Assuming I actually get my game done on-time, this will be the first Ludum Dare I ever enter.

I've entered some other, smaller jams before, so I have some experience, but this will be by far the shortest amount of time I've ever had to make a game.

Hopefully I can actually pull through with this one!

My first Ludum Dare game, a shoot 'em up where every power-up you collect gives the enemies a power boost as well, is currently in development. The game's full title is "Super Power Omega OP Force Sigma: Lasers of Lightning", but I will typically refer to it by its official acronym, "SPOOFSLOL", to save time.

I already have some decent progress on the game, with 3 power-ups implemented, a silly title screen sequence is in the game, and a control screen has also been put in place. I also have decent progress on the actual graphics in the game.

Here's a screenshot to give you an idea what the game is going to be like:

Hopefully I'll be able to finish the game on time!

I've now implemented 6 power-ups in Super Power Omega OP Force Sigma: Lasers of Lightning (a.k.a. SPOOFSLOL). I'd say it's shaping up pretty nicely so far. The interface looks fine, the graphics are okay, the power-ups are interesting, and the game gets harder and harder with every power-up you get because the enemies get their effects as well.

I'm almost certainly going to be done in time for the Jam. :smiley:

I did it! I finished my Ludum Dare game in time! HOORAY!

I'd just like to thank everyone who's played "Super Power Omega OP Force Sigma: Lasers of Lightning so far". It was fun to make, and I'm glad to see that most of the reception so far has been positive.

For those of you who haven't played it, I can't blame ya, there's been a lot of neat stuff this Ludum Dare so far. However, the entire game is only about 5-15 minutes long if you don't die a lot, so if you can find that kind of time to play it, I'd certainly appreciate it. The game is a shoot 'em up where the main gimmick is that the enemies get power-ups when you get power-ups. Here's a few screenshots:

If you do decide to give it a go, I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks so much to everybody who's been reviewing my game! I only need about 6 more ratings to get up to 20! :D

SPOOFSLOL has managed to reach 17 ratings so far! I only need 3 more until I reach 20! I know I can still make it, but I can't do it without your help! The game only takes about 5-15 minutes to beat if you don't die too much, so why not give it a shot? https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/super-power-omega-op-force-sigma-lasers-of-lightning-spoofslol
