'Dungeon Escape' by designatius

[raw]
made by designatius for LD27 (JAM)
Hi, we are Appnormals Team and this is our first participation in a LudumDare event. Our game is called 'Dungeon Escape'. The goal is very easy: you must help the explorer to escape each dungeon in 10 second runs, managing his right path to the exit. You need to avoid borders, fire and holes, and the only thing you need to do is switch arrows to choose the right path. But be careful with those grey arrows, they are locked and it's easy to get trapped or fall apart!

We have designed a few levels for now, but we want to keep working on the basics to make a bigger and better game very soon. We're very happy with our first experience in a LudumDare contest and we'll be joining the event in the future, no doubt! We hope you like our 'Dungeon Escape' little game by the way!

I liked the music a lot! It was catchy. I also really liked the concept, interesting to have a speed puzzler.

Cool real-time puzzle concept, and great art/music! Deliciously unforgiving...

Really solid. Would be great as a mobile game. My main issue was death penalty was a bit cruel, but still was very fun.

Nice little game. Simple, but fun. Only thing I would have to say I didn't like is that the game started at the first level again when I died. Got myself to level 6 before I had to sadly give up :( Good work for your first LD!

Very nice game, whoa! Fantastic graphics and easy game mechanics. Great take on the theme.

Quickly becomes quite challenging. Really liked the Indiana Jones-got-to-slide-through-the-door-just-in-time-feeling :)

Thanks to everyone for the nice feedback & comments! We haven't had time to make checkpoints or something less hard than pure game over each time you die. But we'll fix that for sure! :)

I hate you for making me start over, but I love you for reminding me of Chu Chu Rocket.

Love the concept! The fact that you have to start from the beginning is sort of frustrating, buuuut if you're planning to expand on this, that kind of thing is something that could have its own dedicated game mode with its own rewards and perks.

Really solid stuff!

Really interesting fun game. Love the graphics as well. I featured it in my Ludum Dare 27 compilation series if you'd like to check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biBzDWmV3kc

Nice game! This really is that kind of game that has you sitting at the tip of the chair, completely focused on the screen and clicking franctically! hahaha
Reached level 5 I think! Then it gets really messy to keep adjusting the path in front of the character and at the same time checking back to see if he isn't stuck in some stupid place. hahaha
This would really make a cool mobile game! Congrats buddy!
