escape.swf by sstrandberg

[raw]
made by sstrandberg for LD21 (-)
A survival horror game involving spiders and fatalism.

Arrow keys to move
Stepping on a spider hurts you and makes the other spiders upset.
Health is indicated by background colour (lighter greys = bad)
Spider upsetness is indicated by the white noise.

Hint: it's easier to escape spiders to the west, but you don't want to be late.

I am slightly technophobic, thanks for the nightmares.

Seriously, don't play if you don't like spiders. Zomg nightmares.

I really liked it and did not mind stepping on those spiders at all

I played this before you submitted it to the competition, and it makes me laugh now as much as it did then. It's not the best, but it definitely has that fun and humour factor (for me at least) :)

Everything is nice and peaceful until you squish one too many spiders, then it's all over before you can blink. And the noise OH the noise!

hah, this is great.. truly terrifying when stepping on a big spider :D. Love how such a simple game can make a big impact.

You lied about the West...
I saw a spider and then died about 3 seconds later

I like the game as a whole, the effects are pretty neat (and yes, quite horrifying) - but it's really hard to tell if the acquired distance is something that depends on player's performance, or if it's completely random. Could be better as an "art-game", but not without an interesting story. The messages are quite funny.

hehe pretty fun! I'm not quite sure how escape works, it sounds like I'm running to work right? am I escaping my sanity??
