“You Only Get One Ship” – A Post-Mortem

You can play it clicking in the image!

What went right
My ability to react:
Actually this was not the theme I expected (the ideal would have been “Death is useful”), but once I learned to adapt quickly to circumstances and had an acceptable idea after thinking for a few hours. From what I read on IRC, many people had no idea what to do until we were already in the final hours of the jam, so I think in that area I can consider myself lucky.

Simplicity:
Thanks to the simplicity of my idea I did not have to use several of the tools that I announced in my entry post.
This allowed me to save a lot of time and I could focus on the KISS principle.

Fun:
I think the game is pretty fun, or at least entertaining. It is challenging without being frustrating and can give you some minutes of fun. Not bad considering that the idea is pretty simple.

The community:
This time I was able to spend more time on IRC.
And you are fantastic. All of you.

What went bad:

Graphics:
THE SHIPS ARE FLYING SUBMARINES!

Graphics:
And are supposed to be spaceships!

Also graphics:
SPACESHIPS!
