So the results for LD26 are out and I must say, despite some of the obvious faults my game had, I was pleasantly surprised with what I got so without any further ado, here are the results for my entry, Only One Shot<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Anyway, according to bvanschooten’s percentile maths, I’m actually in the top 14th percentile for Theme and top 17th percentile for Innovation out of all rated Jam games.<\/p>\n

Strongest Category – Theme: Minimalism was probably an easy theme to interpret so no problems here.<\/p>\n

True Strongest Category – Innovation: Now this one I can definitely be proud of as a lot of the positive comments on my game were to do with the core mechanic of my game.<\/p>\n

Weakest Category – Humour: Wait, what? My game hardly has any humour 0_O<\/p>\n

True Weakest Category – Graphics: I’ve probably said this before so many times during the rating period but I’m more of a coder than an artist and I can’t even draw to save my own life but regarding the theme, I just sorta lucked out.<\/p>\n

Category which took me by Surprise – Audio: Apparently bfxr and a few randomly placed squares in Otomata somehow managed to get me a 3 in Audio.<\/p>\n

Category I nearly managed to break through – Fun: Was only 0.02 away from 3 stars and possibly making top 100 for fun.<\/p>\n

Overall, I would say not too shabby for my first Ludum Dare. I’ll try and possibly make some time over the weekend as I’m pretty busy at work during the weekdays but I might start on working on an improved, fleshed out, post-compo version of my game.<\/p>\n

Finally, a big thank you to everyone who rated my game and gave nice comments about it and to everyone who submitted an entry of course.<\/p>\n

See you in August for Ludum Dare 27 \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n \n
