A week or two ago I decided to join TrueValhalla in the 555 Challenge. The challenge was to make 5 HTML5 games in 5 days. Boy, was it difficult. The challenge was designed to teach the devs how to find a simple idea, prototype it, and polish it into something playable in less than 24 hours. This last step is what killed me, I could never get the polish on before the time limit.
