This will be my first time entering LD48, I have very little game programming experience but my major downfall is that I always start projects and then abandon them, with LD48 I will have to come up with an idea quick and stick with it, I cannot stop “because I cant decide to if to use LWJGL or Java2D” or because “I cant decide on an art style”, I have to just go with it and finish something. I cant wait to begin and have my misses on coffee and snack duty for 48 hours 😀

I can be followed tweeting throughout the 48 hours @wookoouk

I was all geared up at 0 hour to start working on my first game(ever) but due to my 10 month old son needing constant attention I only managed to get 6 hours, My original idea was a tiny planet with the camera looking down on the player, the player would be about 1/10 the site of the planet but the aim was to make the texture of for the planet HUGE and require about 20 revolutions of the planet to go full circle.

But again due to time constrains I knew that I could not achieve this in so had to  work on something else just so that I could achieve something. I made the following game in way under 6 hours and got it submitted with 2 minutes left on the clock.

I hope you like what I made, again, it is my first game and the gameplay is awful but I had a great time making it.
