Making it look less ugly
The game has gone pretty well. I added Network support but have it disabled now because I can't really test it on a lowly 56k modem (especially while hanging out in #ludumdare)
I made the Gribblies different colours. The light ones are now orangeish and the dark ones are bluish. It helps make them standout. They also have tails now which make them look cuter.
I ended up taking a easy way out for the map generation and just overlay two noise images to get the shapes. Perlin noise just wasn't working out.

The good news is the game is fun. I've had a blast when there has been people around to play with.
