My entry is an infinite runner style game on a sphere. I took inspiration from the sphere mini-game on Sonic 3 but themed it around D&D. It only has 1 map presently and no "victory" condition, but the engine loads maps from files so creating and adding more is very possible. Just use the left and right arrows to turn (or keys if you download the desktop version).

What went right The library I used (libgdx) worked great allowing me to skip the low-level code and get straight to making a game. Additionally I have already ported it to the web and plan to add an android port soon as well.

What went wrong My trying to figure out the 3D math to get the sphere to turn in the correct direction took most of Saturday and left little time to create actual maps.

What's next I plan to add map packs and teleporting between levels. To that end I will be adding gates and keys. Also sound effects and multiple lives seem fairly simple and would add some polish to the overall play. Given more time animations could be added so as the character flying instead of just sliding around.
