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!

Greetings!
