Sumo Si – the bumpin game

I was really busy this last weekend and unfortunately could not sit down for the entire weekend and do what I love, make video games! Find my game here!

Tools used:

• Libgdx (Java game library with free type font extra)
• paint.net (Graphics)
• Eclipse Luna (Java IDE)

The good:

• Completed game in around 8 hours
• no crashing errors
• a “high score” that is really just a win counter
• somewhat realistic physics
• simple and efficient user interface

the bad:

• lack of time
• not very good controls
• the “high score” is a total win counter
• do not need to touch the controls to win
• no type of story
• no sound effects or audio

Overall I would say this is a pretty decent effort for my second Ludum Dare ever given that I was only able to work on it for about 8-9 hours! If I could redo this game I would make it a more single player based game and not a game that looks like it should be played by two players. Should I polish(include several different opponents and a single player campaign and “upgrades)” it up and send it into the google play store!
