Wow, I can’t believe I manged to finish a Ludum Dare contest entry, even if it is a mini. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do anything at all, considering I didn’t find out about the MLD until the 23rd, the very end of my weekend. After that, I had work for the remaining days until the deadline, which is why I decided to use Game Maker for the game. Anyway, enough of that, on to the post-mortem proper.

What went right:

• I finished a game for once. Whooo!
• All the basic bits of the game are in place and working properly.

What went wrong:

• Almost no polish! That’ll happen when you hardly have time to work on something that has a deadline.
• No music or sound effects.
• Didn’t do much for me in the way of learning new things.
