Post-Mortem

My first LD competition. 72 hours passes quickly. I had intended to have more features, more power-ups, and to have the grey-bearded dude actually do something, but no time. Ultimately had no time for balancing, or to compose decent music, refine the artwork, convert the WAV audio to OGG, etc.

Wasted a lot of time just getting a build environment set up, and then learning Phaser.IO features. Even though I've worked with Typescript before, it isn't my daily language, so I made an embarrassing number of beginner mistakes, including the traditional "what do you mean this isn't this?!"
