#js13k day 13: one of my testers pointed out how hard it is to land massive jumps because they can't predict where they would land, so I added a simple camera shift based on altitude. Probably going to submit within the next few days. #gamedev

#js13k day 12: first playtest session, got tons of valuable feedback. Campaign is now mostly polished, added gamepad controls, probably going to focus on polish now. 230 bytes remaining. Here's me doing a combo using a PS4 controller #gamedev

#js13k day 11: first version of the icon

Trying to resist the urge to make this a feature... #js13k #gamedev

#js13k day 10: physics are more realistic than ever 🙈 #gamedev

#js13k day 7: Physics adjustments, and UI polish #gamedev

Day 5: colors and visual details 87%, probably going to have to do an optimization pass soon #js13k #gamedev

Day 4: rainbows and crash animations Almost all the systems are ready to be put together Next: have it playable end to end File size: 80% #js13k #gamedev

Day 3 of #js13k: shoving as many core mechanics as I can before I start running out of space. Currently at 66% file size. Unicorns are a thing. Tomorrow, rainbows 🌈🌈🌈 #gamedev

Soon, this will actually look like a unicorn... #js13k

Day 1 of #js13k: no unicorns yet, but we have physics
