I wanted to do something a bit different than what I figured the average interpretation of the theme would be, i.e. having a stationary camera with all gameplay within it's field of view. Instead, my goal was to create a game with a single scene and a single camera. So while some may find this to be contrary to the theme, I respectfully disagree.

This is my first ludum dare entry, and I had a blast making it!

Tools I used:

Unity - Engine
Pen and Paper - Sketching characters
My iPhone Camera - Capturing sketches and paper textures
Photoshop - Graphics editing
After Effects - Character animations (extensive use of puppet pin tool)
Garageband - Music
