Arrows/WASD to move and jump
Space to allow walking during text
E/Right Ctrl to USE items or signs
Left Click - Place D.I.S.C
Right Click - Relocate to D.I.S.C
R - Reset position if you get stuck

This entry is not complete, but has tutorial levels. I took my time and aimed for personal goals instead and I am pretty happy with the results.

I plan to finish some levels and submit a jam version as well, but I figured I would leave the working gameplay + mechanics here as a peg of progress that I did finish in the 48 hours.

NOTE - If it crashes on startup, it has a problem with the audio. Plugging in a MIC usually fixes it. I will fix this asap.

Dark on foreground tiles on a dark background? Not a good mix. Pity the controls aren't great - I really liked the D.I.S.C. mechanic.

Thanks for the feedback Staggy.
There are some cloud layers of parallax and skylines that never made it into this version. There was also day time skies but yea the dark on dark was noted..
The controls are obviously a mess, something i plan to fix first anyway.

I'm digging the concept here, and see it working as more fully-developed game. Nice job!

Controls aren't very good. Platforms lack contrast to tell them apart. Has come collision issues too, mostly getting semi-stuck on walls. I can see potential for that disc mechanic, which was only there for one level. And JESUS CHRIST the sudden window break sound scared the shit out of me.

haha, so it worked then.

Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully everyone reads the post mortem so its not all super confusing why the game is so short http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2011/08/22/untitled-escape-semi-post-mortem/
