For the next LD48 should I do web?

Since this was my first LD48 I used what I knew. Java and Jmonkey.

What is peoples opinion of platforms to use?

Seems like the web based games are a lot easier for people to access. Maybe next time I should do HTML5?

Go for it! Sound still seems to be quite of an issue though…at least with the entries I tried.

Use Flash JS(what you would be using) doesn’t have any libraries like Flixel or FlashPunk. Also there are lots of issues. Flash is pretty universally at least on the same OS.

I’m weird, but I always like to try out something new during each compo.

I have noticed that the least-rated games are all Linux/Windows downloads. And I know I play all the web games first and then go back for a second pass because downloading the game before playing it is just a little too much hassle. Web is clearly the most accessible format…
