So it looks like there are no exploding Kittens for today, but I will get them sometime.<\/p>\n

Well we chose to use crafty.js (which neither of us has ever seen) to try a reverse tower defense game. We started writing our own AI controller but had troubles hooking in the components (just a lack of understanding of the js lang I presume). We are both chalking this one up to bad planning, but I think we are going to try and dev it in another language that we are more familiar with.<\/p>\n

As of now the game is scrapped, which means this is my(Zdolshin<\/code>) 2nd failed attempt at LD. I’ll be back again and hopefully next time I’ll have a better knowledge of a system I can use to build within time constraints.<\/p>\n

You can view my attempt as it is now at the test bed<\/a> location.
