Made in 48 hours from idea to release. I joined Ludum Dare 29 with a clear vision in my mind: To
make an art game. So basically this time I wanted to focus more on art style, presentation &
graphics than on programming or technical excellence.

 

What went right:

  1. Deadline was clearly set and I finished my work several hours before it. So the timing was
    perfect.
  2. The game was complete – all the levels, features, objectives.
  3. Art style was exactly the same as it was in my head during the planning stage.
  4. Players liked it!

 

What went wrong:

  1. I should have put more focus on the main character.
  2. I thought that nobody will finish the game, so i didn’t make an game end screen. I was wrong.
  3. I didn’t vote on other games, so my score multiplier was small.

As you can see the game is 3D almost without textures, it is just colors and lights with some 3D
models and funny sounds.

This way I managed to cut on time spent drawing and could afford to put more time into programming
game mechanics.

 

Spoiler:

Hats included as a game mechanic! 🙂

Using mind switch you can transport your consciousness to any other character and use them for any task.
