Hey thanks for the kind words ^^
The answer is sadly: not much sleep 😅
I had the mechanics done by Tuesday, then level design took longer than I though and it took me till Thursday night to get a complete playable game with mostly placeholder art (I had the Boss and the flying enemies done, because they were the last one I made, so there was no time for placeholder art anymore haha) then I slapped together menus and asked for playtesters who gave me good feedback.

Then the clock was ticking so friday I pretty much spent it all on the parallax background and the grass, I was trying to make the grass affected by the wind be part of the background and have the player, the enemies and the boss make the grass move when they attack, but it kind of didnt work and I lost like 4 hours on it so I dropped it and just made a normal parallax background and kept the grass just for the foreground since that part was working.

Then Saturday I went into panic mode haha and focused on the music, the audio and the story elements in the level and worked on the end of the game, with the "win screen" and all of that. At this point is was already late, so I pretty much spent the last night doing the final animations for the player, the walk, the jump/fall, the attack upward, downward and the 2 variations of the forward attack, the "hammer" enemy, the basic walking enemy and finally the charger. It was A LOT of animations, but the silhouette art style was part of the plan, making animation with silhouette makes the process a lot faster. Then I tried to plug in more audio that I though was missing but couldnt find much and tried to bug fix stuff that were not important so I just stopped there to not break anything since it was like 3am and I was tired, uploaded that build and worked on making the page pretty.

Woh, that's a lot of text haha.
Anyway thank you for showing interest and thank you for playing 🙏
