Follow Trevor, the lead singer of Hedge Social, as he makes his way through a hipster's worst nightmare - vintage clothing shops, coffee parlors, used record stores have all closed forever! Oh and there's a zombie apocalypse too, but the coffee parlors!!
[FOR WINDOWS USERS: just download the zip, and run escape.exe]
I used py2exe to convert these from their original python files, I'll see if it supports Linux as well. Either way I'm hoping to port it to Linux/Mac asap :)
Decently done, but controls take ages to get used to for isometric viewpoint. Levels get repetitive quick, lacks more mechanics/variety. Power pills also always happen to be right on the way to the exit and not a challenge to get. Besides score, not much motivation to get all the pills. I like the "heads" as characters. Music for a "zombie" game could have been a little heavier, but it's still good.
Seems to almost work on linux if I just download both source and windows asset (I already have pygame). I had to comment out import pygame._view but then soon after the level begins, I get this error
Traceback (most recent call last): File "escape.py", line 733, in <module> zombie.update(diff) File "escape.py", line 56, in update possibleTiles = self.getAvailableDirections() File "escape.py", line 136, in getAvailableDirections if getEntityAt(self.xTile, yCheck) != "#" and getEntityAt(self.xTile, yCheck) != "!" and getEntityAt(self.xTile, yCheck) != "*" and getEntityAt(self.xTile, yCheck) != "@" and getEntityAt(self.xTile, yCheck) != "X": File "escape.py", line 367, in getEntityAt return level[tileY][tileX] IndexError: list index out of range
I'm definitely a little weary of both hipster mockery and zombie games at this point, but apart from the extremely vanilla maze-navigation gameplay this is very well done!

Love the story-nuggets. The maze-navigation, combined with the zombies is also quite well done.
This is the first game so far I've played through all the way. So, cheers! You must have done something right. :) Nice little puzzle system and a charming setup.

(which doesn't seem to be pygame related to me.)
Hope this helps you port.
