You're just going through life as an unshadowed capsule, when Suddenly, Ninjas! They seem to have an attack pattern that involves bouncing around aimlessly for 10 seconds and then retreating. I hear they're weak to fire!

This is my first entry to LD, and I'm very glad to have committed my weekend to it. This has been such a great learning experience, I really had no idea just how much the pressure of the clock forces you to improvise and commit to less-than-perfect.

I am obviously not an artist, but I do some audio work and have experience with Unity. If I could do something different next time...I wouldn't, because what I floundered with showed me what I need to work on for next time. I'll open up Blender more than twice a year, for a start!

(I probably could have done without spending a few hours researching shaders I was never going to write)

Just realized that there's no quit button on the executable. Whoops. Alt-F4 ftw!

The game's difficulty varies by resolution, and seems to perform really poorly on web. I don't have the profiling tools to really figure out why, but it's still playable.
