I&#8217;m pretty damn happy with it too! My goal was not to make things &#8220;simple stupid,&#8221; but <em>stupid simple.<\/em> It worked like a charm :). It&#8217;s funny because the gameplay is by-far the most fun of anything I&#8217;ve made &#8211; all from trying <em>not<\/em> to work too hard. Weird, huh?<\/p>\n <p>Anywho, there&#8217;s only two levels and no score but I&#8217;m already addicted to my little game. Then again, I&#8217;m very, <em>very <\/em>biased ;). I would&#8217;ve liked to take more time on the music, and at least have an indicator for your ship&#8217;s delivery destination.<\/p>\n <p>I wanted to have a small map popup before each level so you wouldn&#8217;t die right away but c&#8217;est la vie. I also realize, just now, that extra lives would be a good idea :\/. Funny how that slipped my mind *shrugs*.<\/p>\n <p>Also, I haven&#8217;t <em>actually<\/em> beat it yet but I&#8217;m pretty sure it&#8217;s doable (I haven&#8217;t had much time). I do know that the first level is doable, even with less fuel than I give you.<\/p>\n <p>Why are you reading this? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-21\/?action=preview&amp;uid=4799\">PLAY MY GAME!<\/a> <img src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/simple-smile.png\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/><\/p>","time":"August 22nd, 2011 7:38 pm","title":"Jammin\u2019"}
