August 24th-27th 2012 :: Theme: Evolution
Game name: LimiT
Game Controls: left right for movement/z or up to jump
This was my first actual LD48 that I'm competing. I put in a great deal of time into making this game. I hope you enjoy!
All of the sprites in this game were created within the time frame (You'll notice the decline in the quality ;_; my wrist is all swollen)
SOURCE: I used Construct2 as for the programming part of my game. So I attached the project files without the graphics

Rant
I hate hate hate hate hate programming. I hate it so much. Especially this weekend I couldn't even think how certain game mechanic works on Construct2. So I pitched several ideas like abilities gain after each evolution. ;_;
You can also notice the terrible animation coding. All I can do is draw so I used my 150% effort on graphics.
Again thanks for playing!

The best graphics I seen by now in the 48hour competition. And the game final.. is a bit scary o_o
Wonderful graphics and great job with the theme! I'm inspired by the time and effort you spent on the graphics. It's beautiful.
I really like this concept a lot, and yeah the ending is crazy, but definitely not in a bad way :)
The graphics are amazing! And the game is actually pretty fun! Congrats on a fun game :D
Great stuff. I let out a little "woo" of joy when I finished it! Well done
I will chip in too and say that the graphics are very nice. I really liked the "visibility" effect of the different evolved states.
Probably one of the best graphics in this competition. The final segment of the game I found hilarious. Overall I enjoyed the game the entire time I played. Wished it was a bit longer but hey what can you ask for given it WAS just 48 hours.
This game was wonderful! I particularly enjoyed exploring the little world this game takes place in.
Great graphics! I know the frame is part of the game, but the design is a bit distracting with those gradients. It had some bugs with the jumping that prevented me from totally enjoying the game. Needs balancing, the bar runs out too fast! In general it's a nice idea, I hope you can dedicate some more time to polish it up a bit, could be an awesome game. Congrats! :D
Great game and graphics! Very cool idea. Last level is very nice.
Hands down best graphics! Good sense of progress and goal while playing, kept me engaged until the end, which turned out to be a satisfying Space Odyssey 2001 -inspired (?) piece of art. Real game with a beginning and and, easy to figure out how to play.
INTERESTING although the ending was kinda just like "Hold left to win"
STILL COOL GOOD JOB KEEP IT UP
This art is PHENOMENAL!!!! The best pixel art I've ever seen on Ludum Dare, I'd give Graphics 6 if I could :P
The art is really nice. To bad there's no sound. I would have liked to hear that guy/thing munching those bushes. Well done.
I like the way you integrated the theme into the gameplay. Not being able to jump was a bit confusing at first, but then I thought about the theme and I understood it :)
The graphics are great. Very impressive for 48 hours.
The game was kind of short, but there's nothing wrong with that.
I love it
eating galaxies is quite fun as well - but the underlying philosophical meaning is what makes it shine
well done
Cute game goes freaky! Very nice indeed. I really like the small details like the fact that you have to face stuff to be able to eat it.
Great artwork. Gameplay is a bit too monotonous. It would be interesting to see you expand on the levels to make the player work and think a bit more to evolve to the next stage. The ending was quite interesting!
Graphics were great, loved the shading detail in the idle animation. Could use some sound though
Pretty interesting game! Nice art. Got a little repetetive in the beginning. End game is pretty weird ;)
Concept is really really good, the art is freaking awesome, 5 stars to that for sure. Had fun, but it kinda ended abruptly. It's kinda scary too :D
awesome job
My new favorite!
This is really great, from the start to the end!
Really great work, love the fluid animations. At first I was a little confused by the small screen, but love how the view area opened up as the player evolved. Reminded me almost of Katamari Damaci, constantly growing till you consume the universe. Well done!
Incredible graphics! An impressive amount of graphical assets. Especially good job on the last scene. Galaxies are hard to draw well in pixel art. The level design is actually very well thought out, even though there wasn't much to it.
I actually liked the animation. It was enjoyable watching the creature grow/evolve into new forms. I felt like I was stuck in the beginning area for most of the game, and then it ended abruptly, saying I had reached my limit. I wasn't really sure what to make of that.
Excellent graphics and awesome narrative at the end. The sight-limiting mechanic was a nice touch. The 3rd stage dino-esque evolution made me laugh. He just looks so goofy!
This is a game that I wanted to make but didn't have the amazing graphic skills that you have. Hats off.
<3
Just loved your pixel art, (that first guy we play is insanely cute, I wanna pet him).
