This was my first time participating in Ludum Dare and also my first time making a game.The first thing that came to mind when I read the theme was trash, so I made a puzzle game about burning trash.
I was really inspired by the LD38 game 'Obelisk'. I loved the simplistic art style and the puzzle aspect.
In KAIO, you have to burn all the piles of trash with as few moves as possible. Rotating, swapping pillars and activating the flamethrowers all count as a move. Currently there are 13 levels with increasing difficulty.
Since I do not have any experience in making soundtracks, my friend (DarkPhoton) helped me out. That was also the reason for me choosing the Jam instead of the Compo.
A really big thank you to the Ludum Dare team for offering such an awesome competition. I learned a bunch of things all the way from game mechanics to level design and beyond.
