Ended up having a pretty hectic Sunday night to get it in, but I did manage to make it. I believe this is my first LD with any sound in the final game, it’s also my first start-to-finish HTML5 game. Bits and pieces of the development cycle suck, but it’s hard to beat the convenience of clicking a link and suddenly you’re playing in your browser.<\/p>\n

Captain Sarah is a game where you maintain a space ship as a chimp. Shoot and dodge asteroids, and at the end of each stage, pick a potentially life-saving bonus (you get to choose one of a random 3).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Overall it’s not quite as deep as I would have liked (lull stages! space pirates! hand-tuned weapons! food types!) but it’s not a bad coffee break game. I’m yet to find any significant balance issues (no matter what I do it’s pretty hard past level 7), but that’s not to say they don’t exist! Looking forward to some feedback.<\/p>\n

Here’s the game page, have at it!<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m considering a postmortem later in the week, would people be interested in that sort of thing?<\/p>","time":"December 16th, 2013 4:31 am","title":"Captain Sarah \u2013 Made it for the Compo"}
