Hello LDers!

This LD was quite different from what I’m used. I had a few short slices of time in which I could work on my entry through the weekend, until I was finally able to work almost 10 hours straight on Sunday’s afternoon (the only part of the jam that I did timelapse).

Here’s briefly what went right/wrong:

What went right

• I finished something
• I used the theme on the narrative (in a way that I rarely do)
• Even though running out of time, I was able to explain the theme in-game
• Graphics were done quickly and (mostly) smoothly
  • Also, the flapping of the evil fairy!
• I was able to do three (pretty simple) variations for the game’s theme song

What went wrong

• The idea was too big for the time I had (less than 24 hours)
• Everything is as rough and unpolished as possible
• Gameplay is really dumb
• I was away from my battle station until mid-day, on Sunday

And here’s the timelapse, taken for around half the time I worked on the game.

Later, I’ll write a proper post mortem. I’d like to explain why I didn’t have much time, how I got the game idea, how I quickly done the graphics… etc.

Until then!
