The good
Retained focus on a easy game and trying to polish it. I originally wanted to do something with a hex-based map, but since I hadn’t done anything close to that, I decided to go with a traditional square based map. I also decided to make a random level making my need for a level editor pretty much null.

The bad
There was no time for polishing.

Missing, but wanted features

• A better gui, with buttons and a in-game tutorial
• More than 2-players game
• Increase the positive reinforcement when picking up treasures, with animations etc
• Computer opponents!
• More treasures, I had plans for some inca gold and some western/money treasure too
• More environments such as rocks/mountatins that you can’t pass, quicksand that forces you to wait a turn and, in general, more pleasing enviromental grahics. I guess once you stop working on a texture, in ludum dare it is finished
• Bonus items, such as binuclear that allows you to see far and lantern that illuminate the area around you.
