My first Ludum Dare entry

Also my first published web game, so I'm looking at all of this publishing stuff for the first time during submission hour and it is a little nerve-wracking :P

I made it from scratch in html javascript

I used

Sublime Text 2

Photoshop (a really old version)

sfxr for sound effects

and Chrome (so try chrome if it doesn't work in your browser)

Overall I'm very happy with how it came out. I learned a lot during this compo about coding and about myself. The game didn't really show a lot of promise until the last couple hours but I think that it really came together.

I still think I could do a lot more with it and I might continue on it after LD36

I didn't get that much time to test it thoroughly, so let me know if there are any problems or any suggestions/ critique are welcome as well.

Thanks For Playing! Hope you enjoy!
