Hello, itch.io!

Firstly, thank you to anybody who might be reading this and for checking out my first game! In creating this game, and taking part in my first game jam, I had two main goals - to make a game, anything at all, and to record at least one original song for said game. I failed at the second one, but the first I have more than succeeded at. Again, thanks to anyone who took the time to check out Taptrap, and to all those that took part in Macro Jam #1 - I managed to play the majority of the submitted games, and I enjoyed all of them.

Now that the jam is long over, I have pushed a new version of the game, Taptrap v1.0.1. I intended to build and publish this version shortly after the jam, but after the intensity of a 96-hour jam, I felt a little disheartened. Alas, it's here now.

I mainly ironed out some of the biggest problems with the game, and implemented animations and art I didn't have time to work in before the game jam ended. I plan for this to be the final version of the game.

Additionally, I plan to write and publish a postmortem on my YouTube channel in the coming weeks to detail my thoughts about how the development of Taptrap went.  I will make a separate post when that goes live.

Regardless of my thoughts on the final product, I have found this experience both challenging and fun, and I look forward to making my next game, which will be created as part of GitHub's Game Off 2024 jam,. Thank you again to anyone who has played Taptrap.
