The changing colors in the background are especially nice, and the way the camera rotates too. I like that you did procedural levels too.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Without a clear objective it feels more like a toy than a game.

Other tools included vim, make, a ballpoint pen, and irssi (at least while I could still join #ludumdare).\r\n\r\nIt is possible the OS X version has some linking issues (it may be dynamically linked to some libraries when it should be statically linked to them).
