Ludum Dare 25

I don't think I mentioned that I participated in Ludum Dare 25. The theme was "You Are The Villain". My first couple of ideas were way too big in scope, so I decided I'd take a different look on a pre-existing game. I ended up with Konkey Dong! It's basically the old school Donkey Kong arcade game, but you get to play as DK...I mean KD this time around.

The original version can be played here:

I decided to fix up some of the parts that were lacking in the original and add a 2 Player mode. You can play the latest version here:

I felt like I was in a bit of a slump during the break, but Ludum Dare really changed that. The time pressure really motivated me to get something done quick and not worry about the code structure or other little details. I'm really happy that I participated and can't wait for Global Game Jam!
