Icecream and World Domination – Postmortem
http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-30/?action=preview&uid=42414
Two students, 72 hours and a ton coffein actually produced something that we can be very proud of.
It’s a game about destroying various alien races, capturing planets and A TON OF ROCKETS.
@amethyst_v did all the stunning artwork, the story and most of the level design. While I (@Zelosfan) crafted the code of the game in Java with LibGDX.
Huge thanks to a third person (@official_Haruki) who made the awesome music tracks which really add to the mood and round up the game nicely!
What went right:
- We achieved pretty much everything we planned. That is just awesome and doesn’t happen that often in gamejams.
- It was the first time that we worked together on a game (other than a Dota game). And it worked out really well

- The game is actually fun xD
- We managed to polish most of the animations. Aren’t resizing crosshairs and swarming rockets awesome ^_^.
- Actually there is a kind of a step-by-step tutorial.
What went wrong:
- Time pressure at the end. REAL BIG TIME. Because our game is pretty complicated we had to make a good tutorial and I started to do it 2h before the deadline ._.
- We had a game breaking bug(endlessssss scrolling yay) which we had to patch out after the submission deadline. Probably because we had no time for playtesting.
- Minor bugs persisted (the usual).
So yeah check it out and I hope you love it aswell. If you leave feedback we will come back to you <3.
