I had to cut out a lot of features and additional content I had planned to add (more interesting enemies, powerups, SOUND, MUSIC, etc) about 2 hours from the end.
I haven't programmed anything in this short a timeframe before and it kinda shows, and I'm still learning C++, but obviously I learned a lot.
In hindsight I probably spent too much time on the engine at the beginning, and I'll probably be using something ready-made next time.
There is a game in there... somewhere. I hope someone enjoys it, at least as much as I did making it.
(Also, in case anyone cares, the title is a play on "Pediculosis", which is an infestation of lice.)
EDIT: I updated this slightly, see journal entry here: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2012/04/26/rediculosis-final/
