Ludum Dare #37compo
Jewel Defender
Defend the gems against the hordes of evil robots! Build traps, including dropping stones and swinging swords to do so!
This is my first Ludum Dare, I found it quite interesting to finish a small game, and learned a lot from the process! I was only able to spend about 10 hours on it, due to a cold, and prior commitments, and while I didn't make as much progress as I would like, I learned much about more typical Unity physics, especially colliders and raycasting.
I used Unity, a bit of Blender, and sfxr for sound effect generation.

I'm trying to decide how far to take this. The way the game is structured it would be fairly easy to extend it, but I'm curious to see if you think it would be worth extending it. In particular it's a question of working on this project or my much more polished sea trading game, which you can also see more info about at one of the above sources.

Tip: If you want me to play the game again (or find it) name the downloaded folder/zip something other than "Windows". I already had 6 other "Windows" folder from other Ludum Dare games ;)
But good effort for your first Ludum Dare though! Overall it's a neat game.
Thanks for reviewing my game, to return the favor I'll review yours!
I figured out the mechanics and what I supposed to do pretty quick without the game needing to explain it to me, so good job on that front.
It took me a while to figure out what the rotate buttons were for. Once I did I wished there were hotkeys for them.
Pretty good for a first timer on your own. ;)
Go for it and continue! The hardest part is actually to keep pushing projects through to the end! ;)
Well, that's an awesome start! Can't imagine how good the game would be if you had more time.
I don't know if the balls calculate their way to the gem, but if yes, you could do a really great strategy stuff by posing some blocks to draw their path!
Great entry, and congratulations for participating despite your problems =)
