My first Ludum Dare!

A fast paced "mini-game" collection with the main objective being to keep the timer from hitting zero, ultimately keeping it "alive".
The mini-games consist of:

  • Platformer
  • Simon Says
  • Racing Game
  • Space Shooter
  • Breakout
  • 1-Player Pong
  • Space Invaders
  • Snake
  • Frogger

My thoughts on this Ludum Dare?
It was pretty nice and calm until the last ~4 hours. That was extremely stressful, but overall I'm fairly content with what I've made in 3 days... or technically 1 Day 1 Hour 47 Minutes. The mini-games functionally I'm happy with, but graphically (as some I had to do the art myself) not so much. Well... all bar frogger and snake. I wanted to get the snake to move smoothly, but after many failed attempts, I gave up... it's a jam game after all. Frogger I didn't have time to look for sprites that I could use, and would they fit in the game even if I found some... probably not. Overall, however, I like the aesthetic of the game. Special thanks to Kenney (https://www.kenney.nl) for almost all of the graphics. The audio (all done by myself) I'm extremely happy with; the main song turned out really great and the sound effects fit well with the nature of the game.
