Postmortem
Start of this LD was a bit rough because I didn't like the theme at all. I was aiming for the jam so I said to myself that I will start drawing/coding something and maybe the idea will come up. Eventually I ended up with the house and point&click style walking game. Idea about the actual gameplay came up very-early on the submission day :-) From then on I was drawing and coding straight up to the submission hour. I thought it will end up badly because I had only one level and the game wasn't winnable until the last moments before submission :-) I took my last strenght and made the winning possible. But I still ended up only with one level. The lesson for me is that it is possible to create a game even if the theme is really bad for me. However it may not be easy. And of course I still have to learn how to draw and create any sound :-)
Hope everybody enjoyed this LD and survived the server problems during the submission.

Overall, I think you did a great job, considering the time you had.
With some polish and extra work, this could become something really challenging and fun.
And thanks for playing my game! I rated your game too how I promised.
