DEVELOPMENT

Vast majority of the code and much of the UI by @ciaranw . Graphics, level design and story by @teto .

Our second jam together! After churning out a ridiculous amount of content for LD46 and not getting time to polish the game, we decided that a simpler game with less content and more polish would be the way to go especially since I (Teto) had to work for 9 hours on the Saturday. This is not what happened and yet again, I drew over 150 individual graphics and Ciaran churned out a stupid amount of code...

It took us quite a while to come up with the initial idea but once it came (and sleep and work was out the way) the idea spiralled and became more complex than we would have initially wanted. However, despite not having time to add any sound at all this time round or do all the animation tweaks, we managed to produce this cute lil' game!

With UI being a big feature in this game and only Ciaran having very limited knowledge of how to create a UI, this was a big challenge for us with a lot of tutorial watching and googling being done. There were quite a few things we'd originally wanted to add that didn't make it into the game because of how time consuming creating the UI was but it was definitely a greatly educational crash course!

Only managed to do a playthrough after release which revealed a few minor bugs which we sorted after work the next day to release it all fully working on browser! It was nice for Ciaran to see the puzzles for the first time and try and solve them which allowed us to make a couple of tweaks to balance the difficulty a little by adding resources and made sure the levels worked properly.

We hope to do a post-jam version including all the features that we made but didn't manage to include so stay tuned and thanks for reading!
