The camera movement was a bit wonky. Also sometimes not all key presses would register. \r<br\/>I wouldn't say it's hard, I would say it's impossible.

Once you collect 5 pieces you can travel to the next world to do it all over again.  After 4 worlds you will win and make it back home.\r\n\r\nThe game controls using the Arrow Keys to move and the X key to wait in place.  Monsters only move when you press a key, either moving or waiting.  To attack a monster you have to be next to it and move into the monster.  A new monster will appear every 8 moves and deadlier monsters appear as you collect more teleporter pieces.\r\n\r\nSince it's Java based I'm distributing it in a runnable JAR file.  In theory it should work cross-platform, but I only tested on Windows, let me know if there are any issues on other systems.  The Source is a zip of the LibGDX generated Eclipse projects.\r\n\r\nI used Java, LibGDX, Paint.NET, sfxr, and autotracker to make the game.\r\n\r\nThe game is very hard right now, if I do any more with the game one of the first priorities would be to tweak the difficulty.","title":"Teleporter Escape!"}
