Have you ever wondered what it would be like to move into a shwanky medieval castle? Well, the new Duke of Walesbury has done just that. While the old castle is a lovely sight to behold, he's found the subterranean floors lacking the same charming demeanor of the upstairs. Particularly one annoying feature, there are spikes jutting out of the ceiling, walls and floors. That just won't do. Before the Duke can let his Cocker spaniel, David, run free and invite guests over he is going to have to disarm these spikes.

Happily, he finds that the residences of Walesbury are more than happy to assist their newly appointed lord. And so, the Duke invites them to help with the disarmament. The only problem is that his plans mostly center around using the spikes rather than removing them. Will you sacrifice your fellow peasants in order to help the Duke make his house fashionably morose, but safe?

Play Hazardous Clean Up, my entry in LD43, to find out. The video above is a short post mortem I put together for the game. Nothing necessarily insightful, but it provides a little glimpse at how and why the game became what it did. Ludum Dare was incredibly fun this go around, and I sincerely hope that I will be able to participate in future ones as well.
