Really helpful for us to know what we can make better for next projects! We wanted to make the game a bit hard because we felt that we wanted to give this community a challenge! We should have made a type of checkpoint or something thought.\r\rIt's interesting that people enjoy to not hurt the tiny villagers that kill the evil ones :P\rMaybe we should continue with this game and polish it and make it more fun?\r\r@shard123 Hrm... it works for me but I could probably add a other mirror.\r\r@netmute That's too bad.

We hope to do a post compo version and fix the darn collision handling and the other bugs! Mac versions will probably not be released, sorry! Due to the fact that this is a game maker game which only supports windows. \r\rI tried to put it up on the sandbox.yoygames.com site for web play but It only gives me an error and says that it only is available too download due to No ActiveX or Firefox support available.

It seems like the game forgets that you're holding right when you try to jump next to a wall. Perhaps the right arrow key is just setting a velocity when pressed and released, so holding it has no meaning?

I love how the game manages to make you feel bad for accidentally crushing all of your tiny friends. The level design was pretty clever at some places as well, placing a lot of innocent people under a collectable so that you really have to try to control your landing. \r\rThe game runs perfectly fine on Linux using Wine. The only problem I had was that the jump mechanic and collision handling seemed kindof buggy. Some times I'd get stuck to walls, some times I tried to jump but nothing happened and some times I tried to jump and it didn't jump as high as it usually does, while it worked fine a few attempts later. \r\rHaving those tiny buggers try to kill you was also a nice twist. It could have used some kind of visual indication when you die tho. I died just as I was about to move to the next level, but since it doesn't tell you, it just looked like you had cheated by placing two identical level in succession. \r\rGreat work!"},{"author_name":"jmaasing","author_uid":"10838","time":"May 6, 2012 @ 7:40pm","epoch":1336332900,"text":"Sorry, couldn't judge since I don't have windows."},{"author_name":"Pacifist Games","author_uid":"10510","time":"May 6, 2012 @ 9:02pm","epoch":1336337820,"text":"Didn't beat it, but I enjoyed what I played. :)\rWish the jumping worked a little bit better."},{"author_name":"Jedi","author_uid":"4799","time":"May 8, 2012 @ 1:18am","epoch":1336439580,"text":"It's a really, really good start but it won't be fun until you fix the way jumping from a standstill works. Also, gamemaker games don't always have working sound on my system so I'm not sure if you have sounds or not but I think the game needs some :).\r\rI really like the way you can kinda roleplay crushing the little guys. You can decide if you want to be good and save as many as possible or evil and crush as many >:). I didn't beat it but it would be cool if you got a score of how many innocents were crushed at the end."},{"author_name":"davidwparker","author_uid":"7737","time":"May 10, 2012 @ 7:48pm","epoch":1336678980,"text":"Sorry, I don't have Windows."}],"images":["ld23\/8389-1d04eee253f02f92a26198497e9897cf.jpg","ld23\/8389-0dee576d7914ebe8824e57a1211a679f.jpg","ld23\/8389-c37497685556f68eb7c4926e885ee175.jpg","ld23\/8389-167018452755f09952b6ddca4dce2ea3.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.dalsit.se\/dalsgames\/games\/AGigantsTale.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/8b1sa21lmmqnd0j\/A%20Giants%20Tale.exe","text":"Mirror 2"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"30348","g_author":"8389","g_event":"LD23","g_eventkey":"10","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"30378","g_title":"Tiny World - A Giants Tale","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"152","g_commentcount":"24","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/123793\/8389-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/123793\/8389-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/123793\/8389-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/123793\/8389-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"This is our entry. \r\nWe thought this twist of the them would be fun!\r\n\r\nYou are a tiny tiny person that has been cursed and has become a giant!
