Play ‘A Way Out’ on LudumDare.com<\/a><\/p>\n I worked in JavaScript and Phaser. I am not extremely experienced with Phaser (I have used it in one previous game jam), so I was surprised of how few hurdles I encountered on the way. I spent quite a bit of the time polishing small things (text\/sprite fading and timings was the worst one!) I also got nice visual effects using simple filters in Gimp, together with various degrees of transparency in the game. Finally, sunday evening, I put the sound together with FL studio and my trusty mini-keyboard.<\/p>\n
One of the most rewarding parts of the Ludum Dare, which I didn’t anticipate to be so engaging, is the reviewing of other players games as well as receiving valuable feedback on the game. During the giving and receiving of ratings and comments, I came to realise how important the details are for the playing experience. Could I have handled the power-weapon differently? Was the finish to abrupt? How does the navigation feel? The details came back when I played other games. I have enjoyed most of the games I played (many fantastic games out there!!). But what is it in some games that makes me tick in particular? A slight difference in responsiveness of the movement, or balancing of the difficulty makes a world of difference.<\/p>\n
With all that said. If you enjoy frantic typing games, and\/or enjoy story driven ambience in games, you should give my game, ‘A Way Out’ a spin. And, I am in particular grateful if you rate it and leave a line. I am attempting to play and rate all commenters games (that run on my old computer) in return.<\/p>\n
