About the development

This was my 10th Ludum Dare! Unlike most times, I actually had a flood of ideas right off the bat for this theme. However, this also gave me an emotion I have never felt during a LD brainstorm session before: analysis paralysis. I couldn't pick any of my ideas. I actually went to bed Friday night without even starting the game. I slept on it, and decided that this 1-screen infinite runner was really the only feasible choice of the bunch given that I'd already wasted a quarter of the compo time.
