Escape by madalaski

[raw]
made by madalaski for LD31 (COMPO)
A small, fun, little pretentious game where you play, shoot and dash your way through 15 levels. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the boss battle finished in time but I may update it in the future.

(Sidenote: There is not a respawn button or respawn screen because I made a special effort making sure that the entirety of the game took place on one screen. I managed to get this to the extent that the entire game is actually on one level (You can check the source code if you want there.) Sorry for the inconvenience.)

(SideSidenote: Sorry about the second level with the little'uns. You're meant to have a machine gun on the level but I do not believe it works as I put the image on there and not the actual gameobject/prefab... Whoops...)

Controls were a bit sloppy at start, but then I got used to it! Cool game! Would've wanted to see a respawn button to continiue from where I died. Oh, and cool BGM!

The screen's a bit cramped, else dodging would be easier. Some sounds are annoying (wall hit) while others that would be useful are missing (portal generation). I also have beef with the three-shot upgrade, since it feels like a downgrade in a lot of ways.

Fun enough, though.

Could not get past the level with the 6 flying monsters. It was a bit hard to get in at first, but it went up from there :)

Hi there. Difficulty spike at second level with small mobs, two levels after getting three-shot-gun. Liked the sounds and look. Good job!

I actually liked the controls. Controlings the mouse felt nice. I got destroyed in the later levels where a swarm of small enemies spawn and I died in less than 2 seconds.

One thing I noticed is that enemies don't damage you when you're already touching them. I'm guessing it's because you put the dmg script into OnTriggerEnter :P

Good job !

Nice little arcade game. However I don't think it fits the theme as much, since the game may be on one level, but it feels like there are different screens. But I guess I am being a bit fundamentalistic here ;)
All in all nice little game.

Cool game, but I didn't realize that you could dash until I read the instructions on Kongregate. This made beating the level with 6 flying creatures impossible, but once I realized it I was able to finish the game. One small fix I would make is that the yellow score is hard to see against the white background.

The game itself was fun, don't think I've ever controlled a mouse like that! :)

shooting was not working from start or something..
you should also try to put in 're-play' button at the end

It's an okay game. The sounds can get a bit annoying, and there needs to be a restart button when you die, but the difficulty curve is good and the game is pretty fun!

So firstly, when I tried to play it on Kongregate, the game wouldn't load - just stayed as a white box. Now onto my thoughts: I really liked it! despite not being able to play it well due to my keyboard and track pad conflicts, i thought it was pretty nice and fun especially for LD. Good job. That being said... it seems to me like you kind of failed at the theme :S Correct me if I'm wrong.

This is a very unique dash effect :) I could not pass the level with the very fast flying creature. It start very quick and I was dead by the time I could start move.

Awesome game! Trial version sound odd. This game plays great for free but not for sale. overall 5/5
