I skipped the last 10 Ludum Dare, so I'm glad to be back.

And what have I done?!

I don't even know what to call this. But I guess the goal is to build some kind of playground for tardigrades. The two main goals are to help tardigrades reproduce, but also keep them entertained. There's only one thing that tardigrades love, and it's to skydive from high places with no parachutes. In this game, all you can do is draw and erase terrains.

This game is weird, I don't even know how you're supposed to play it, but from what I gathered, the strategy is a balance between making holes to gather the tardigrades, and build high rise walls for them to jump from.

I pretty much setup the tardigrades logic, then try to figure out what the game is all about, which is weird. I initially was planning for the ability to add buildings, upgrades, etc... and make this some sort of city building game.

But since I didn't have enough time at the end, I decided to just have the wall drawing logic then add some logic around the "thrill" meter to provide some challenge.

So there you have it! Please let me know what you think about it!
