The game I set out to write was, in fact, a racing \/ roguelike mashup instead of a racing \/ text adventure mashup. But between having unexpected technical difficulties trying to manipulate meshes in Unity and getting called into work on what was supposed to be a vacation day, I had to abandon that game. (I might pick it up again later; I think it was a solid concept.) This was a crushing blow, as it would have been the first time I failed to complete a Ludum Dare game since I started participating in LD36.\n\nBut then I had THIS hilarious idea.\n\nI wrote this in the three hours between getting out of the office and the submission deadline. It's not going to win any award for best game (although it might potentially win one for fastest time from conception to completed implementation) but I think the joke is solid enough to score well in the humor category.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"YinYin","author_uid":"1055876","time":"2018-04-24T08:08:20Z","epoch":1524557300,"modified":1524557300,"text":"I wish I could've pressed up for the last command.\n\nBut copy paste did the job as well.

I can't even imagine making a game in that amount of time! And having to work on your vacation day? That just sucks, dude! Your boss better have a good explanation.\n\nThe game itself is pretty monotonous, but I guess that's to be expected given the subject matter. This game reminds me of Desert Bus, or one of those all-white paintings you see go for millions of dollars: A combination of satire, deconstruction of the artform, and a heaping helping of \"my four year old could have done that\"\n\nIn case it wasn't clear, I liked the game.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Jezzamon","author_uid":"1000095","time":"2018-05-13T04:08:55Z","epoch":1526184535,"modified":1526184535,"text":"(SPOILERS)\n\nI am the CHAMPION!!!\n![Screen Shot 2018-05-12 at 21.07.30.png](\/\/\/raw\/f5\/z\/14cd1.png)","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Jezzamon","author_uid":"1000095","time":"2018-05-13T04:10:39Z","epoch":1526184639,"modified":1526184935,"text":"Please don't question my lap times.

Nice one!!\n\nAlso the showHelp function is unimplemented which I find somewhat amusing. I struggled with entering the pit when I first played it actually, I think that's because I turned again without realising it.
