This being my first Ludum Dare I hadn&#8217;t the slightest idea of what to expect (I&#8217;d participated on this year&#8217;s Global Jam, but I worked with various other very skilled people there), or how I would manage the scope of my selected project. I settled with LOVE2D and Lua about 5 hours before the clock started and I have to admit even though I didn&#8217;t have any previous experience with either, both turned out to be wonderful choices.<\/p>\n <p>Anyway, I successfully completed the entirety of my game as I had initially envisioned it as soon as I&#8217;d settled on a mechanic, and even added a fancy ending sequence as well as a main menu\/title screen I ended up being very satisfied with. Regarding the project&#8217;s shortcomings as they&#8217;re apparent to me, even though the core mechanics and the general feel of the game are something I&#8217;m proud of, my not-very-good art skills really show on the finished version, and there might be some wonky stuff to work out on the collision-detection side of things, but that&#8217;s just me being pesky \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n <p>All in all, I&#8217;d consider this a success. I have to do a timelapse next time though, I would&#8217;ve loved to watch one for this project and I honestly didn&#8217;t even consider it due to it being my first LD; I promise to be more prepared the next time <img src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/simple-smile.png\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/><\/p>\n <p>Finally, here are some screenshots.
