Multiple Escapees by rargrave

[raw]
made by rargrave for LD 40 (JAM)

Didn't go as hoped (when does it), actually met the criteria for the compo, but figured I'd enter the jam.

Free the other inmates to reach the exit, but as you free them it means one more person to control. The more you free the harder it gets.

Really cool level transitions, and I like that the tutorials where simple and popped up only when they needed to be there, and only once! Good job :)

The game got stuck on retry. The game play itself was pretty enjoyable and the 'controlling more than one' mechanic is pretty neat.

Had a blast with this one! The interpretation of the jam's theme is spot on and the level design is really good. Controls are great too and, even if the game gets really challenging soon, you can clear the levels with just a bit of practice. The sound is the only thing I found a bit annoying. Would love to see a complete version of this with more levels and gimmicks. Triple jump rules!

Don't know why my comment went published anonymously, but triple jump rules ;)

Great concept! Level design is a bit unbalanced in my opinion, but the game is fun to play anyway.

Fun game. Would love to see this expanded. I was, however, able to get stuck between a platform and a wall liek this:

the take on the theme is perfect and the animation on the level load is pretty cool. Congrats!

Interesting game. I also got stuck on Retry screen.

There are some bugs, as other commented. But, hey!, well done! I like how you found a simple mechanic based on a few elements and then explored these elements in different levels (I kinda tried to do this in my entry, but ran out of time to really explore the possibilities). Had some fun playing it, even though these puzzle-ish games aren't much of my liking usually.

I got stuck on a strange "raining cops" level, without any camera. And with previous levels retry worked, but not for this one, so I quited.
Good idea anyways, interesting take of the theme, would deserves more polish. Any post-compo in mind? ;)

Took me a few tries and I didn't get very far, but enjoyed it and some nice work on the level design.

Well done! The difficulty is progressive, the gameplay is rich and the controls are simple. Maybe the jump sound is a bit loud. It fits the theme in a simple but elegant way. Overall I enjoyed your game :)
