Shameless Plug
Go ahead and try my game Slotbot Arena!
This is my first Ludum Dare and i'm happy with my results.

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!
