Alone and stranded is a survival game, I know my source and game could use some work but my game changed a lot in terms of ideas and I got rid of a lot of ideas I had for it. I also gave up for a while, so it's probably more like 30-40 hours rather than 48. I'm happy I finished it though.
Using the installer is annoying. It means I have to find the program in Programs and Features and uninstall it after I've finished playing. The game itself was just a button mash, and I seem to have just randomly won without passing a certain survival chance %, unless I missed something.
Keep working at it and next time, don't use the installer, and I'm sure you'll make a more complete game come next Ludum Dare.
Congratulations on sticking with it and submitting your game! I found this one pretty hard to figure out, although I experimentally guessed the controls after awhile. I am sure you've learned a lot this time, and I look forward to playing your submission for the next one.
I realized I had left the button Q as instawin while I was testing it. I wanted to have a much more complete game and I had written the systems to do so, but I had issues which I later realized was caused by not calling my methods long after I gave up on the code. It was going to have different areas and more dialogue but the last few hours it turned into a if statement mess.
As for the installer, my game wasn't running on a friends computer when I gave him the standalone version, so I basically gave up with it.

The game itself has a concept, but it no variety. Just seemed like a button mash that only works 40% of the time.
