This was my first ever time attempting Ludum Dare and it went about as well as I expected. Me being an idiot, spent two days making a player controller and particle effects before I even began working on the gameplay. Speaking of gameplay, this theme was a nightmare for me. The game started off as you going to defeat a boss and your attack causes the enemy to spin repeatedly in a loop forever. Scrapped that idea and eventually came to what it is now. You spawn on an island and fight alien things forever. However, the aliens for whatever reason don't move. Instead they float into the heavens. What can I say, I'm disappointed that my game ended up a failure but at least I can say I tried and did everything myself.Capture2.PNG

Forgot to mention you can press Shift while moving to dash and hold right click to hover.​

You tried and thats what is important. For what its worth I like the level and the lighting you used in it :)

This is great for a first ludum dare entry! I like the general atmosphere, and the projectiles feel very satisfying to fire.

It's definitely better than my first attempt at a 3d ludum dare game....

Really appreciate all the kind words everybody. Was genuinely kinda depressed after time ran out and I hadn’t finished. You guys really made me realize that at the very end of the day I learned a lot and that it was a fun experience. I am definitely gonna practice more for next time! :)
