Day 4 (Afternoon) - finished!
Well, I finally did it. I completed Ludum Dare. Not as easy as it appeared at first glance, that's for sure.
I realized last-minute that I forgot to add dying into the game. I quickly added it, then discovered that my SFML stopped working and I couldn't build anymore. I didn't have the time nor patience to fix it, so there's no dying in the game. Oh well. It's hard to die anyway.
To celebrate the occasion, have some screenshots:

Also, if you'd like to play the game, you can find it here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/platform-fighters
I very well might be participating in LD42...hopefully I'll be able to figure out SFML by then. Until then, I guess it's time to play other people's games and get my Coolness up!
