So, I submitted the game. Before the deadline. Thats a win, right? 😉

Gameplay Video

Game can be found here:  Compo-Entry

I tried to make it really simple. But there were a few things to consider for next time:

• If you are Ill, like I was, your energy levels are too low to get into a flow-like state
• I need to check for a good method to make music in a fast way. I like tonematrix, but couldn’t record that music…
• I want to have a good option-screen where users can choose the resolution for example. My game is flexible, but the window isnt…
• My webcam and Chronolapse are causing my notebook cpu to run at 30% constantly (1 image per minute). Need to find out why…
