Out by kosinus
This is a small top-down arcade game. You're all alone, trapped in a building when the security system activates. Progress through floors by disabling sentries using EMP charges. But you have to disable them all in one shot, and stay out of sight!
I'm pretty happy with the result. My aim was something as simple as the original Lode Runner, and in about the same vain. I think I succeeded in simple; the code is less than a thousand lines, but that didn't make it less a challenge to write! ;)
What I personally find most lacking about the result is that I haven't been able to find the time to create some challenging levels. There's a short but adequate tutorial, and one very simple level.
Still, I very much hope you enjoy it!

I'll have to take a closer look at performance. I was mostly relying on a profiler during dev, rather than real world performance on other machines.
Could you (and others with performance issues) tell me your OS and browser version?
Thanks for giving my humble first try a go! :)
Some sound and more levels and it would be a really fun game!
The game is short but I think the controls and general feeling is quite great.
I think it has some bug here on my pc. I'm running Chrome 16 on Windows 7. Here's a screenshot.

The programmer art is clean and simple, though it could have benefited from some audio.
The game itself is very short, seems to be more of a demo than a game. I'd love to see this up and running with a full library of levels.
Overall, good job.
Its a shame because I would like to play more.
I noticed the game lagged a bit at times while moving (Firefox 8). Seems to be sort of a thing with HTML5 games.
Will try to be more of a community man next LD, Fififox! Tried to be a somewhat decent judge to compensate. ;)
Terribly sorry about the font bug, I still haven't been able to reproduce it, even on two Vista laptops I had access too. I developed in Chrome, so that makes it even more odd.
Thanks for all the comments and ratings! :)
