Unless this was a personal challenge however I would look into using an engine for future jams like LibGDX, you will find you can get a lot nicer product out within the allotted time. \r\rAlso in a game jam its not how well structured your code that matters: unfortunately that is not a category for rating! Jam code is usually messy and uncommented as hell (at least mine is). Additionally if you want us to peak at your code try uploading to something like github so its easier for the public to peak at."},{"author_name":"Sogomn","author_uid":"40005","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 3:31pm","epoch":1429543560,"text":"Thank you for the review. Well. It's a sword with balls.\rYeah I thought about using a library but for some reason I don't like it.
