Escape from Dr. Evilface's Maze by Blayzeing

[raw]
made by Blayzeing for LD21 (JAM)
Quite simple, you are the world renound super-spy, Derick. And you need to escape from a maze set up by Dr. Evilface. Sounds easy on paper, huh? IF IT NOT FOR THE RABID SHEEP!!!

Side Note: Chrome seems to be have some problems running the game

2605. After about6 attempts, that's my success score, can you guys beat it?

Interesting game, but you should let the player use WASD as well as the arrow keys because the mouse is used also.

Controls are insanely awkward and shooting doesn't even work for me. And after already sitting through all the dumb screens twice (which I can't click through), I really don't feel like sitting through them yet again just to have the game still not work for me. =/

I also had difficulty with this game, it seems like the gun didn't work? Was ammo required?

I managed to get up to 205 though just by running around.

btw guys, thanks for the feedback, I've already altered my code for WASD. AS with regards to the breaking with the mouse, I believe that that is a problem with chrome running AS2, as it seems to be having adverse affects on some games.

Very pretty graphics, slick presentation, broken gameplay. :-( As many have said the controls are awkward, and on top of that my gun wouldn't shoot. Mac OS X in Safari. Also avoid using the Ctrl Key + Arrow keys on Mac, as it causes an OS-level feature that makes gameplay difficult.

Clunky controls (HOLD mouse for shooting?! WHY?!) and long intro sequence (which is funny once, for the second time is annoying and I had no nerves to try for the third time) is killing it. A little bigger view would also help. I found no way to restart other than reload page.

Nice art and music (so I won't be completely negative), but next time keep the intro for the last (and make it skippable, or at least give us possibility to restart without forcing us to watch it) and concentrate more on the game.

Please, add a way to restart the game without the intro. It is a nice intro, but I don't want to see that many times.

Regarding the controls, it is not nice to have to HOLD the mouse button. By the way, at first I didn't know I had to use the mouse and I wondering why the player always aimed at the same direction regardless of where he was moving to.

The graphics, music and sound are well done.

The art and audio are pretty solid, but the gameplay is OBSCENELY difficult ;) The controls scheme's a little odd, arrow keys + mouse are uncomfortable if your mouse is one the right side of your keyboard, I'd suggest making WASD also work for movement.
Also, enemies were far too tough to kill at 5 shots, just 1 would be fine.
Once again though, the graphics and animations were great, and the experience was pretty humorous and pleasant :) Not bad, just needs some controls and gameplay tuning! <3
