The crushing dissapointment of an unfinished game

I was so looking forward to this Jam. I had never been in such good shape to make the most of it. Usually I have some work on that takes away precious hours or means I cant take part at all. This time with lock down I was both feet in and no distractions. Many things contributed to not finishing and I have done the required reflection to understand what had happened. The most brutal part of not finishing is that it wrecks the play and rate experience. In many ways it renders it null and void. So I decided to channel my energies into getting my first game onto the play store. I have got it up as an Alpha ready for it to be put through its paces. This game started as my warm up for Ludum Dare 45, unfortunately a late work offer took me out of the running for that jam but I have carried on working on Flailing Hips ever since.

Flailing Hips is a Ragdoll combat game on android. Someone said its a Ragdoll Soul Calibur love child and I guess that just about covers it.

If you fancy helping a LD Brother out then I would love to add you to the Alpha testers. Email me your google play store email to flailinghips@amancalledarron.com

Don't do it at the expense of playing and rating, but if you are in need of ratings let me know and I will play your game. Just promise not to look at my entry!

Peace to you all and I really look forward to October.
