So this is my first attempt at a Ludum Dare after just missing being able to participate in the last event. I’ve decided not to base my game off of Douglas Adams as I don’t know enough about his works beyond reading the Hitchers Guide To The Galaxy. Instead to match the theme it’s being set after Earth has sunk under a sea of water. Using bubbles and platforms to reach the surface before drowning. After almost one day of work everything is working fine.

I’ve got a player, jumping, scrolling, platforms, bubbles. The next step will to be add an oxygen meter and decide on a height to finish at. I might add pick-ups and enemies etc. depending on time and how bothered I can be. Any suggestions welcome, and good luck to everyone else.
