Windows, Linux and Mac builds also included (compressed 7z), if you're into that. (Any problems on Linux or Mac won't be fixed - I don't have those platforms to test on).\r\n\r\n** Due to the competition being over, no changes will be made to fix obvious issues (like the end of the game). It should work mostly, though.\r\n\r\n\r\nStay on the platforms; don't touch the sand; make your way to the temple on the other side; do not feed the ancient stone beasts.\r\n\r\nThe goal is simple; get to the temple. But there's a lot of sand.\r\nAnd there's something, or some things, underneath the sand...\r\n(That's the theme part right there, if you missed it!)\r\n\r\nDifficulty ranges from 1 to 9; not saying how it makes it difficult, but if your computer isn't too great, it might have problems at 9. Or it might not, I haven't been able to test.\r\n\r\nWeb Player build seems to introduce some... 'Interesting' behaviors from the guardians. If they start acting weird, try jumping a couple times on the sand.\r\nOr don't; you could use it to your advantage instead.\r\n\r\nAll assets were created from scratch, with the exception of the player controller; that uses Unity's sample controller. But all the sounds, textures, scripts-that-aren't-the-player-controller, and models, were all made by me from scratch (if it wasn't already obvious!)\r\n\r\n*Source and Windows build will be uploaded later.","title":"Escape From Guardian (Fixed link!)"}
