It’s been a great pleasure to take part of the Ludum Dare compo for the second time, the game I submitted is called “Ten Levels”. Its a simple avoid-the-enemy-collect-the-something-to-pass-to-the-next-level<\/em> game that I hope you will like\/have fun with.<\/p>\n 
I voted and really hoped for the theme “Minimalism” to win but without a real reason (\"no\"<\/a>) and when it came out I had no clue at all for the game..<\/p>\n 
Also i had to spend all saturday away from home so I spent most of the time thinking about the theme and what I could do (while everyone else around me were having fun).<\/p>\n 
It was during the trip back home that I realized that it didnt need to be closely related to the art movement or the kind of graphics, the game elements just needed to be taken to the minimal<\/em> possible point.<\/p>\n 
So I decided to make a game that was playable inside a simple title screen, or better, inside the loading-level screen. It was just when i wrote down “LEVEL I” that I realized that V could have been my hero looking for I and avoiding evil L and E.<\/p>\n 
I’m a big fan of classic games like Robotron and Berzerk and I tried to put all my experience on these two games on my title, and i think somehow something went into it. I wanted it to look like a minimalist Robotrozerk that sounded like an Atari 2600.<\/p>\n 
My laziness fotunately found in Construct 2<\/a> a good friend to fast prototype and design the game, so I have to thank once again that little incredible piece of software to let my imagination turn to reality once again.<\/p>\n 
I closed the game in a real hurry during Sunday (I also found the time to watch a football match in between) and I didnt realize at first that it was so difficult to win. Almost impossible!<\/p>\n 
So I spent two more days to try and win it and finally I made it so I can show you that it is possible!<\/p>\n
