As usual in these competitions, I got about 4 hours to work on it.<\/p>\n

But there’s something like gameplay, and definitely something to build on for a later release.<\/p>\n

You will need pygame installed, and that’s all\"\"<\/p>\n

Tested on Mac Intel, but I haven’t done anything tricky that shouldn’t run on other platforms. I can package this, actually, but (sniff, sniff) haven’t had the time.<\/p>\n

It’s been fun, and I’m glad to have actually made it to the end, after a fashion.<\/p>\n

Since there’s no intro screen, I’ll have to tell you. You are the bluish circle. The red guys are lemming-like dots about to get squished by the … advancing wall of doom… You scoop them up.<\/p>\n

(The scoring is wonky, so you win by scooping up any number of lemmings before the wall advances, so the only way to lose is by failing to scoop even one — oh, well, I’ll fix that in the future — which I propose to abbreviate IFTITF from now on, to save typing)<\/p>\n

Without further ado, here’s a download link:<\/p>\n

CORRECTION: The previous link posted a non-working download link: Conclusion: I’m a moron.
