• Reflection and Credits:

This was my first Ludum Dare (54), but I have been doing 9 day jams called Godot Wild Jams. I was extremely satisfied with the amount of data structures, and dynamic infrastructure of the data I was able to implement. I can add new weapons, levels, roguelike upgrades, items, and mods fairly easily now, and I hope you enjoy the concept.

I keep telling myself not to over scope, especially when alone, but I can’t help myself lol. Making a game of this scale alone, is extremely difficult, so I apologize for not having the art and mechanics fully polished.  

I composed the music, but not for this jam, the sound effects are from free sound.

I wanted to make pixel art for each of the icons, but I didn’t have time for that either. For now, praise the placeholders!

• Platforms

I will also be updating this page later, and providing my source code on github. I originally planned to release compo, but I also wanted to get all the features in that I originally planned to get in.

Also, I’ll look into uploading a Windows or a Mac version later, but for now its only Browser based. In order to play browser, you need something called Cross Origin Isolation, so its better to play on itch.io if it doesn’t work here. (Edit: All platforms should work now, but mac might be annoying with Gatekeeper)

Please let me know if this is something worth continuing to build upon :D
