The Escape by zeoverlord

[raw]
made by zeoverlord for LD26 (COMPO)
Though i had a bit of a problem with my coordinate systems (as in many of them) i think it turned out great.
Even if i didn't encounter those bugs there would be little more to add, perhaps savepoints, fuel level and a bigger map.

The controls are pretty self evident and dare i say "minimalistic", it's just WSAD to move and ESC to quit.

F-Secure tells me this is a virus (Gen:VariantKazy.86183)
So do a couple of other scanners on VirusTotal.com, but may be a false alarm. You should try to fix that.

Ran it sandboxed.
Gameplay is excellent. Pixelstyle & sound effects fit the game very well. Overall 4 stars for the game.

Nice game! I think it turned out nicely too and would be even better with obstacles and collectibles of some kind. It really reminds me of the 'Down the Tubes' level EWJ.

Good job, bit there was one bug that made the background show through the tile edges though.not a problem,just a bit annoying.

@zerebruin i scanned it myself with AVG and it does not complain, i would probably say its a heuristic check being overzealous.
I don't know how to go around fixing it though.

@Lizzip what version of windows and what drivers do you use?

Hey there, some error message as well (Win XP, 32-bit):

When I want to launch the game, following message comes up:
"ERROR
Cannot get Proc Adress for CreateContextAttribs"

This was a long ride. Couldn't let go though. Luckily I had unlimited fuel. I'm not sure what the landing plattforms inbetween do. I would have prefered smooth scrolling.
I read the comments after playing this. I'm concerend about the virus notifications of virus total...

Same error as SuperlevelSebastian on Win 7

@SuperlevelSebastian @messiano i think that error happens when your graphics drivers don't support at least openGL 3 or if something else is wrong, when i get it it does resolve itself after a reboot.

@intripoon the game was supposed to have save points and a fuel level, but obviously they got cut in the end, now they are more of a place for you to rest a bit without taking damage.

Runs for me. A shame that it's limited to qwerty, it gets a bit complicated on an azerty keyboard. I usually get around that by switching the keyboard in Windows, but for some reason this doesn't even work when running your games. Supporting azerty is easy, take W *and* Z as up, Q *and* A as left, poof, done.

Apart that, neat controls, I did some exploration and didn't see the end of the maze. This lacks some challenge: limited fuel enemies, etc., but it could be a good start for a proper game.

Nice Lunar Lander/Gravity Force style game. Few bugs (background lines after scrolling), but good job.
