"You play a lone survivor aboard a makeshift raft adrift in the vast ocean, looking for civilization. Avoid the sharks! Find civilization before time runs out and you go crazy, therefor, jumping into the ocean and ending your so called life! Will you survive the terrors of the ocean? Will insanity take over your mind? You are on your own in the tiny world that is your raft..."
My first game made on my own. Bad code, no skills, but you gotta start somewhere!
Hi! First game? Impressive!! I love the art (I like the black and white art and you've achieve great effects). To make it more challenging I would put some items/modifiers. Congratulations!
I thought this was neat! Excellent graphical style, nice Gameboy-esque palette. It reminded me a bit of Jaws on the NES! The sharks are very brutal.
So you say you cut three quarters of the features- does that mean you might flesh this out with some more stuff? I'd be interested to see the kind of things were cut, if you do come back to it! :)
Thanks for the comments guys. Tao: It's out there, you just have to find it! Orgarus: I had items originally planned but couldn't figure out how to implement them correctly so I moved on Moth: I was thinking of going back and adding the missing features, but it wouldn't be until post-LD.
Very nice game indeed. Made me feel like crossing a highway on foot :D But i didn't unterstand what to do. I reached Northern end Western borders and still found nothing.
Annoying as all hell trying to win! I gave up, but really enjoyed it! Graphics style is great, very minimalistic, but impacting when you get nommed. Needs some sounds, even just an ambient ocean sound would be cool!
Title screen and gameover screens are great, with some sounds fx it would be the perfect game packaging :) Game objective is not very interesting but avoiding shark is fun enough to play 3-5 minutes.

And I think isolation is a great interpretation of 'Tiny World'.
This was also my first LD - good feeling knowing you finished your first one, eh?
But great job - solid gameplay :)
For example, a Northern felt pretty easy, a Straight South route felt incredibly difficult (25ish deaths in 10 minutes)
