So glad I decided to Ludum Dare this time.  The sprint to the finish was crazy, the kind of stress that makes you feel super-great when it pays off.  I finished my game with 10 minutes left, and submitted 5 minutes into the extra hour — my internet had died, and I needed to walk a ways with my laptop for some WiFi!  The perfect conclusion to this hectic event.

My game polished up better than I thought it would, though there’s a rather big spike in the difficulty curve after level 8.  Also I might have turned the music into a muddled mess among all of my hasty tweaks.   But I think the game concept is really fun, and my execution was about as good as it could have been for my first Ludum Dare.

I gotta say thank you to everyone who puts this event together.  Such a good idea.
