Well, my 4th Ludum Dare entry has come to an end. This time I made a Box2D game with LibGDX called The MillionWood.

The basis of the game is that every now and then, another screen with another character is added to the game, and you have to control all of them simultaneously. All characters start at the same level, so soon enough you’ll be trying to finish old levels and new levels at the same time – and the farther you go, the more of the characters will reach the really trick levels! And if one character dies, the rest of them go down as well, so you’ll have to be careful.

The fact that this was my first time fully implementing Box2D has me very pleased that I got something working this well. I should probably have eased up on the polish, though – I was done with the game well before sleeping time, but my drive to add “just this little detail” had me going almost all the way to the cutoff point at 3 AM. Still, I’m very happy with the end result!

With all that said, good luck with your games everyone! I’ll start rating within the week. : )
