SINGLEHANDEDLY – COMPLETE!

http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-20/?action=preview&uid=4178

Old news, but a few hours ago I submitted my entry to the competition.

I’m impressed with myself. I single-handedly made a fully playable game about some kid who single-handedly takes down a robot empire with a little pea shooter. And then I named it SINGLEHANDEDLY.

After looking at the other entries I doubt if it will win anything in any category, and that’s not saying anything bad about my game. It’s an honor to be competing with the kind of talent I’ve seen here. What means the most to me right now is that I made a game from start to finish, a bit rough, but I made it and it’s fully playable and packed with decent features. And on top of all that, it’s a FUN game. No doubt, it’s a little uninspired, a generic “Metroidvania,” but you know what? It’s been too long since I’ve played a game this spiritedly simple.

I hope you all have fun playing this game and I look forward to the feedback I hope to get.

 

Oh, and I might whip something up for the jam. I dunno.

I agree with you that it’s beautifully simple. Still hard as crap, but that’s cuz I’m used to hitting UP for jump. I keep shooting when I wanna jump. I love the hidden areas and the upgrades.
