Well, this was my very first LD.<\/p>\n

And all i have to say is. WOW. This is much harder than i previously thought. I really didn’t think it was this difficult to come up with a concept, and then do the art and coding in such a tight deadline.<\/p>\n

And it really made me think about the way i approach my game design, especially level design, which is my weak spot at my current level of being a gamedev.<\/p>\n

All in all, i regret a lot of decisions made during the process. I think i have a playable game, but that’s it. The concept, mechanics and the level are all really weak. And seeing that some of you guys made in the same amount of time, was very humble.<\/p>\n

I hadn’t had any time to optimize my game, or to polish at all.<\/p>\n

HTML5 version is only working on firefox, since it’s been a while i tested elsewhere. Sorry about that, but as per rules, i won’t fix before the voting ends. And i hope to expand on the game after.<\/p>\n

But all in all, i had a ton of fun entering this LD and i will enter other times. If not for anything, it really keep my chops in check and is a great way to spend a weekend.<\/p>\n

If you want to check my game:<\/p>\n
