While I (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Zelosfan\">@Zelosfan<\/a>) crafted\u00a0the code of the game in Java with LibGDX.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Huge thanks to a third person (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/official_Haruki\">@official_Haruki<\/a>) who made the awesome music tracks which really add to the mood and round up the game nicely!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>What went right:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We achieved pretty much everything we planned. That is just awesome and doesn\u2019t happen that often in gamejams.<\/li>\n<li>It was the first time that we worked together on a game (other than a Dota game). And it worked out really well <img alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/simple-smile.png\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"\/><\/li>\n<li>The game is actually fun xD<\/li>\n<li>We managed to polish most of the animations. Aren\u2019t resizing crosshairs and swarming rockets awesome ^_^.<\/li>\n<li>Actually there is a kind of a step-by-step tutorial.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>What went wrong:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Time pressure at the end. REAL BIG TIME. Because our game is pretty complicated we had to make a good\u00a0tutorial and I started to do it 2h before the deadline ._.<\/li>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<li>Minor bugs persisted (the usual).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So yeah check it out and I hope you love it aswell. If you leave feedback we will come back to you &lt;3.<\/p>","time":"August 26th, 2014 6:00 am","title":"Icecream and World Domination \u2013 Postmortem","title_was_empty":false}
