Phew, done!
Finished with an hour and a half to spare! Had fun with this one... if anyone remembers that classic "I Love Lucy" scene where they are in the factory and having to eat all of the candies as they come flowing out of the machine... that's kind of the inspiration I went with for my entry. I have a feeling the "fun" factor of the game is going to be still a bit low for my liking, but I think it added some variety as compared to my LD 39 entry (mainly with the addition of some power-ups). Anyways, pretty happy with how the game turned out, especially considering all of the real life obstacles that kept popping up this weekend. Ah well, what can you do.
You can play my game here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/$52314
I'll work on a post-mortem on this later, I think, and see what I can do to improve even more. Good luck to everyone else and look forward to playing some of the games you guys came up with!
