Did not get enough sleep last night, meaning I’ve been LudumDare-ing as a part-zombie, but that’s fine… \u00a0\ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

Anyway, while working on your game make sure to consider how balanced it is. \u00a0If the game feels really easy to you, don’t go “bah it’s too easy, time to buff the difficulty” without having some playtests from people who have NOT played the game. \u00a0If you’re getting to the point of “AARGH I HATE THIS GAME” because you keep failing, like I do, then I think the difficulty may need some tuning down. \u00a0\ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

Still going strong, nearing a grand total of 20 levels in my game, the last of which are REALLY HARD and make me feel like I made the next rage game. \u00a0Picture time, then I’m going to go balance the hardest levels!<\/p>\n