Idea and the humor at the end is amazing too.
All I can say is some bacground music.
Overall, Excellent job!
Despite the difficulties you faced with programming made in your comment youve done a really good job, congrats, very enjoyable game
Amazing graphics done in a short time! I didn't have any sound come through though? Also if there was enough time, more levels would have been great.
Awesome, awesome game. Sure, the gameplay starts to get a bit repetitive in the dino phase but the graphics are sooo goooooood and the ending is both scary and interesting at the same time :) The evolution of the creature is amazing! Great work!
It looks really pretty! Well done on your art. Some really weird symbolic storytelling going on, too. Needed sound, though.
Great art + something innovative in the gameplay = awesome game!
Really nice pixel art ! Simple and colorful :)
It's really amazing for something done in only 48h (minus sleep/break) !
Great art, polished platform mechanics. Impressive for such a short amount of time!
Really like the artwork. Concept is neat and I had a lot of fun playing. To bad there's no sound.
Liked the twist.
One of the best combination of fun / production value / theme interpretation, i've played so far. Very nice work!
Amazing! I think I got as far as I could go but I was a bit sad to get the same game over screen as before. Amazing entry though!
What a masterpiece! Graphics are great, idea is very cool. Only if it would be a bit longer! Congrats!
I'm really fascinated of your visual skills. As you mentioned in your intro-text, there are problems with animations. Sometimes items disappear. Another part is the gameplay: There should be a competition like avoiding gaps (to fall in) or enemies to avoid. As I said above.... I'm _really_ fascinated respective the graphics.
Do you have a blog or something like that where I can see what projects you worked or you are working?
Really nice pixel art and animation. Gameplay is a little shallow, but the crazy ending makes up for it. Nice work!
Amazing graphics, the landscape is stunning. I also like how your field of view improve and your jumping ability with each stage.
Best graphics I have seen for any 2D game so far and no other has even come close, the game itself was also very good. 5 Star Graphics! :)
The last bit was, uh, a slightly different tone to the rest. Very nice graphics, and well paced so it kept interesting.
I like the idea of the limit. But yes, the end was kinda scary. (Btw great graphics)
@Jeremias just follow me on twitter I usually dump everything there :D
and thank you everyone <33333
That was fun. Liked how the view is limited at first, but widened out as you evolve. I was cracking up at the last portion. I think I spotted a few animation errors, mainly from a programming perspective, such as walking while eating. Just little things that didn't hinder the experience, and the art was so well done that it's forgivable.
Awesome job. The game may have been a little easy (you can stand next to the spawn until moving to the next "level"), but I really enjoyed it. As others have said, the ending was great and the graphics were beautiful. Great work!
Ending. At least I think I hit the ending. Just a little, odd. Great graphics!
It was great. Graphics are awesome! The gameplay was rather boring, but the creature grew up quickly so it was quite fun.
The end was really unexpected.
Fun, great graphics, overall best game I played here so far :)
what? you hate hate hate hate programming? then you should consider making a jam entry next time with someone who loves lvoes loves loves programming ;)
Brilliant graphics, you're so much talented in pixel-art.
Despite the game itself is a bit boring and not challenging enough I really liked the ending, which is beautiful.
Good job!
Audio would have been nice, but the graphics are great. Liked how the perspective changed as the player got bigger.
Haha, it felt really scary when you were eating like planets, and galaxies and in the end the universe, great mood points for that.
Beautiful graphical style and animation! The ending was surprisingly creepy and thought provoking.
Super nice work. Really amazing atmosphere, graphics were fantastic, and it's one of the few HTML5 games I've played that has felt this good. Really nice work.
Awesome graphics. The game has its atmosphere and is very addictive. I would love more levels of this :).
Awesome work
Im not really sure if i reached the end of the game, nice graphics and concept.
Wow, I adored the art style for this! The ending kinda spooked me, but I thought it was very interesting indeed. The game mechanics are a bit bland, but I think they would end up like that if you put so much effort into the graphics. :) Great Job! :D
Wow, awesome! One of the best ones I've seen so far! Good job!
Wonderful graphics, and wonderful use of the theme. Really quite a gem, I really enjoyed playing it. The mechanics are straightforward but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing in this case.
I liked the idea of cutting the camera and open as the char grows, the animations and graphics are cool, i miss some sounds and music.
There is no limit man.
Amazing art style and palette. And the creatures are so adorable! One of the few games I played multiple times. Love it :)
some graphic glitches on my browser but great gfx.
well done :)
Nice graphics and concept, took a moment to figure out where I was supposed to be going, but managed to finish it. Damn that was one disturbing ending.
