<\/a>Our game involved using the left or right keys (but actually A and D)\u00a0 to turn the ship left or right to avoid floating satellite debris.\n It was pretty simple concept overall and we wanted to achieve a lot more with it.
\n We only managed to include a timer that tracks how long you survived for as the only real goal, we had hoped to be able to include a victory condition if you navigated long enough. As it stands now its more of an exercise into your futile navigation into a ever denser field of debris which eventually gets so thick that you can’t squeeze though resulting in your death by a fiery explosion. But at the very least it records how long it took you to get to that eventual death.
\n We learned a lot from the experience though and I’m already looking forward to April to see how much we can do next time around, especially since next time we will have a lot more experience to build off.<\/p>\n

\n I think the biggest thing was getting most of the mechanics we wanted into the game, such as the movement and random spawning of debris, all the while learning a new engine. I think the fact we kept it simple helped here since we really didn’t run into any coding issue that we couldn’t solve or made us want to pull our hair out.
\n As far as what did not go well:
\n Time management! We didn’t deal with getting everything together in a orderly fashion and the last few hours of the jam was a pretty mad rush to throw it all together. Aside from time though nothing went truly terrible which I think was pretty lucky for us, we had a few errors to get right in the last few hours, but the extra hour to submit really was a blessing to sort the final bugs out.<\/p>\n
