You can see the collision system at work by pressing [ENTER] ingame.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p><strong>What went wrong<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>I dont know if this qualifies as wrong, but it took me a little longer than 2 days, because i worked on the game during normal week days and not the weekend. I hope 3 week days equal 2 weekend days. Also working on the game reduced my preferred sleeping time by some hours, but that was already out of order and so i just slept as much as i did before the MiniLD.<\/li>\n <li>The interaction mechanics are not introduced ingame, so you have to know from other Zelda games, that the electrically charged slimes should\/can not be attacked, and you have to find out yourself, how to use the shield (Press down \ud83d\ude09 ).<\/li>\n <li>I did not have enough time to create a challenging boss ai <img src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/frownie.png\" alt=\":(\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/><\/li>\n <li>The Game is short.<\/li>\n <li>Google Drive seems to have a hidden download limit, so i had to delete and reupload the audio files multiple times. Maybe that was because i reloaded the page too often during debugging. Is Dropbox better? &#8211; AHRG! It happend again.
