Another success! I`ve improved in 6 categories, and didn`t go down in another 2. I have 3 categories with not less than 3 points, and no categories with less than 2 points. Only 3 categories are worse than average.

  • Audio: I`ve beaten 78% entries without making lots of effort. I used sfxr for sounds and Abundant Music for music, both are generators :P.
  • Humor: Well, I didn`t involve much humor, but got a good rating. It seems average humor is very low (indeed).
  • Fun: My first entry that`s actually fun. I just used a simple idea, and people enjoyed my game.
  • Mood: I think most mood was caused by music, but I also made some story.
  • Overall: 3 overall? Great job! I think I this time I succeeded.
  • Innovation: I had to sacrifice innovation to gain fun. And I didn`t regret it.
  • Theme: I think I could do better. I just quickly took the best idea I had, though I wanted to think some more.
  • Graphics: Though graphics are low, it`s better than  previous LDs. I think I learned how to draw on computer.

Well… I feel kinda squeezed now. I already started making a game for MiniLD, because I think I won`t do it in one weekend. And I need to make sure I`ll make a game this month.
