One way or another I ended up here alone this time. So I decided to convert it into my first Compo – personal mini challenge.<\/p>\n

In short, it was like this:<\/p>\n

(By the word “collisions” I mean the mechanics of the object’s borders detection and the collisions between objects)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

– Woo-hoo! Ludum Dare tomorrow. I totally need to sleep well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Day 1:<\/p>\n

– Are you kidding me?! 3 hours of sleep because of sudden insomnia strike?<\/p>\n

– Hello, stream, I’m your sleepy friendly ghost.<\/p>\n

– What do you mean “no internet connection”?! OK, no panic, start it offline.<\/p>\n

– Hi, welcome back, luckily I have only the game idea, let’s draw it!<\/p>\n

– Lunch time!<\/p>\n

– I nearly made these collisions.<\/p>\n

– I nearly made these collisions.<\/p>\n

– Lunch time? No? OK.<\/p>\n

– Let’s just call these good collisions and keep going.<\/p>\n

– Yay, my own sprites. Me is drawing! I don’t even want to burn these down.<\/p>\n

– I nearly made these colli… Anyway it looks better with the sprites.<\/p>\n

– Cut scenes! I’ll just ignore the fact that I don’t have the finished game, play it cool.<\/p>\n

– Looks nice, next task: don’t fall asleep on the keyboard.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Day 2:<\/p>\n

– Morning, guys! Let’s finish it!<\/p>\n

– Yay, it’s actually very simple.<\/p>\n

– Damn, it’s actually very simple. I need to make the bigger game.<\/p>\n

– Lunch time!<\/p>\n

– Or… Maybe I’ll finish the game and make a bonus? Something in-between?<\/p>\n

– Main part is done. Looks like it even works.<\/p>\n

– Bonus level!<\/p>\n

– Bonus level that works and actually gives the fun!<\/p>\n

– I made these collisions! I made the z-sorting! I’m unstoppable! Let’s finish it gloriously.<\/p>\n

– OK, let’s post this. The easiest part – write down the description. Right? Oh…<\/p>\n

– Posted!<\/p>\n

– Hr-r-r-r… Zzz…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Day 3, bug fixing:<\/p>\n

– I nearly made these collisions…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

P.S.: you can play the game\u00a0here<\/a><\/p>\n
