After missing out on the last Ludum Dare, I got to participate in this one! Still, didn’t get to put the entire weekend into my project, but I got to try out using Game Maker Studio (ran into a lot of newbie problems), and put in about 12 hours in total. = (<\/p>\n

I didn’t realize until too late that it would cost me to build an HTML5 version of the game, so that ended up costing my wallet.<\/p>\n

Sorry about the rough edges! <\/p>\n

My goal this time around was to create another slightly meditative experience. Iaido has more action than my previous entry, Bubble Bubble Bubble Pop. My initial thought was to create a huge animation cooldown at the end of every attack, but I wasn’t able to pull that off (the controls weren’t rewarding and just felt like the game was holding you back).<\/p>\n

I would like to revisit the game and build an exciting and rewarding combo system. It feels like with the right changes the game could have a rhythm and test your reaction skills.<\/p>\n
