However, the shield kind of makes the rhythm aspect not exist if you shoot well. It's also not too innovative; I've seen plenty of games in a similar vein before. Consequently, the game isn't that fun for me; it's just like dozens of other games I've played before. In the future, I'd recommend trying to be a little more innovative; golf with moving objects can already be considered rhythm.","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld41\/81997-28bb8a492444d8f56620ca336fdb7174.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1MuoyLoDY_bGDl7PQJmPn2SUKIMQh94RO?usp=sharing","text":"Source Code and Game"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1P2YFXJYnCJxNoItzL-HqoTM7HyJN2Hh5","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"50569","g_author":"1017553","g_event":"LD41","g_eventkey":"72","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"249010","g_title":"My First Ludum Dare!","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"1","g_site2_node_id":"81997","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"81997","n_urlkey":"249010","n_parent":"73256","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/41\/my-first-ludum-dare","n_slug":"my-first-ludum-dare","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"17553","n_created":"1524182972","n_modified":"1524423813","n_version":"243202","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":81997,"parent":73256,"superparent":9,"author":17553,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"compo","published":"2018-04-22T19:03:33Z","created":"2018-04-20T00:09:32Z","modified":"2018-04-22T19:03:33Z","version":243202,"slug":"my-first-ludum-dare","name":"My First Ludum Dare!","body":"Well I did it.
