I should have practiced more with Unity before hand, a lot of time was spent trying to learn the engine and MonoDevelop honestly my LD39 submission is way higher in quality and much more of a game.

Also screw unity's build process, I have to upload a freakin zip because it spits out 3 files. Shoulda used Zero again! But I'm glad I got this experience with Unity.

I can appreciate it was more of a learning exercise, but I can't really get over that it's just not much fun to sit down and play. Maybe add a jump, some platforming challenges or something, Otherwise it really just turns into "Hold right or left till you get to the top of the hill."

I am rock god!

Looks good for a first pass at unity! It did seem I was able to get up the hill still with a large amount of rocks (I think that image had me carrying ~100 rocks). I had to get lucky though as if rocks hit me while I was trying to climb up they would push me back down.

Hope you keep with unity! (thats the main engine I've become familiar with)

Thank you for the feedback! yeah I made sure you were still able to move even when carrying large amounts of rocks (but I think there might be a bug with that), I thought about adding jump but wasn't entirely sure how that would really support the main purpose of the game (if I make an update I'll definitely add a jump mechanic though). It's a very bare bones game though, and hopefully my entry to next ludum dare will be much better than even my LD39 game!

Also thanks for understanding that this was more of a learning exercise!
