The drought comes to an end...
TL;DR
NOTE: On Windows 10/11 if given a "Windows protected your PC" dialog when attempting to run the game, click "More Info" followed by "Run Anyway"
Goal Reached!
After a several-years-long dry spell, I have finally been able to get something "shipped". I decided enough was enough and I would get SOMETHING turned in for this jam. It feels really good to release something again and I am looking forward to future projects and game jams.
I present to you, Candy Crook! An awfully simple game about collecting candy for as long as possible and trying to collect every piece before time runs out! Check it out here or here. (Sorry mac users, I couldn't be bothered to go through Apple's process in order to run software without issue just yet. So for now there's a Windows build and an untested Linux build)
Moving on
Due to my busy work/family life I was only able to put about 24 hours into the development of this game over the last two weeks. There are several ideas I have that could flesh this game out a little more, but I feel I acheived what I set out to do and rather than go beyond the scope of my original plans, I would like to move on to a couple other small-scale projects that have been cooking in the ol' thinker. I want to take advantage of the momentum I have gained and let it snowball.
Thank you in advance to anyone who checks out the game and I'll see you in the next one!
