Lyrics to our Credits Screen: No Applause

Check out the credits screen on our entry for a treat! We put together a parody of a Radiohead song especially for LDJam. We tried to have it capture the experience of participating. I (Alex) sang the lyrics and @gregg-rossetti ran them through a vocoder!

No Applause LDJam 53

Production’s crawlin' to a standstill / For a game that won’t fulfill you / For users that won’t deal / The art we acquired was crappy / [Bring down the government] / It looks, it looks bleak for us. / I’ll take a silent prize / A pancaked sprite that’s cockeyed

No applause and no reprises / No applause and no reprises / No applause and no reprises / Kindness, kindness

This is the final build / I hope it doesn’t break for

No applause and no reprises / No applause and no reprises / No reforms or compromises / Please

Find me a coffeehouse / A latte would be awesome

No applause and no reprises / No more flaws or compromises / No reward for sacrifices / Please

Singing three takes back-to-back late in the day on Day 2 was a welcome break from coding. It helped me keep going! What did the rest of you do to cope with the stress of the last three days? 🤔
