TL;DR: Download the prototype from DropBox<\/a><\/p>\n

Hey everyone!
\n \"bandicam<\/p>\n

We’ve tried to fit into GameBoy limitations, and I think we did fairly well, but then we’ve realized some problems about the game itself.<\/p>\n

The idea was to make a Castle of no Escape spin-off, with only one room, in a tower-defence survival mode, but without the towers. Say, Battle City with its Construction Mode between the waves. But upon testing, it became obvious that 7×7 tiles Room isn’t really sufficient for that kind of gameplay. Everything goes on too fast, and enemies need advanced pathfinding, which I was never good at.<\/p>\n

Other than that, the deadline for our main game “Castle of no Escape 2”, which is headed towards Steam, is approaching, and today I’ve received a bunch of messages from several interested people. So, sadly enought, we must finish that thing first, and maybe return to the Room of no Escape later. Anyway, I wish you have some minutes of fun with the prototype! At least I did, both with making and testing it. Note that it has no ending. No escape, you’ve got the idea, eh?<\/p>\n

There are also two music tracks made by Esdeer, but we didn’t decide where they belong, so we leave you with an option to listen to them as you want.<\/p>\n

Right now, Castle of no Escape 2 is overrun with bugs, just like this.<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone involved, Ludum Dare rocks!<\/p>","time":"December 11th, 2016 8:16 am","title":"Room of no Escape V0.11 (and we\u2019re forced to switch the project!)"}
