This is the first Global Game Jam project I am actually happy with, despite having participated for two years prior. My role was primarily in getting the animations and interactions between sprites correct, and in helping the other programmers where needed. The game runs abysmally slow, as expected of an ambitious game made by inexperienced college kids in 48 hours, but the concept is good. After we had finished the game proper and I was working on the trailer, Speedy let others at the event play the game, and he managed to survive for a very tense several minutes before ratings dropped to 0 - signaling a game over.
