Top-down puzzle game.\r\n\r\nControls:  W\/A\/S\/D, I\/J\/K\/L or arrow keys to move.  Enter, space or ctrl to interact.  Shift to run.   \r\n\r\nMusic\/sound can be enabled\/disabled in the bottom right corner of the window.    \r\n\r\nStory (the text is kinda fast in the intro, sorry about that, forgot to slow down for release): \r\n\"You are an engineer in a research facility, researching <REDACTED>.\"     \r\n\r\nThe game was designed to be frustratingly difficult, so keep that in mind. Especially the last level, it's almost impossible to win within a few tries.\r\n\r\nThe level editor was kinda thrown in and not designed for the average user, and it will throw errors if misused. Not recommended except if you really want to make your own levels.    \r\nQ: How to add my level to the game?    \r\nA: First, you need the standalone version. Second, open the EngineerStandalone.jar with winrar or something similar. Third, navigate to com\/jeasonfire\/engineer\/graphics\/sprites\/ and there should be 10 files named level[1-10].png. Fourth, replace one of those level[1-10].png files with the one you made. Fifth, play! :)    \r\n\r\nPost scriptum: Check out the timelapses on my channel (http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/Jeasonfire) and my other games on my site (http:\/\/www.jeasonfiregames.tk)","title":"Engineer"}
