so I’m kinda new at this whole thing. I’ve never actually had an LD weekend free before, so for my first try, I wanted to go for something so simple that I would definitely get it finished. mission accomplished.
it takes place in a cavern, but I went for a less literal interpretation than most people did, it seems. I had a false start trying with Löve before figuring that maybe ludum dare WASN’T the ideal time to learn Lua’s many nuances, so I fell back on pygame.
best played with the volume turned up, and nobody within earshot. WASD to break blocks, arrow keys to move, alt-enter for full screen (maybe). work your way through the bricks to get to the end of Sally’s cavern.

oh, hey, our games have the same title (sort of). Sorry about that!
Very different subject matter, of course.
Yours is fun but (!!SPOILER!!) it does lend credence to the argument that videogames are nothing but a form of masturbation. It’s also succumbs to the Madden Problem – why play the videogame when you can just do it in real life?
Dunno how fast this message will reach you, but yes, the Windows binary works at least for me.
