I guess you should mention that you can set more than one navigation point. With a turn based game you kind of expect to only do one action at a time. The idea could really work and with some music and audio it could now already be a decent way to pass time. Perhaps next time you can use the time leading up to the Jam to lear instead of the time during the Jam. Start the week before and every day you think of one thing you want to try.","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld41\/81550-a5e6d95cee33b7c4a27d66aa2548c790.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1YqoKt9oZcNQPYeaAcrfEq_B5QnEbeOYt","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"48668","g_author":"1010453","g_event":"LD41","g_eventkey":"72","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"246790","g_title":"Bullet Pause","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"1","g_site2_node_id":"81550","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"81550","n_urlkey":"246790","n_parent":"73256","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/41\/bullet-pause","n_slug":"bullet-pause","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"10453","n_created":"1524156511","n_modified":"1524480588","n_version":"252775","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":81550,"parent":73256,"superparent":9,"author":10453,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2018-04-23T10:49:48Z","created":"2018-04-19T16:48:31Z","modified":"2018-04-23T10:49:48Z","version":252775,"slug":"bullet-pause","name":"Bullet Pause","body":"Combination of turn-based and bullet hell.\n\nCONTROLS:\nWhen the game is paused, control is taken away from you.\nLeft click: Place a navigation point to move to\nRight click: Remove last navigation point (due to a bug, you cannot delete the first line you draw)\nEnter: Take turn\nEscape: Quit\n\nTL;DR: I bit off more than I could chew and gave up because I got too frustrated when LD is supposed to be fun.
