My main goal was to focus on momentum and speed being central to the game loop and dictating how well the player does. At the same time, I wanted the player to have to work to maintain momentum.\n\nThe most challenging part was creating the momentum system, as well as adding enough squish so that it's not satisfying to move around without some momentum. That took a lot of iteration, and there's about four or five different effects that go into making the difference between no momentum and some momentum very noticable.","title":"EmailMadness","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/366001+366002+366003+366004+366005+366006+366007+366008+366009+366010+366011+366012+366013+366014+366015+366016+366017+366018+366019+366020+366021+366022+366023+366024+366025+366026+366027+366028+366029+366030+366031+366032+366033+366034+366035+366036+366037+366038+366039+366040+366041+366042+366043+366044+366045+366046+366047+366048+366049+366050+366051+366052+366053+366054+366055+366056+366057+366058+366059+366060+366061+366062+366063+366064+366065+366066+366067+366068+366069+366070+366071+366072+366073+366074+366075+366076+366077+366078+366079+366080+366081+366082+366083+366084+366085+366086+366087+366088+366089+366090+366091+366092+366093+366094+366095+366096+366097+366098+366099+366100+366101+366102+366103+366104+366105+366106+366107+366108+366109+366110+366111+366112+366113+366114+366115+366116+366117+366118+366119+366120+366121+366122+366123+366124+366125+366126+366127+366128+366129+366130+366131+366132+366133+366134+366135+366136+366137+366138+366139+366140+366141+366142+366143+366144+366145+366146+366147+366148+366149+366150+366151+366152+366153+366154+366155+366156+366157+366158+366159+366160+366161+366162+366163+366164+366165+366166+366167+366168+366169+366170+366171+366172+366173+366174+366175+366176+366177+366178+366179+366180+366181+366182+366183+366184+366185+366186+366187+366188+366189+366190+366191+366192+366193+366194+366195+366196+366197+366198+366199+366200+366201+366202+366203+366204+366205+366206+366207+366208+366209+366210+366211+366212+366213+366214+366215+366216+366217+366218+366219+366220+366221+366222+366223+366224+366225+366226+366227+366228+366229+366230+366231+366232+366233+366234+366235+366236+366237+366238+366239+366240+366241+366242+366243+366244+366245+366246+366247+366248+366249+366250+366251+366252+366253+366254+366255+366256+366257+366258+366259+366260+366261+366262+366263+366264+366265+366266+366267+366268+366269+366270+366271+366272+366273+366274+366275+366276+366277+366278+366279+366280+366281+366282+366283+366284+366285+366286+366287+366288+366289+366290+366291+366292+366293+366294+366295+366296+366297+366298+366299+366300+366301+366302+366303+366304+366305+366306+366307+366308+366309+366310+366311+366312+366313+366314+366315+366316+366317+366318+366319+366320+366321+366322+366323+366324+366325+366326+366327+366328+366329+366330+366331+366332+366333+366334+366335+366336+366337+366338+366339+366340+366341+366342+366343+366344+366345+366346+366347+366348+366349+366350+366351+366352+366353+366354+366355+366356+366357+366358+366359+366360+366361+366362+366363+366364+366365+366366+366367+366368+366369+366370+366371+366372+366373+366374+366375+366376+366377+366378+366379+366380+366381+366382+366383+366384+366385+366386+366387+366388+366389+366390+366391+366392+366393+366394+366395+366396+366397+366398+366399+366400+366401+366402+366403+366404+366405+366406+366407+366408+366409+366410+366411+366412+366413+366414+366415+366416+366417+366418+366419+366420+366421+366422+366423+366424+366425+366426+366427+366428+366429+366430+366431+366432+366433+366434+366435+366436+366437+366438+366439+366440+366441+366442+366443+366444+366445+366446+366447+366448+366449+366450+366451+366452+366453+366454+366455+366456+366457+366458+366459+366460+366461+366462+366463+366464+366465+366466+366467+366468+366469+366470+366471+366472+366473+366474+366475+366476+366477+366478+366479+366480+366481+366482+366483+366484+366485+366486+366487+366488+366489+366490+366491+366492+366493+366494+366495+366496+366497+366498+366499+366500?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/95\/95a253ba1ee88f6be9d2b080062fd47725aa3da1990f50ea5d8902d42552912a","record":"shard-3\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/c15325828176a917c8b9d984db596c9c241f1bf7d601e9482be8c32737fbc739.json","sha256":"95a253ba1ee88f6be9d2b080062fd47725aa3da1990f50ea5d8902d42552912a","source":"https","stored_at":1784022463}}