Nice concept, and pretty graphics.
Required a decent effort to complete.
Thanks
Awesome story!!! I like the ending. It is so philosophical! It would be awesome with audio! Nice job!
Nicest Sprites I have seen so far, awesome design (music is nice too :).
I got stuck in a wall once but could finish it on second try.
Woha, awesome graphics! And the idea of a limited field of view was brilliant, good job!
Cool concept, would've been nice to see more intermediate stages before the conclusion but there's a limit to how much can be done in 48 hours :)
An impressive journey you have here. Stellar graphics and unexpected conclusion. Really liked it all.
Gameplay there isn't much, and I find it slightly suffers from the lack of any kind of audio to heighten the moments.
Great job still.
Beautifully designed game with very pretty art!
I loved the simple concept and the way I was encouraged to continually interact with the environment.
Pacing between each stage got a bit slow sometimes, as there was often only one thing to consume per stage. That was well worth it though, as the final stage was amazing. I was very amused!
Audio would have been nice, but your amazing art more than makes up for it.
Graphics really are amazing all the way through, you should be really pleased! Gameplay is interesting and that ending was strange but in a good way. Really love the way this looks and the animation all the way through
Graphics were excellent, gameplay was alright. The graphics make up for the gameplay. Interesting concept, though.
Woooow, awesome entry! My current number one as for story, graphics and coolnes! Deep shit with the ending :)
One of the best entries I've seen so far. Stuck to the theme, great art, great game play, game has a satisfying ending. Just ticks all the boxes.
I loved the graphics. Game lacked sound but everything else was near spot-on. Great job!
Wow, just wow. I couldn't create graphics that good even if i had a week. though a walking animation would have been nice.
That was very nicely done and was really fun for me. Good job.
Wow lots of comments here. If you are anything like me you are reading each and every one though :) Loved the graphics, they are amazing! Even without sound this game conveyed a great mood but I think music/sound could have added a lot more to it. The gameplay was a little lacking but I didn't really mind because the tone of the game kept me interested. I found the ending a bit creepy so it's quite impressive you managed to get that emotion out of me in the time you had. I think with a tiny bit more polish and introduction of sound this game could be a really special experience.
Amazing graphics. You may hate programming, but you still did an awesome job. The platforming elements feel very solid, and I love the way the creature evolves. It's a very peaceful platformer. :)
Amazing graphics!
It's really missing sounds and a better ending I guess ^^
nice concept. sometimes when jumping on platforms the character would freeze and you had to move left/right to unfreeze him, but all in all, good work.
Nice work with a nice twist at the end, but also the best animation I have ever seen in a LD game.
Graphically very well made, pretty fun too but short. The lack of sound is quite a disappointment and would really have gone well with the rest of the game but oh well.
the best game i have seen so far.
the pixelart is amazing! you did all this in the 48h? i am impressed!
I love the animations of the entities; espcially the bird and the tail-wacking of the dinosaur. I love the ending. I love the general fell of the controls and the mood in general. i think sound could have added a lot to this; but hey: its only 48h and you have to compromise on something if you have such high-polished pixel-art...
super polished- great ideas went into this. I loved how as you evolved you got a bigger screen vision window as well. Nice work!
The graphics were nice to look at. I liked the concept. It was also nice how the level was tiny, and had a variety of unique objects, which made it interesting and fun to move around in.
The graphics are good but not perfect. Sound is missing. The concept is very obvious (eating stuff to evolve), I don't like this.
Cool idea for the end.
The game is really cool, although there's no music the game is superb because of the beatiful graphics!
Cool idea. I'm hoping for a bigger area to find more food so I don't have to wander around the same area constantly. Otherwise, I could see some great potential with this work.
Really nice game!
Very nice graphics, and lovely animations.
And also fun to play, even if very easy.
You did a great Job!
I liked the art, and I was disappointed that I could not get past the second stage, the jumping creature.
Nice job! The last level felt a bit out of place however and the bird kept flying the same exact path which made it too easy to just farm it. I would have tried to implement some sort of puzzle type thing to force you to work towards something while maintaining your food level instead of just focusing entirely on maxing your food intake.
Cute game. It's repetitive but I like the sense of progression and the sprites are great.
Nicely executed and fit the theme :) would have love a bit more gameplay and some sounds !

It shows that you put a lot of effort into graphics :) The concept is neat too, the final level is great :D
