Whoooo! Ludum time!

This is going to be my third time participating in the compo, and I am excited. My past two attempts were “complete”, but neither game was particularly fun. This time that will change. I WILL make a fun game, and I WILL succeed at time management!!!

I just completed my warm up weekend game, and everything is looking peachy. The game is called “Eye of Ra”, and it helped me test all of my various tools to make sure they were working. I am most proud of the music, seeing as my past two games had no sound at all. I have been practicing with Famitracker, and I think the background music sounds great, even though it is a short loop. This warm up also let me work on animated sprites, which I have never been very good at. All in all, this warmup game which I made in about 6 hours is already better than my past two entries. I am excited! Play it here.

Egyptian shoot-em-up? Why not.
