Thank you so much for your encouragement and kind words! I learned a lot this game jam and gained valuable experience that I will use in the future for gaming and coding. First, I learned the importance of having a menu and clear directions. Secondly, I learned the importance of taking more time with my graphics and sound creation. Thirdly, I learned if you are going to kill a feature you can't just stop coding, you have to completely remove it. Finally I learned that rushing games isn't always the way, especially for beginners. But overall I had a wonderful time and plan to continue coding and creating games.
