That was amusing, and very well made. I think I suspected what I was supposed to do after the third key I tried, but for some reason I felt the need to try all the keys anyway. I don't know why. This was clever, polished, and a bit funny, although it was really short, even for a ludum dare game.
That was absolutely amazing! When I got the solution I smiled so much :D I don't want to post a spoiler but, your game really managed to evoke an emotion that many big games can't even do. You made me feel smart for thinking outside of the box. Loved it!
Haha this is the second game I've played this competition that used the rage quit mechanic. I can't believe having played that one a few days ago that I didn't think to try it on this one, damn! I literally tried every single key methodically and just when I had hit every key... I thought, "no, not another one..." and I knew even before I hit it that it would work. Freedom. I feel like a fool. Very well done and entertaining.
Nice art, loved the music and liked the concept of a not-so-obvious solution (although once you find it, it's kinda disappointing). You can't avoid feeling like you wasted your time once you manage to escape though. I didn't like that part. An overall good entry nonetheless.
Very nice art! I also just loved the keys that kept falling, of all shapes and sizes (wrench, credit card, knife..). One of my favourite games this LD, very ingenious take on the theme. :)
Seriously, you need to make a full-length adventure game!
Upset that it was spoiled for me. :( I was really giving it my all, though... even had the keys that looked like 'E', 'S', and 'C' separated from the rest, trying to somehow merge them into some super-key by shoving all three into the door. Yeah, I probably wouldn't have ever figured it out . :)
Haha, got it. This is that one game this compo must have. You should've added more levels, though, right now it's just a novelty thing rather than a proper game.
I kinda think you should not have included a web version, since rage quitting means just closing the browser! I admit at first I really did not like this game because I felt like it was a case of designer mocking player, but since then I've thought about it more and it's clever enough to win me back around :). great art and music too
Nice, very nice. Art is great, music is lovely, the solution is... outside the box. I suppose the more patience you have, the longer it takes :P Not that I didn't expect a lot of escape "key" puns, this one was well done.
Very nice and polished little game. The solution is also very clever, but was really hard for me to find. I think you should make even more obvious clues when you have tried all the keys, so that people like me won't get so frustrated. :P Very well done!
Lots of cute for so little a game. I did solve it, thankfully, but only after trying all the pixel keys. I wonder if you could easily do a larger moody puzzle with this atmosphere/music/art style and a series of (perhaps interconnected) screens with some more curious tasks that the player needs to find/figure out? It's both strangely relaxing and frustrating to know that you're staring at "all of it" and still can't quite find the solution.
Loved this game, you really did a great work. My only complaint would be that it's too short. Judging by the design elements present, you seem to wish to keep developing it, which is great, as this one will really look great someday! Congrats!
You're not the only joker who tried this (but your entry is much more elaborate than others... I would never suspected... :(

I ADORED this. I'm a huge fan of the Lucasarts/SCUMM style games anyway, but this nailed it down to the tone of humour. I worked the solution out well before I completed the games, just because I wanted to see all of the dialogue cues.
Fantastic. Far too short. I'd have played this for days.
Only a timelapse could be more awesome in community thingy. Well... i really want to say it is a nice game, but I hate it so much. Because, I tried to hang in there, tried to be patient, and tried not to spoil it for me by not reading any comments before finishing it. Though I gave up and found out the ending.
Really? I mean really? The ending is soooo 1980, it bites grass roots. This is frustrating as it is pushing me dirt in the face of being damn stupid ending. Rage.... RAGE.....
Though... on the bottom line, good work. Well done.
Interesting puzzle. Got it after about 5 minutes of sorting through the keys. Felt kind of a cheap solution though after sorting through all the keys to get the E S C keys. I thought there would've been something clever to do with those.
A true riddle ^-^! Despite taking a long time to figure out the solution, I had fun trying to figure out the correct key. The graphics and the audio blended well in the game giving it a complex and rich environment and made me thought that there was in fact a more complicated solution :P. Well done.
I can't find the solution, I need a hint !
