I submitted my entry well before the deadline ended, something I never thought I would manage. I’m usually the one desperately trying to code the last gameplay elements 10 minutes before the submission deadline.

Overall, I’m pretty happy with how my first LD went. I set out to actually finish the game instead of getting bogged down with coding complex game mechanics or doing lots of art for the game as I always do. I think I actually succeeded with that goal even though the game has some rough parts, such as a complete lack of music, sound effects and graphics.

Even though the game is a bit short, all the gameplay elements are there, there’s a menu and I even had time to add some animations. Considering the game was made in ~20 hours, it isn’t that bad at all.

Here’s the timelapse I recorded if anyone’s interested. I’m sorry there’s no music, the laptop I’ve been using isn’t really capable of editing video.

For the next LD I’ll hopefully come more prepared.
