Was hoping for some climbing puzzles or something involving the iron blocks, but I think I just held up+right for the whole thing. Quite charming though, and I enjoyed talking to the people along the way.
I couldn't see it initially, started the game just by mashing the keyboard and then had to go through the whole keyboard to find which button was "talk".
I liked the pixel art and talking to the tiny people. Some more gameplay elements would be great, like helping the tiny people, or trying not to crush them, however I did enjoy just progressing along to see what the next little man had to say :)
The concept is fun and the aesthetics are alright, but the game needs more conflict either with enemies of some sort or the environment itself. If not that than make the climbing more fun somehow. I felt like I could power through the entire game by holding right and up. When you introduced iron you had a really good opportunity to add some interesting climbing puzzles, but nothing really came of it. All that said, cute game, those little guys have spunk, and the idea of a giant landing on a tiny world is pretty cool, I just wish it were fleshed out a little more.
Great job for a first entry, I actually felt compelled to try to reach the end and talk to every tiny character. All it needed was some challenge to make it a perfect first entry! Welcome to Ludum Dare, hope you stay with us for future editions!
Amusing dialogues, nice game in general. Graphics are okay. Not complaining here, but a background would have come in handy in making the game prettier. Also, can we hope for a more thoroung use of the climbing mechanic on a future release? It felt pretty smooth, and was really fun!

For a post-compo version I'd like to see more gameplay.
