Shown is a screenshot of my game from the end of today. The game mechanics are fully operational, and tomorrow I&#8217;m just going to be adding sounds and graphical polish.<\/p>\n <p>My original plan was to just enter the Jam. But this is FAR more than I ever expected to have at this point, so I think I&#8217;m going to attempt to go for the Compo instead. I&#8217;m excited and thrilled with how well everything has come together. I think the key to my success was that I was willing to embrace the idea of putting a twist on a classic game. That let me spend a lot less time figuring out basic mechanics, and focus that time on getting it working well.<\/p>","time":"December 13th, 2015 1:33 am","title":"I was going for Jam\u2026"}
