LD30 aftermath<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was my 3rd Ludum Dare and my time was very limited. During the whole competition I could only work a few hours each day.
\n That’s why I decided to join the jam and use Unity (in contrast to LibGDX the last two times). I had never used it and in fact installed it only three days before the contest.
\n The preconditions were far from ideal but my conclusion is:<\/p>\n

EVERYTHING WENT BETTER THAN EXPECTED<\/em><\/p>\n

Unity was really simple to work with and the integration with Blender is neat. After the first two days I had my the mechanics, game-play, graphics, menus and a prototype level running.<\/p>\n

The last day I could use to create more levels, add some eye candy (bloom shaders FTW!) and make everything smoother. Fortunately my friend atombrot <\/a>contributed with a kick-ass chiptune soundtrack.<\/p>\n

Improvements for next time: Allocate more time!<\/em><\/p>\n

Here a short gameplay video:<\/p>\n
