Freedom by someone

[raw]
made by someone for LD32 (COMPO)
Escape the genetics research labs and gain your freedom.

Controls:
Arrows - move
Space - Bite
Z - Zoom out

It was supposed to be more of a stealth game where your bite would cause people to go crazy and attack everything they see. I had to do some last minute redesign to make it a playable game.

Felt a little tough to work out what to do with the controls, but overall good job.

A little too easy to get stuck in the vents at corners and T joints, but still fun. I found the Exit!!! :D

Fun game concept but I have not really found in relation to the theme.

Losing health over time is the worst :(

I realise that it wouldn't be challenging without that, but the way it is right now, I have zero interest in trying to crawl through buggy vents and die repeatedly.

Had a bit of trouble with the controls in the vents but otherwise pretty cool. I like the character art!

Rather challenging--I like the puzzle aspect of it, and wall-walking was a different approach to a side-scroller (though around corners it was a bit confusing at first).

Got stuck in the vents a few times. Really nice graphics but the controls were a bit hard to grasp.

Really cool premise but I had a rough time controlling the character. Kept getting stuck in the tunnels. Really wanted to go further... Love the ambient soundtrack and the graphics look great. Nice job!

Fun idea for a game. If the controls were polished a bit it could make for a great game

Great Entry!

Nice work, though I'm not a fan of the losing health part. Makes it more of a stressful memorization game (and working around mechanics game) than a cool alien game.

I did have problems at T joints since I couldn't figure out a way to climb in, and had to stick on the roof instead.


I do like the wall/ceiling walk though! It reminds me a of an ancient game called XEvil, before the graphical update. The aliens in there could run on walls and were pretty terrifying.

Nice atmosphere.

Very nice game. Difficult, but very nice graphics and overall control. A few times I had a little difficulty in tunnels.
