Woke up before 6:00 local time (that’s 3 hours after the start of the compo), checked the theme. At first somehwat reluctant, but got enthousiastic of an idea pretty quickly. Worked out a design first. Then the (imaginary) orange warning light going off in my mind –I had been ignoring– became too pressing, and I started to check if there’s a (too) similar game out there. Turns out there is, at least when it concerns the basic idea; Medusa turning opponents into statues: Medusa’s Lament

Wouldn’t have been too much of a problem, but it was also a compo game (in 2007)…

Giving myself one-and-a-half hours to either decide to press on anyway (with a disclaimer added in front of the game) or come up with a new design. What to do, what to do…
