It was a close one, but I made it! This my entry for Ludum Dare 47. The theme was "stuck in a loop", so I made a game about a robot mower stuck in a forward moving loop which have to be turned by the player. The initial plan was to make it working for mobile, but as a novice my time was spent figuring out basics. But I'm content with the result, and at least it has the core elements of a game.
There is no grand goal in the game, just to get as many patches of grass cut as possible within the time until the battery runs out (unfortunately you can only reach 31 tiles before the battery runs out, and there are no power ups to charge it). The game starts immediately, but if I had a bit more time or skill I had added a delay or start screen. I still learned a lot during this LD, hopefully some time I can even participate in the compo.
I participated in the jam alone. All assets are done by me with Krita (art) and LMMS (sound).
