Small Worlds

I first played “Small Worlds” by David Shute in 2009, and it won CGDC #6. This game has stuck in my mind for three key reasons:

1. Beautiful Pixel Art

The pixel art seems deceptively simple but is incredibly effective at conveying atmosphere and emotion.

2. Compelling Visual Storytelling

The game tells its story entirely through visual scenery without any dialogue, creating a powerful narrative experience.

3. Atmospheric Music

The music by Kevin MacLeod induces “wonder and amazement” that perfectly complements the visual experience.

This game continues to inspire me in my own creative process, demonstrating the power of visual storytelling and minimalist design.
