Quite literally, postMORTEM. ANyway, after reading the comments, seeing my ratings and my own opionins, I’m ready to do this. Maybe next time I’ll write this during the compo, but I only decided to do it now.<\/p>\n

The good:<\/p>\n

– I got a game released. I wasn’t really expecting to get one done, but I did.<\/p>\n

– The gameplay. WIth GM, collison detecting\/stopping you from moving in only one direction can be tough. I pulled it off though.<\/p>\n

– The tower and key sprites. I’m not very good at computer art, and not much better and paper art, so these were pretty good sprites for me. I am thinking that making part of the key in 3d would be good, but as of now, I’m just learning to use Blender, so during the creation part, I couldn’t have done it.<\/p>\n

The bad:<\/p>\n

– The player sprite and the wall sprite. I could have done better with those.<\/p>\n

-The game itself. It needed more levels and, quite obviously (:P), a game over\/you win screen.<\/p>\n

-The fact that I used GM to make it. I wanted to use SDL to make it, but I had no time.<\/p>\n

Overall, if I added more levels, more detail and more traps, I think that it could become sort of fun.<\/p>\n

Until next LD,<\/p>\n
