Progress, 8.5 hours in. Deep descent!
Reasonably happy with the overall progress so far. On track to finish the game overall in the next 3-4 hours.
That leaves tomorrow for POLISH, and some flashy fun things to make it look and feel awesome.

After posting my completed game last night before bed, I had only a handful of my stream viewers listed on the high score page, with maybe 8 total entries.
It was an absolutely amazing feeling to wake up this morning to many more people playing the game, and a ton of new scores submitted to the global leaderboards!
Its an intentionally difficult game, and I'm so relieved that people seem to be enjoying it overall.
Can you beat my high score?
Congrats to everyone that played Deep Descent, and enjoyed it! A special congratulations to the top 10 high scores!
Here is the final scoreboard before the game rankings are finalised today.

I haven't completed a Ludum Dare in a while. Last time I did, I got 140th, I want to try and complete something, and beat that score.
Good luck to everyone, and above all, have some fun with it!
I'm in, and dedicated to produce something for LD55.
Where is the amazing art / backgrounds that we can use for desktop and streaming? There is normally a bunch of people that put out great wallpapers for the community. Any pointers?

The themes are historically bad, but I find that quite a few of the final round themes are somewhat decent. I hope its going to work for me, and I can release something for LDJAM this time around.
Since @pov likes this so much, here is a full res version of me and my cat Nina. She's amazing! We have the same mood.
