Data Escape by Maxialstar (first ever LD and first ever solo game!) by Maxialstar

Hiya! This is my first ever Ludum Dare and this is also my first solo game I've done (both art and programming). The result has been a bit rushed in order to meet the deadline and thankfully I have finished +-2 hours ahead of the deadline.
Gotta be honest: The game is crap. This was mostly done for fun and give myself a challenge over the weekend. I got an idea from the theme and I did it (to some degree, stuff was cut, including a narrative to explain the context of the game), so I can rest assured that I did it and I did on time.
Things I would change: - The visuals, I wish I could've worked on the visuals more, I feel it's a part that also needs polish, but I wanted to get the working product, the gameplay because that was my weakest point since I pretty much I don't have a background doing programming, so that was my Nº1 priority.
The gameplay - Thing is, when you die in the game, the object gets fully destroyed and I was trying to figure out (even asked a friend, who lended me a hand to figure out stuff in the later part of the jam) how to stop it from moving + displaying a death screen UI, and since I couldn't, I just ended up doing a restart level button you can see in the top right corner, which I do not like, but it has it's purpose. And I almost didn't also get that to work on time, but I did!
But in the end, I loved doing this, I knew this would be fun. I just wish I had prepared more code beforehand to implement and work with and have a better understanding of C#.
So yeah, nothing much else to say. The game is available from itch.io in the link below!
