Hey!

My name is Luke, and I was the one who created the jam entry ‘Simple Ships‘.

Simple Ships is a 2D game made in hard Java. You have to avoid meteors, will increasing your score. You use only one button, throughout the game: the SPACE BAR.

You use the SPACE BAR to start, then the SPACE BAR to change which way the ship goes: left or right.

Pros of the Game:

• 8bit Graphics
• Interesting Concept
• The nice Feel
• Its Simpleness
• Ties in with the theme (Only one Button)

Cons of the Game:

• VERY Resource Intensive (this is due to the fact that everything is pure Java, no libraries, and lots of unneeded code. Well, not unneeded, but ridiculously crap. but what do you expect, I started 40 hours late.)
• No Sound
• Rectangular Graphics (I wanted them smoother, but I suck at art, so…)

But, all in all, it was a very interesting and joyful experience, and look forward to doing the next one.

Happy New Year <3

Luke
