A Bit Disappointed

Hey! I had a lot of fun with this jam, but I didn't have the time to finish :(

I'm a single developer working on a 12-year old laptop I bought at Wal Mart for $150.00. I'm also a hermit, living out of a broken-down RV in Arizona's Sonoran desert where I worked 12-16 hours a day outside in 110 degree heat. My computer died at least four times a day, and I barely made it in (41 seconds) before the deadline. 

When my game got played by people on regular computers, it was WAY too fast.

I submitted to this jam hoping to find some people interested in my work. I provide everything free... I ONLY make money by donations. It isn't fair to have turned this product in and expect people to want to see more of what I can do, but everything else I have are almost all demos and small games made for jams for the same reason... all of which suffered from the same problems.  I've lost all my worldly belongings several times in my life, including all my old work, so I really have nothing to show that I've been making games for the past 33 years.

This is the closest game I've come to finishing very nicely that I could make into a complete product. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to take a look and follow my progress until it's something more presentable.

Thanks for having a look!

So you are disapointed because of not finishing your work?

Yeah. It takes me about five minutes to switch back and forth between Visual Studio and Unity, another five if I made a single change to anything, and twenty to run in test mode. It was a long week full of wanting to hurl my laptop in a river, but I live in a desert, so there aren't any around. Also a bit disappointed that my computer runs so slow that the game other people are playing is not the game I thought it would be. I beat the game to make sure you could, but on a regular computer it's so fast that you die in a second or two.
