much reason to leave the starting platform though, only when they started dipping below my firing line.

After five days, it told me I'd saved the tiny people, despite the fact that they'd all died a day or two earlier :) Pretty fun though.

very charming game

Lovely main character <3 The feel of being a huge metal thing is well reflected at gameplay.

Like ishisoft, I killed the boss though I had crushed all my tiny human friends... It was fun to play :)

I love the way the breakdown of your scores for the day reads like the robot's diary. I think this robot has some issues! Fun game.

Polished mechanics, fun to play :) Good job!

I loved the tiny people shouting "Yay" :D

In my attempt the robot was more dangerous to mankind then the aliens were. :) Liked it

Heh, nice game. I gave you some humor points because I accidentally murdered like half my population on the first day without really thinking about it. In the end, I managed to kill the boss, but no little civilians were left. :(

Awesome narration and graphics too!! I love it :).. Very good game!! I appreciate how you've treated the theme of "tiny world" ;)

ilo25 Apr 2012, 23:01

Yay! Fun game. Nice clean aesthetic. Tiny bug - you can squish people after defeating all the enemies without the game counting it.

Cool game. The history and mechanics is very creative and simple. This game fits ludum dare like a charm. Awesome entry.

That's pretty good. I wish the humans would try to stay where it's safe... of course then the buildings would need to slowly destruct.
