BEHIND THE SCENES

This game was made for the Ludum Dare 40 Compo. It was quite a stressful journey, but I'm happy that I managed to make it here.
I've always wanted to participate in a game jam, ESPECIALLY Ludum Dare. Now I have the chance, and the theme didn't suck as much as Ludum Dare 38, which I was ORIGINALLY going to participate in.

"Participate". Well I wasn't going to ACTUALLY participate, I just would've PRETENDED like I was in the competition.

You might realize that Jake's walking animation might be a little weird, and the music might suck balls. That's because I don't have much experience with walking animations and music.

I didn't even put on a shirt for most of the jam in order to save time and also, it got quite hot in my room. During the jam, I got EXTREMELY stressed out. This even carried on to when I was 'asleep'. I even had a 'mini-nightmare' which involved the deadline being 17 minutes after I 'woke' up. Later on, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to provide a download link before the Compo ended.

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy playing my game. I certainly poured my soul into it.
