What should I say...

I came in expecting a joke game, and did not expect to that level of badness.
Even if your original project didn't see the light of day this project will go down in the history of Ludum Dare.

Congratulations!

@raphael Thanks I guess.

You kind of have to be apart of the people making it to get the humor I guess. Either way, I gained a lot of knowledge from this project, and can use this to produce better games in the future.
Side note, If you hold A on the controller at the start for 10 seconds or so, then let go, you can actually almost get to another planet.

I'll actually be taking some time to make the game I wanted to make during this Ludum Dare, as I feel it does have some potential.

Thanks for the congratulations anyway, I played your game a while ago and it was pretty decent. Keep up the good work, and one day maybe your game will go down in Ludum Dare history ^_^

@cartographer My original comment wasn't meant to be mean if it came across that way.

My first Ludum Dare game was also riddled with bugs and problems (Game Dev is hard), it was barely playable!

I am wishing you best of luck turning your original idea into a game! :grin:

_(PS: send me a link to your game once it's playable, I'd love to take a look at it)_

I played this on Livestream Today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGr9VAOjIQs

The faces I saw... the horror...

I wasn't able to play, no XBox controller, but I did get mentally scarred for life so kudos.
