Personal achievements: In a short time-span, I created a complete game with multiple levels and a speed-running incentive.

Challenges: The time restriction of the game jam may have encouraged me to finish the game, but it also challenged me. Apart from the burnout, I also heavily relied on the Unity GUI which led to scalability issues towards the end. Also I did not have time to fix some obvious bugs in the game.

What I learned: I learned about the importance of having a strong foundation. Although my code was manageable, I felt I could've created a bigger game with more levels if I didn't spend so much time working on redundant problems. I also received great feedback from the game jam community, who explained that my tutorial needs to be more thorough. My goal for future projects is to restructure how I code and focus on creating a game primarily in C# and using the editor as a renderer & compiler rather then relying so heavily on the GUI.
