I came up with a new idea the morning of the second day which worked well!<\/li>\n <li>I couldn&#8217;t get multiple waves to work for the Circles making it harder for the player<\/li>\n <li>The music could have been better<\/li>\n <li>I wish I could have spent more time on it but Other stuff got in the way so i had to finish it early<\/li>\n <li>I wish I thought of a better name for the game as it was pretty bad haha<\/li>\n <li>I think I could have thought of a cooler idea for a game after seeing what other people have made which some were awesome \ud83d\ude00 (Good job to everyone btw)<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>What I learned for next LD:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>I need to spend more time on the idea so it will be a better game before I start coding!<\/li>\n <li>I need to think of a better title and overall goal of the game.<\/li>\n <li>Make more of a story for the game and not make it so simple.<\/li>\n <li>Next game I will be doing it in html5 so it will be easier to distribute to people to play since not everyone just has a windows computer and it helps those who are lazy<\/li>\n <li>Don&#8217;t spend too much time worrying about people watching you on twitch, it can be a distraction so I may do the next one with just a longer time lapse.<\/li>\n <li>Eat and drink water while you program to help you stay up later haha<\/li>\n <li>Make sure that you have fun playing the game! Even though I had fun playing it I still got bored after a while!<\/li>\n <li>Make it harder for the player to beat for my next game<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>Conclusion<\/p>\n <p>I&#8217;m really happy I participated in this LD it&#8217;s cool to be a part of something like this and finish a game! Which I rarely do because I don&#8217;t have a time limit or deadline and just get bored of making it and think of an idea that seems cooler! I want to do better for the next LD so I will definately learn HTML5 and try to get that to work!<\/p>\n <p>Questions:<\/p>\n <p>Is there a good place to host HTML 5 games on the web that everyone can access like a portal website for games? Or can you get a free website and host it there? I know you can use dropbox but sometimes it may be hard because everyone&#8217;s trying to access it.<\/p>\n <p>You can play S.C.
