I'm not the best deployer ;)\r\n**** \r\n\r\nHOW TO PLAY\r\n\r\nYou are a small guy who needs to escape from this place he is in (Great story, huh?). Lasers are set around the map and there is a portal somewhere that allows you get out. The portal must be powered for you to leave.\r\n\r\nUsing the WSAD keys you need to move around and discover where to go. When coming across a laser you need to either point it (use ARROW keys to direct laser) at the portal to activate it or direct it to another laser turret to power that and get to the portal that way. You will most likely need to direct lasers at multiple light turrets around the level to create a chain that can reach the portal.\r\n\r\nSelect the level from the drop down list at the top and click Play - you will be launched into the astonishing world that is SOLITUDE.\r\n\r\n-------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nABOUT\r\n\r\nCreated for the Ludum Dare Compo #22\r\nhttp:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/\r\n\r\nBy xandrew\r\nhttp:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/author\/xandrew\/\r\n\r\nWith this being my first Ludum Dare \u00e2\ufffd\ufffd I was thinking I\u00e2\ufffd\ufffdll just use this as a learning experience to discover what I need to do BEFORE the next one. And it has been a VERY big learning experience. Also might enter the Jam next time and get a few people in and make a party of it. Because my lack of creativity and ideas started to show about halfway though.\r\n\r\nCan obtain the source here:\r\nhttps:\/\/github.com\/andrew-smith\r\n\r\n(Yes I know - my menu design is terrible)<\/p>","title":"Solitude - xandrew"}
