I had a blast at my 1st Ludum Dare! I created all artwork (mostly photos... set the camera on timer mode and took some of myself as you will see) and SoundFX (regretably most of which involve a toilet) were created during the contest from scratch. The game is simple, you combine items in the Cauldron to see what happens. You win by creating a Doom Knight. Thanks everyone, cannot wait to see what you made too!
A bit of advice before what I've said: get someone to beta test - the spelling's a bit sloppy. That I haven't marked down for.
Innovation... it's been done before but not very often.
It's heaps of fun... until you get stuck and then try permutations without any success trying to work out how to make a damn "Army of the Dead". Once again, get people to beta test. Usually at least one person is watching IRC so you can usually get a tester (the blog isn't that well watched).
Niiiiiice job with the graphics. Even had some really nice touches with the animation and stuff.
I approve of this guitaring. And this toileting. Good job with the audio.
Monkey scientist :D
Overall a very good effort with pretty much just one really irritating bottleneck.
Apparently you've done some live update thingy which is good for community effort; however, a beta test or two would have been a very good idea - I suggest you make project dumps and release them while you're going through.
This would make a great kids game and is re-themable to educational items, which is great (i.e. actual elements combining to make compounds, to teach chemistry concepts).
