EDIT: For those of you stuck on level two, there are two doors on level one. Make sure to try both! *hint hint*

PrisonBreak is a game my sister, Lola Wegman, and I (Atlas Wegman) created for the LD25 Jam. After shuffling through a few ideas we stumbled upon this one, a prison break. You are criminal who opens his cell door, and must escape prison. If caught by the guards you are sent straight back to your cell. There are no checkpoints, there is no saving. This game is the real deal...sort of.

Gameplay is relatively intuitive. Arrow keys to move, mouse to look around. Your goal is to dodge all guards and make it to the green doorway. Some levels have to doors, be carful which one you chose. Guards have a sort of "sixth sense" and can sense you even when you are not directly in their line of sight. Be careful, and good luck!

My sister and I worked nonstop to put out this game, complete with audio, multiple levels, and a couple tiers of gameplay elements. As such, the file size is not small (~15mb). If you are playing on a web browser, please be patient. It's worth it!

I hope you enjoy PrisonBreak, I think it came out better then expected :)

The game looks fun, but I always get caught the second level 2 is loaded :(

iiAtlasauthor17 Dec 2012, 23:41

There are two doors! One leads to the guards room which is, of course, impossible :P Try going to the left :)

Solidly put together, but the mouse control is really sensitive.

Cat Burton17 Dec 2012, 23:48

A promising game! I also had issues as soon as level two loaded unfortunately.

iiAtlasauthor17 Dec 2012, 23:50

Make sure to check both doors on level one! (uploading a new version now to fix the confusion). Thanks for the comments everyone!

Really good job, had a hard time getting past level 3

prettymuchbryce18 Dec 2012, 02:13

Not bad but too hard. Could have ramped up the difficulty more gradually.

sharbelfs18 Dec 2012, 02:16

nice game, loved the music

Dew18 Dec 2012, 02:16

Saving levels would be nice!

Great work!

Loves the Music <3

iiAtlasauthor18 Dec 2012, 02:18

Thanks everybody! Difficulty/no saving was intentional, I wanted to make a sort of "retro" ultra hard game. Maybe it was a bit too hard... :P

I found the camera control to be too sensitive for comfort. Lack of an option to invert the y-axis didn't help.

iiAtlasauthor18 Dec 2012, 02:51

Hmm interesting, I never thought anyone would ever want to invert the y axis but apparently I was wrong, sorry Crowbeak!

saguaro18 Dec 2012, 02:53

Great Game. Level 2 is pretty hard.

TwilightFlandre18 Dec 2012, 02:54

The music was nice and the voices were hilarious. The concept was great yet the prison guards lines of sight were a little wonky and unforgiving sometimes.

good game. extra points for making a decent game in 3d.

ENDESGA18 Dec 2012, 03:04

Thanks for rating my game!
Awesome game btw

IndieWithASide18 Dec 2012, 03:08

I like the idea, my only critique would be if we could adjust mouse/view sensitivity. Otherwise a successful entry, good job!

iiAtlasauthor18 Dec 2012, 03:16

You all have some pretty valid feedback, so thanks! A sensitivity slider is in the works (as in an invert y axis button). Glad you like the voices, I made them but I swear I sound nothing like that :P The power of pitch!

EatenAlive318 Dec 2012, 03:32

I can't make it past level four D:

Really fun, really hard!

RatDog_Adam18 Dec 2012, 03:33

Pretty fun, audio was pretty funny too!

zatyka18 Dec 2012, 03:35

Cool music, but after getting caught several times, the beginning of the song became pretty repetitive.

I also wish you didn't restart at the very beginning when you die.

iiAtlasauthor18 Dec 2012, 03:39

Glad you all like the audio, the little sound bytes were the best I could come up with :P The "restart at beginning" is an attempt to make the relatively short (5 level) game feel much longer. I believe it accomplishes this quite well, force the player to improve their strategy over multiple playthroughs. I also think it gives it a sort of "retro" ultra hard style, but maybe this isn't exactly "fun." Thanks for the feedback!

Quantumvm18 Dec 2012, 03:41

Excellent music and great fun, although turning speed was a little fast, even with mouse sensitivity pushed way down.

illugion18 Dec 2012, 03:43

I'm gonna make iii--- "STOP HIM" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
That was really fun to play ( and hard ) and i loved the song XD

iiAtlasauthor18 Dec 2012, 03:48

Glad you liked it! The sound bytes were a blast to record :D

Dark Acre Jack18 Dec 2012, 07:49

This prison is broken.

Kuothe18 Dec 2012, 08:29

Really nice sound effects :)

TheCze18 Dec 2012, 14:31

Awesome music!

iamorim18 Dec 2012, 15:43

Hey! You can check my game now. The link is fine. Try it again! Thanks :)

Mythalore18 Dec 2012, 18:14

Good concept, but the camera clipping, high mouse sensitivity and lack of graphics let it down.

bigbadwofl19 Dec 2012, 09:25

A fun concept and refreshingly difficult. Top down would have worked much better though.

iiAtlasauthor19 Dec 2012, 20:02

The game started out top down but I wanted to try something "different." Thanks for the feedback :)

Pitoum23 Dec 2012, 14:44

It's hard! The sight line of the guards is a bit tricky to really understand.
Nice entry, I worked hard to pass level 3!

matthias_zarzecki26 Dec 2012, 22:50

Nice little stealth-game! Love the music-switch, and the menu is nice too.

Controls are really fidlly though. The entire game resetting is also infuriating, it punished experimentation.

azurenimbus5 Jan 2013, 21:55

This game is really difficult to play because the controls are way too sensitive! I got frustrated early on.

It looks like it can be so much fun, though! If you do release a post-compo, I'd love to play it.

Can't believe how well we did, thanks everyone!
