This was the first time we did a game jam together and the first time we made a complete game together at all. It was thus also the first game we developed in the Unity environment, which was the engine we choose to develop it in. We both had experiences with the engine before -- but had never accomplished to take a game from an idea to actually publishing it.

Only having three days on us initially was quite the challenge since we didn't have the experience mentioned -- and we needed to submit the game late in the end due to the game not being complete before the first deadline had run out. We were however able to submit the game late -- and we are very thankful for this -- because we learned a ton in the process and succeeded to make a level that you can play from start to finish with both music and sound effects. We also succeeded in making two endings of the game; one where you die and one where you escape the curse.

We learned a lot about Unity's tiling system and some about it's UI text features. I think we did a good job with splitting up the work and we both showed a willingness to work and were motivated to complete the game. For two programmers, working with the creation of sprites, tiles, music and sound-effects -- it it's not all that common to work in those areas too -- but we learned things about those areas too.

In our opinion, we came up with great ideas for how to interpret the themes and conditions of the jam, with mushrooms (which was the theme of the jam) being a big part of the environment and the loop being present that kept getting wider the more you progressed, making you able to run in whatever direction you choose to.

All in all I think that, although the game wasn't submitted in time, we did learn a lot from this jam and we did make a fully playable game -- so I consider it a success and we will take with us everything that went good and learn from everything that went bad.
