Well since this is my first Ludum Dare, I was relieved to find the theme to be something that was easily achievable, so I went ahead and made 'Skater Sketcher', the idea being that the player could be minimalistic, and do what minimalistic people do best, procrastinate. The game is surprisingly good for time killing, and I've wasted a good few hours of the competition already by drawing pictures, or rather attempting to draw something.
If anyone manages to draw something cool, do send me a screenshot, you can send them to me at - JohnBroadley93@gmail.com

Hey, sorry about this, my webhost is currently down! http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/webs.com.html so sorry about this!
And literally just as I say that, it's back up. Hallelujah!
Really liked it! Glad you got it all working in the end. Very soothing, lovely graphics and general aesthetic. You nailed the theme too, I think. Well done!
It's fun and smooth, I like it !
(but it could really be fun if you could support AZERTY keyboard also, because that's really hard to draw something with ZQSD :) )
Thank you! I'll look into fixing that, I wasn't thinking of an international release when I uploaded it sorry! My bad!
Yep, I successfully procrastinated on that one.
Nice and simple, fits the theme well :)
Thanks, and yeah, unfortunately I only ended up spending about 4-5 hours on this game, and thus there isn't a lot to it at the moment! Will hopefully add to it once I've finished development on my current project, http://www.johnbroadley.com/development
Cute! One random idea: Give the user a random noun to draw, display an online gallery of the attempts.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
1ST!
