Made for the 'Ready, set, godot!' gamejam. The gamejam's theme being to use a game engine you don't normally use. This was built using Godot in C#.

Download binary below for better shaders or if web build is too slow.

== Tech writeup ==

I normally use Unity for gamejams, so took a bit to get use to using Godot at first.

Coding wise, at first I wasn't a fan of godot's traditional inheritance based node structure, compared to Unity's more flexible (in my opinion) composition based design with it's components. But after making a few c# wrappers it was easy enough to treat direct children of spatial nodes as if they were components, and code in a composition style. With the wrapper redirecting spatial calls in the 'component', etc to it's parent. Nicely enough it's possible to create bare bone child nodes for this purpose in godot without any needless transformation/spatial data, something that's not possible to do in unity. Got fairly comfortable with godot at the end.

I had to use an older godot 3.5 to get web export support with C#, as unfortunately 4 doesn't support it yet (hopefully it will soon). Godot's had really quick startup, build, and export speeds, which was quite a nice change coming from unity.
