Although I was psyched with this compo, the fact that the theme is islands sapped my will to finish this game…<\/p>\n

Nothing wrong with it from a technical standpoint… no bugs, no nothing, it was terribly easy to code, to be honest…<\/p>\n

I did an island-based game last time, and bar remaking that one and improving it, I’m not having decent ideas for games, and there’s no point in wasting a whole weekend on this if I’m not having fun…<\/p>\n

Next competition I’ll be back… \":)\" And hopefully, I’ll be able to come up with a better idea that I actually want to finish… and I’ll practice my sprite animations, so I don’t lose 3 hours making a stupid and terrible walk cycle… \":)\"<\/p>\n

Good luck everyone! Last screenshot for the road:<\/p>\n
