My first and last post for this LD48 happens to be about my game’s completion! Go on over here to see the submission page and play it.

Before the weekend, I didn’t think I’d have the time for it. But I suddenly had an idea, and after a friendly reminder from Phil Hassey on IRC that it’s never to late to enter, I decided I’d do what I could. So, after a few struggles with mouse picking and getting the y position on a terrain grid, I gave up on both and moved on to make a game that, while using a semi-awkward control scheme and an inaccurate terrain-tracking pointer, is complete now.

It was originally going to be themed on the Iceland guy, with his face on top, responding to how fast you’re clearing the levels. What are now forks were originally supposed to be fists, but I couldn’t figure out how to texture them that way. So now it’s themed on exquisite dining rather than a Iceland-pounding rage.

I had fun, no matter the result, and that’s what counts, right?
