Monster - Prison Break by Gaius Baltar
You play as a convicted felon *insert charges here* who just finished murdering a cop within his cell. Now the other cops want revenge, but can you escape the prison? No, you can't.
- May glitch on certain systems.. or all. It works on my PC but not so well on my laptop. Both have the same operating system.
- Sound effects are included but they might not work either...
- some features were cut, like fancy blood particles and items
- this is my first entry so hopefully everything goes smoothly with the data transfers and all.
- Have fun! or don't..
- Modified game in order to keep the player in the same level after death and not send them back to the beginning.
Just changed an integer variable for this edit.

@Jimbly that was (sort of) intentional. The dark floors add an extra challenge (is how I reasoned with myself when I saw them in-game and didn't want to change them anymore).
Second level: trick from first level doesnt work so i must kill them all
Third level: the turnig player is not good because you move with player too much. After my death i dont want to start at level 1
should be fixed now though.
Best game mechanics trip - run to wall and shoot to bouncing bullets back. Clean everything by this way
Great!
I liked being able to make a bullet-hell for the opponents for once, the bouncing bullets is a very nice mechanic.
@inurashii I was thinking the same thing about only that one cop having a gun, seems a little suspicious. Maybe there's a conspiracy developing here. Was that cop going to kill the player in order to hinder him from revealing harmful information? Maybe the player was framed.
About the tediousness, I found that, at least in level 1, you can speed run it and survive. I suppose level 3 would be the actual tedious bit due to it's length and difficulty.
Some variety in the encounters would have also helped, but that might be too much to ask within the time limit. Anyway great work for a first entry!
@MegasDragos1 The AI isn't great at all :D the entities are basically homing missiles, but the fact that you can just run through level one without killing anything was sort of intentional.
The black wall tiles and black ground tiles on level 3 made it more challenging to see what was actually walkable area, but I managed! Just takes patience.
Needs some death noises--it would add more satisfaction to the killing!
Overall well done--especially for a compo--and congrats on your first entry! (This was my first LD as well!)
