(fantastic chip tunes btw)\rIn future, you may want to regulate your movement with a timing multiplier to prevent this speed up. (multiply every movement calculation by a float that is initially set to 1f, that way if this happens you can just set the multiplier to 0.8f or whatever to get the desired result)\rWell done; I gave it fairly high marks across the board."},{"author_name":"RHY3756547","author_uid":"7339","time":"Dec 22, 2011 @ 6:40pm","epoch":1324578900,"text":"Theme 1\/5: Kittens isn't the theme."},{"author_name":"RHY3756547","author_uid":"7339","time":"Dec 22, 2011 @ 6:43pm","epoch":1324579080,"text":":U"},{"author_name":"summaky","author_uid":"1885","time":"Dec 26, 2011 @ 4:58pm","epoch":1324918380,"text":"It was hard but short.

A cute-em-up that you control with the mouse.\r\n\r\nThis is my first jam game for Ludum Dare. It was kind of nice, having more time, but unfortunately that was offset by my inability to devote completely all of my time towards LD.\r\n\r\nSo it kinda balanced out. However, I think Stitch is perhaps my most polished LD entry as of yet in terms of gameplay.\r\n\r\nBut that came at the cost of content. Level one is complete but that's it. However, don't fear, I will working on the other three levels in a post-compo edition -- including the animated intro\/ending that I had to cut.\r\n\r\nNote there are two bugs:\r\n\r\n* \"Fishbones collected\" stat is not properly keeping track of the number of fish bones you acquire in a level.\r\n* The game plays a bit too fast -- I tuned everything when I was in a debug SWF inside the debug Flash player. So level 1 is a bit harder than I intended it to be.<\/p>","title":"A Stitch in Time"}
