Ice Runner - Ludum Dare #43

This is the first successful game jam for me.

The theme was fairly good this time, which makes all the difference. I found that it’s worth spending more time at the beginning brainstorming ideas rather than just going with the first thought that comes to mind.

Defold is really ideal for this sort of project. It allowed me to focus on the game itself and get stuff working very quickly indeed. This is the first time I’ve attempted a platform type game and there were no issues to speak of apart from a bug where the player can ‘stick’ to walls. If anyone asks, it’s an unused game mechanic.
