It would probably look better without the grey background behind the buttons, having them simply float above the blue universe background.\rFinally the top bar is totally redundant with the same info in the window.\r\r"Please go away. Quit now, please."

One complaint I have is that if you move right and then left too quickly, it will place you left of your starting point.

It's a very brief game and it's my first one made with Love2d, the Lua based framework (or engine, if you prefer): I used this Ludum Dare to learn its mechanics and some priciples of the Lua language. I lost a little bit of time during the effort but I don't regret anything even though my first purpose was to submit for the compo. Unfortunately on late hours I can't focus my mind so... I had to finish it the day after. But I posted the code, for anyone interested (consider that it's also my first game made without the help of a tool\/visual ide and also consider that I used some cheap solutions like \"copy & paste\", instead of functions, only to complete the job and make it work).\r\nThat's enough. Enjoy!","title":"Post Apocalyptic Postman"}
