Started Ludum Dare for the first time ever! I am ecstatic.

This theme is “Growing” and / or “Two Button Controls”. I’m attempting both in a rhythm-type game. You start off as some dude who wants to grow spiritually. So you walk through life and do interesting things: talk to people, read books, look in a mirror.

Eventually your spirit grows. And grows. And grows. The spirit then must defend itself from evil spirits in a bullet-frenzy shoot-em-up that culminates in a gigantic battle with The Spirit of the World!

Or something like that. Here’s what I got after 3.5 hours. It has a long way to go!
