It's a long time and many failed attempts since my last finished LD entry. My last entry was "LongBeard" for LD34, and my last finished compo entry, "Spiral Wings" for LD 31.

Approaching the compo deadline, I had barely an hour left to design the levels, having spent most of the jam implementing the core features, creating assets, and overly polishing things which didn't need polishing. I thus had the difficult decision of either cramming in some rough design based on my notes, or waiting a day to give it more thought and also flesh out the art a bit more.

In the end I crammed, but I have a million more ideas for where to take this. I already started and dropped a whole handful of features when I realised I wasn't going to have time to complete them.

The end result maybe feels a little rough compared to where I could get it with another 24 hours (or months), but I'm pleased and surprised that it seems to work at all!

I hope you enjoy playing World Collector: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/45/world-collector
