Escape from the laboratory!
You'll have to dodge obstacles, collect circuit elements, and repair circuits if you are to escape with your life!
Find out which kinds of circuit elements go which slots on the circuit board and use that knowledge to solve the more chalenging circuits. If you complete a valid but incorrect circuit, a graph will appear on the top-left of the screen to help you.
While Escaping:
Use A and D to move left and right
Use W to jump
Use E to use door access panels
While Completing a Circuit:
Use A and D to change selection spot on the circuit board
Use W and S to select a circuit element
Press E to attach a circuit element to the circuit board
Press Q to return to Escape Mode
Press M to mute.
Additional Info:
The Crashless-Web version has the 2nd crash (see below) fixed.
This required some modification to the collision detection code.
Nothing but the code detecting collisions between the player and non-interactive environment was changed as I wanted to keep the game as close to the original as possible. There are still plenty of not-so-lovely (but not game breaking) collision bugs in this version.
If you wish to play the original (with only the 1st crash fixed) select the Original-Web link.
Fixed game-breaking bugs since release:
1. When near an item, the collision detection could sometimes fill the player's available item slots with 1 circuit element type, causing the player to no longer be able to progress through the level.
2. The collision detection could mess up causing the player to fall off the map and the game to crash.
