”Garbage Can you escape?” is the game I entered together with Daniel, a friend of mine this Ludum Dare. It’s about a nefarious garbage-stealing villain that tries to escape from prison. Check it out here (please do 😉 ).

What went wrong

• Graphics could’ve been more polished: we’re both not spriters, but we tried our best. If we would’ve had some more time, I would at least have redone the prisoner sprite
• We had no time for power ups

What went right

• We didn’t run out of coffee
• The teamwork went well. I was afraid that Daniel would get left behind because he has less experience programming, but that didn’t happen, and collaboration went smoothly
• Music went at least sorta well. That is, I was completely new to tracker software (which I’m gonna keep using from now on, loving it), so I had to figure out some things still during the Dare.

To boast my ego a bit, here’s the theme for the main menu:

Okay, that’s all! Please give Garbage Can you escape? a try!
