I've made this game with Game Maker 8.0.
Graphics have been done with Game Maker's sprite editor and the GIMP 2.6.
Music have been composed with Anvil Studio and transformed to MP3 with Hamienet's online tool, and the guitar tracks have been recorded with my BC Rich Virgo guitar, my Peavey Vypyr 30 amp, and Guitar Rig 4.

This game was fun and cool. It has the right ammount of levels, graphics look polished enough, music is just awesome and it fits the theme (you must escape).

My time: 13:56!

Wow, great looking game. Reminded me very much of Gish, though I can't put my finger on why. Was amazed when you switched it up in to a platformer.

My chief complaint would be the sheer amount of backtracking I had to do. It became really tedious.

Great audio work though!

I can't test this game. Game Maker doesn't work inside a virtual machine and I don't have a real Windows box :'(

I found the game a tad boring, but the graphics are neat and the music is very nice if a bit unfitting. Solid entry.

Loud music with no volume controls makes me sad.

What really annoyed me was trying to move the character to pixel perfect collision so it would move through the next corridor, sometimes I had to spent several attempts to position him correctly. Otherwise, good atmosphere, but just ordinary maze game. Music was very good.

Very nice, the word that comes to mind is harmonious - the music, graphics, and gameplay suite each other well. Although agh my hand! The game is fun to play but you're quickly taken out of that given the frustration of trying to line yourself up with a corridor every two seconds. Aside from that it was very nicely done!
