The graphics look alright and the console idea sounds very interesting, haven't actually tried it tho cause of the python/pygame barrier.

Saiodin, I'm going to be rewriting it in C++/SDL soon. I have gotten a few messages about pygame being accessible.

Actually, i couldn't play, but graphics are looking pretty good !

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

I really like the color palette you used, very nice. Your game is pretty minimal, it is a shame you did not get to implement any goals or game logic, the idea is neat and suits the theme well.

From a coding perspective, the frame rate is inconsistent because you call pg.image.load and transform for each update. Creating new image contexts is expensive, so you should load and scale the images once, and store them for re-use in your draw method.

It is nice that you used PyGame, I have a couple PyGame entries myself and wish more people would use it :)

I love the idea of a using a bug left by the dev to explore!

Thanks for the feedback everyone! As the first game I've ever made, I think I did alright even though it has some problems. I will be rewriting this game in C++/SDL eventually, it will all be free and open source. If you are interested in the development of this game, I suggest you follow me on github for updates: https://github.com/whitephoenix0/

Once again, thanks everyone!
