Notes on Game

  • You can only rapidly type space when you've already been drained of energy. So make sure to rack coins early on, because you can use those whenever you want! (If I could change one thing, it would be this mechanic)

  • I really wish I could've improved the enemy's movement logic. All they do is home in on you, which is just okay. I would've liked a more intelligent path finding mechanism so they don't all just converge on the same point after a while.

What I Used

  • Unity 2018.3.7f1
  • Asesprite for the art (i'm no artist so this was hard!)
  • Bfxr for sound effects
  • Open source content for typefaces and music

My Takeaways

  • I might need a group next time. Doing everything alone is so stressful!

  • Game jam's are a great opportunity to learn, and i'll be doing more that's for sure!

  • I hosted on itch.io, but I think if I want people to experience the game without the performance hit of a free hosting site i'll need to make it available for download.

Please enjoy, and leave feedback on my game!

Happy Ludum Dare 44!
