MeteorStrike by D.B.O.NStudios
A short but fun game where you have to survive a meteor strike by getting a certain depth underground. My first Ludum Dare game I've made and its been an awesome learning experience! Looking forward to doing more of these in the future!

My first attempt was to dig straight down, Minecraft style. But I quickly ran out of ammo and got stuck. I hit pause and restarted, this time I realized being up top was the way to go. Slightly annoyed that I can't walk past the trees, but I stayed in the section I spawned in and tried to dodge the meteors. I failed. After working up the motivation to open the game again and try again, I got much the same result.
Also, protip: for your next jam, don't make an installer. Just let me run the executable.
Maybe jumping shouldn't be so floaty though. Very easy to get lost.
Lots of text is usually bad. Lots of games to play, little time or patience for reading, plus walls of text more often than not avert people
For a first LD I like it a lot, and congratulations.
With a bit more experience and polish, this would be really fun. :)
(Oh, this is a personal thing, but I hate using setups for LD games. When there's lots of games that do it, it clogs up my program files. Unless you have a good reason for doing it, I'd suggest not doing so. Not gonna mark you down for it or anything, like I said, just a personal peeve)
Thank you for playing my game too, by the way. :)
Pretty fun.
Strange to use installer although I just sandboxied it.
Way to go for a first LD game. Keep it up.
P.S. I'm so tired of installers(((((
