Thanks for your comment! I completely agree with you, while technically the game is complete (it has a game loop, it has a boss fight, it has a couple secrets) it isn't quite what I had originally planned. I had to cut out much of the particle system and the whole sound system to finish the actual meat of the game in time, which lead to much of the juice being absent. That being said, I'm proud of what I managed to make in five days. Maybe I'll take this game as a proof of concept for a larger project someday...
Also, I have plans to make some serious pygame boilerplate helper modules for project use in the future. As of right now, I rewrite every system from scratch for each new project. Not very effective :(. These helper modules should allow me more time in future jams to polish up my entries. Thank you for playing my game!
