Short Post Mortem
Had a late start so I didn't make the 48 hour competition. I had to take a lot of shortcuts so everything became much smaller than what was originally planned. There are a few collision bugs. I need to spend some time working outside of these competitions to refine this skillset. All in all I'm pretty happy with the result.

An interesting take on the theme of this Ludum Dare, and one I would not have expected to see.
It is imaginative and in impressive when realizing it was made with pygame.
Though I feel this game could have benefited from a little more substance. I know the short amount of time likely had something to do with that, but I still feel as though I was just getting started when the game just shut down.
I would have loved to play more!
