Finished, and with 7 hours and 38 minutes left too! I added a few crappy sounds. Get it at http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-15/?action=preview&uid=1059

Lots of people have been saying my entries not working, so if you tried it and it crashed, go to the page, and replace your exe with the one in the debug .zip, and then post the number in debug.txt, so i can try to track down the cause

5 Hours Mark

5 Hours in, 4 were spent arguing with the new version of Chipmunk Physics I smartly downloaded.

45 minutes later

In just 45 minutes Ive added a gun and a bullet and a broken text box. It was all really simple because I already had the physics engine. Adding chipmunk probably saved me time in the long run

I fixed the text, spent an hour with a heap corruption bug, and then added the mirror

I lost a lot of time, but I got level loading working, and a basic horrible in game editor.

Test One/Release?

SPOILER:

when you shoot the strobe walls and you die, the game restarts but you still have the gun and it doesn’t appear in that place where you find it……or maybe I’m missing something.
