Freedom by orangepascal

[raw]
made by orangepascal for LD26 (COMPO)
I decided to make a prequel to my LD#23 entry Predicament, the gameplay is the same, but with a bigger focus on minimalistic.

You find your self in a room, and your goal is to find a way out.. just like in Predicament there really IS a way out (some people still believe the previous game had no exit !)

Think outside of the box, work with the minimal tools available, and escape your boring room.

All done in HTML5, most browsers should be running it without problems, worst case just use Chrome!

Well, I found the door, but nothing else seemed to be possible. Is it bugged?

Just when that textbubble sound was beginning to drive me crazy, the phone appeared out of nowhere xD
Funny game, but it's kind of unfair to just have your players wait around, don't you think?

Nice art as usual. Poor kitty.

Yeah, it's kinda unfair to have wait for next clue :)

(Spoil free) Still can't figure out the correlation between my actions and one of the steps. Overall a pretty interesting game. Good art, fitting sound, and a cool concept.

Great kind of game for a 48hr compo... I don't know where the phone comes from...

It's certainly minimal. I used to be obsessed with these kinds of puzzles. The character's brow probably closely resembled my own as I tried to figure out what caused what in the game. The cat is a strange turn of events.

That's the weirdest escape game I ever played. I had to resort to mashing the keyboard constantly while walking back and forth. The text bubble idea was pretty good though, but at times it was quite confusing. STUPID ... FRIDGE DOOR ... IS BROKEN STUPID ...... BORING!

Can I have a hint on what to do after the door shows up?

Very nice, too short but very nice. The cat is the key to everything O.O

Nice experience but it was kind of hard to figure out what was going on at first, I moved once and pressed X.

Haha, nice one! I found the exit.
At first I thought it's impossible... Yet by doing random stuffs (you guys will know this as you'll play)... It's possible. And the texts I saw are really funny from flashing at the right time.

I think it is the number of jumps, as it kept saying 'boring'. Also, you don't leave through the door. After you leave, and it says you find your freedom, is their an end? or is that it? I could still jump, wasn't sure if that was intended or not. Fun little game though.

Ha, I figured it out eventually. Really great job with the presentation and a nice little game play gimmick. Well done.

Great work... nice art... good sounds... but I gave up quickly after nothing seemed to happen. After reading the comments, it sounds like I just had to wait around for something? Patience and gamers do not go hand-in-hand. =)

no it has nothing to do with waiting.. it's to soon to spoil the solution here, so if people can't solve it just ask on twitter ! *spoilhint* it's not a boRING game!

Nice art and interesting concept. Might be better with different sounds for things happening. Just kind of clicked randomly and eventually got free.

took me a while and the comments convincing me to keep playing, no bad, just annoying waiting for the phone.

Haha, wow! I got the phone by accident at first, but then I went back to read the comments and see if you mentioned how I got it. BoRING... Hahaha, funny. But you really do need to make it more apparent to the player how they solved the problem.

All in all, love it.

Great art, and while I was tempted to quit at one point (after finding the door), I stuck with it and was glad I did :)

Very nice game! Took me a while to discover what to do, but when you do, it's great!

Please, take a minute to play and rate game, thanks!

The graphics are unmistakably yours. It took a while for me to figure out how to get the phone, but everything fell into place after that. A nice little puzzler, and clearly it's not just my cat that goes crazy for fish.
