Escape the TV! by Dexyne

[raw]
made by Dexyne for LD31 (JAM)
Hello everyone from two guys who really like video games.

It's our first participation to a Jam and our first collaboration on a project, that was a great experience and we hope you will like our game.

What's the game? A guy has been ate by his TV and he try to escape, you can help him by zapping between 3 TV channels, changing barriers position.

Commands:
Move with WASD or arrow keys, zap with alpha keys (1, 2 and 3).

Good luck and have fun!

I like this idea, it's cool and you could expand on it if you so choose.

Interesting idea! Some janky behaviours when I switched to a channel that had an obstacle on the tile I was standing on, but it didn't seem to affect my progress through the puzzle at all.

Nice interpretation of the theme, and a lot of potential for a bigger puzzle game if you wanted to keep going on it.

Bevilacqua, DefectiveMelon, rjhelms - Thanks for playing, rated and commented our little game. :)

rjhelms - This behaviour is known and not the time to "fix" it or find a solution about it.
The only real problem with that is some bugs like going through the walls, otherwise you can switch to another channel and your position will be the same.

Dexyne, nice game) Answer for your question for unity 4.6 beta and GUI (http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=19528) - yes, there is message about "beta versison". Is it main reason of this error? Sorry for my bad english.

fil00dl, Nelly - Thanks. :)

Nelly - Yes I ran into this too and not see correctly the buttons (with a message about the beta version).
To export to the web you need the release version (just download the last version, it's actually out).
Thanks to my friend - and coworker - saying that he has no problems with it, because the notification update for new versions on unity is a bit broken.

Yay, another TV game! Switching worlds is fun, and the music is nice too, this could be pretty good with some more content!

Fun concept - not sure it was even possible to find the escape though :P

Good idea! I had a bit of fun playing it, but the music sounds a bit boring...

RockhopperGames, Namide, billrizer, AlbertoSM — Thanks for playing and commenting. :)

billrizer — The escape is not hard to find. :p

AlbertoSM — The music was made in the last hours with only the idea of something giving a bit of pressure. I agree it's not the best.

Cool Concept Would have been nice to make it a little longer and 1 major bug if you press 123 simultaniously you go through the walls but good job

getwonked — Thanks for playing! And yeah you can pass through walls by forcing in it while changing channels.
I will look to fix that.

I managed to make it to the exit! I wish there were more levels, I like this concept a lot. Very clever use of the theme even if it was a bit easy and simple. Well done!
