#### Notes
This jam, I picked up Love2d just two days before the jam started. I wanted to try something new, and I'd been working with Lua over the past month, so it seemed like something I could learn pretty quick.

Well, it might have been a breeze, except that I made the choice to write a custom 3D renderer for the game. Unsurprisingly, that part took up most of the jam. I spent around 3/5 of my time coding the renderer, 1/5 on optimizing (because my code runs single-threaded on the CPU), and the last 1/5 on the game and content.

Last hour of the jam, I had to choose between adding more level design or adding music. I went with music. Took out my concertina (kind of like a mini accordion), alternated between playing notes and making wind noises with the bellows, overlapped the recording a few times, and added some reverb.

Game is pretty short as a result, but I'm satisfied with the atmosphere I found for it.
