DAVE by danec020
This game was made by two developers in a period of 48hrs. We chose the unconventional weapon idea of "failure". This led to us developing a game where your character experiences death to further achieve his goals. Because of this we built a strange white laboratory style environment and had naked clones of one another for the test subjects.
The game focuses on a simple puzzle mechanic. When pressing a button, any buttons in its row/column will be altered to a new color. If you press a button of the same color as the mysterious "glowing tile", something bad will happen to Dave. Use these unfortunate outcomes to your advantage and make it to the mysterious tile!
But you can never leave, Dave.

The graphic is nice and the song also good!
Well done guys in the compo! :D
My suggestions (if your going to continue developing this game): path finding! it is very unnecessary to click only in the same row/col the character is; more consist buttons, I still don't get when the button is gonna work or not; a better camera view or the capacity to change it, because sometimes is pretty hard to click in some rooms.
You probably know all that, but still, it is a great puzzle and would be cool if did a full version of it.
