<\/p>\n Howdy ya’ll. \u00a0I made a game for Ludum Dare a few weeks ago, and I think it’s high time I actually make a postmortem for it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So the theme this time around was “You Only Get One.” \u00a0I came up with a few concepts before settling on this final option. \u00a0The first idea was a game where you get one chance to win the game, and if you die you run you don’t get a second chance, a la a game I played on Newgrounds a while back. \u00a0(http:\/\/www.newgrounds.com\/portal\/view\/555181). \u00a0My next idea was a metroidvania game where you can save one princess, however there are several trapped in the castle. \u00a0Neither of these ideas went far so I decide to come up with a new idea. \u00a0I wanted something simple, since by that time it was Saturday I night and I was running out of time.<\/p>\n
Now I started working on This world is broken in earnest. \u00a0I decided to go with a ZX Spectrum style, since I was annoyed that I didn’t have time to work on much of \u00a0game for SpeccyJam, a few weeks prior, and I had the palette on hand. \u00a0I came up with the idea of only being able to wall jump and the game started to flow out. \u00a0In the end, I finished in the nick of time, although I would have liked just another hour or more just to hammer out a few kinks.<\/p>\n
Overall Feelings: I like this game. \u00a0I like the concept and I enjoyed making it. \u00a0I think the difficulty curve is a bit steep, although to be fair, almost all of my games have a very challenging aspect. \u00a0I seem to make a lot twitch platformers.<\/p>\n
Art: The art was simple, but so was the game, so I thought it was pretty fitting. \u00a0Other than the color changes it really only had two sprites and a tile, but it fit the concept pretty well. \u00a0I think it all worked well in the end.<\/p>\n
Sound: \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0UGGGH. \u00a0Okay, I didn’t end up having time to input a background track. \u00a0So, in the last few minutes I added a jump track, which seemed like a good idea at the time. \u00a0It wasn’t. \u00a0Boy, was it awful. \u00a0I corrected that in the updated version, but I think that the music and sound was definitely the worst part about this entry.<\/p>\n
Updated Version: \u00a0I have created a post compo version, and now all levels have a title card. \u00a0A few levels have been tweaked for difficulty. \u00a0I also added a background track and got rid of the sound effects.<\/p>\n
