You click the lights to turn them off , Simple!<\/p>\n <p>I wanted to keep as close to the theme as possible, which i think i did well.<\/p>\n <p>My first ludum dare was a\u00a0successful\u00a0one, \u00a0however i ran into a few bumps.<\/p>\n <p>I went through 2 ideas before\u00a0getting\u00a0the idea for Lights. One thing i didn&#8217;t do well was plan out my ideas and take enough time to think of others, However i now know that next ludum dare i need to take more time to think of ideas, and not just jump into the first one that i think of.<\/p>\n <p>So to the game!<\/p>\n <p>What went well:<\/p>\n <p>-I kept the theme in mind and i think that it matches it well.<\/p>\n <p>-I ran into hardly any bugs while making it.<\/p>\n <p>-Its good fun, It works just how i wanted and is an easy play. One of my main goals was to keep it simple and casual, and not make a fast paced game.<\/p>\n <p>-the design, I am happy with how the minimal graphics suit the game.<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>What didn&#8217;t go well:<\/p>\n <p>&#8211; Sounds, There not bad, but i wanted to add some peaceful music but did not get round to it.<\/p>\n <p>-Tweaking\/polishing, I think i should have spent some more time tweaking my game,<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>What i will add to the game at a later point:<\/p>\n <p>-Difficulty ramp, Gets harder the further you get.<\/p>\n <p>-Map the lights to keys, so you don&#8217;t have to use the mouse.<\/p>\n <p>-music<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>This ludum dare has taught me alot, and now i know how i can do even better next time.<\/p>\n <p>I really enjoyed it! I&#8217;m having alot of fun playing others games too!<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>","time":"April 30th, 2013 8:36 am","title":"Lights Post-mortem!"}
