Escape to the Stars by Dookington

made by Dookington for LD21 (JAM)

So this is our entry into the competition. Unfortunately it didn't go as planned at first due to technical issues, but luckily we found a plan B and made do with the time we had left. It's not as complete as we wanted, but we will update it routinely outside of the competition. Which will increase the interactivity substantially. Thank you all for checking us out.

Awesome game, well-made and amusing. But what's the deal with the icon?

There's no need to sign up, GigaClon, just click on "Slow Download" and you'll be able to get it.

Sweet! I thought this was so cool, art was awesome, music was great and humour too, feels like you've got a framework here for something cool in the long term

Err, you don't have to sign up to download it, but you do have to scroll down to the bottom and then wait around. I'll mirror it here so nobody else has to go through that: https://s3.amazonaws.com/excitemike/misc/Escape+to+Stars+1.0-win32.zip

(you might want to change the link at the top to point to the new mirror, Dookington!)

I re-routed to the new mirror since some people seemed to have some trouble
@Marach - the icon is something we just forgot to change.
Thanks everyone for your comments, we do plan to extend the game to a longer amount.

Entertaining, if a bit brief. "Boring Girl = Boring Ending!" made me a smidgen sad, tho. >_>

The art, both graphics and music, is fantastic. It is a shame that the story is (understandably) so short...

Too bad it's that short and almost no interaction (hard to call it a game), but it definitely got me smile :)
