Hooray! Entering this competition was a great experience to have and let me actually know what it was like working under a deadline. I had to cut a lot of ideas and fancy things from the final product in order to make it a functioning game, but I'm happy how it turned out even though there isn't much to it. I will most likely enter when the next LD comes around and hopefully be more experienced so I can create something more complex. Thanks to everyone who kept me going and Ludum Dare for an awesome 48 hours.\r\n\r\nTools Used\r\nC# 2010 Express with XNA 4.0\r\nAdobe Flash CS5\r\nsfxr\r\nSWFSheet\r\nPaint.NET<\/p>","title":"Saharan Scurry"}
