This is my first LD and the first game I make by myself. Plus first blog post, I didn't want to make one when I have nothing to show.
I'm making a beat'em up cooking game. Sadly I lost nearly the whole first day because of private stuff, so I only have some prototype graphics and a few game mechanics, but most of the stuff that makes out a beat em up is still missing
Made a basic punch animation, I would love to make different moves and more fluid animation but I will stick with just a basic punch. If by some chance I have everything else finished I will add some more ^^ Hope I make it in time.
I think I have to admit my defeat, I've been struggeling for the last hours to make everything work, but I still need some important mechanics, audio, more graphics and multiple animations. This was the first Ludum Dare I participated and my first time making a game by myself. Even though I didn't finish it and it's not playable at the current state, I still thing I learned much and had some fun. Plus I want to keep working on my little cooking beat em up, but this time at my speed ^^
Even though I won't be able to rate games, I excited to see what you all made.
I wish you all some productive last hours ^^ I will now finally go to bed and get some sleep
Here's some little animations I made to calm down after getting frustrated, because I had so little time and I didn't work like I wanted it to.

This is my 3rd attempt to complete a Ludum Dare. The first time I had problems with the theme and tried to do a game which was way to much work for me and my knowledge. The second time I totally failed because of time and other stuff and didn't post anything. The first day of this LD is nearly over and I got some ground tiles, a character (which I use as a placeholder, because I want to use it as an NPC. So I still have to do my main character ^^') and the ability to move said character a little. All in all not that much, but I will try to do better on the 2nd day. I just want to say I will try my best, but I can't promise I will make it -_-'
I have way to much fun with this ^^. Core mechanics aren't ready, but at least I have this guy <3
Okay, I got most things kinda working. Even though the gameplay isn't that good because you can't do much. But even though I'm not finished, like missing animations and sounds. And making the object do what I want, but I still want to upload what I have to show I made something.
Now I have only have to upload it to Itch.io and I'm ready. But that's where the problem lies :/ I can't log in because apparently my password is wrong even though I have it written down on paper. I now wait for my resetting email, and I only got 23 min left :( great.
I put the game now in Google Drive, because Itch.io wouldn't send me my email for resetting my passwort.
Sadly, it’s not really finished, but I still wanted to upload something to show what I made. The sound loops per Level because I put in in the last 30 minutes ^^’. Ironically the mirror (name of the game because I couldn't think of something quick) doesn’t work ^^' I tried for some time, but then I had to do other stuff because there was so much missing. I couldn't fix the destortion at the pixel art, but it looks way better than before.
I hope you enjoy it even though ^^

Sorry, that I didn't post anything after the start of the Play+Rate phase. I've been quite busy, but I will still work on my game. I can't say when right now and how long it will take, I have to look much up and figure stuff out so that everything works, plus I want to put way more in, in gameplay and art stuff ^^
Thank you all for the kind words, wasn't expecting this much <3
