Enlightenment is a 2D game where you throw things out of windows. It was written in HTML5 and WebGL using the Turbulenz engine and should work on any HTML5/WebGL browser. For the best experience we recommend Chrome. All code for the game and the hosting site (other than libraries) were written for the Ludum Dare jam.

As a monk, you aspire to the minimalist aesthetic. A house free of clutter is your only desire. You walk the path to enlightenment, free of worldly possessions.

But your housemates, they thwart you. They love to buy stuff online. Defenestrate these worldly shackles and attain enlightenment!

Controls:

A,D - move left and right
S,W - aim
E - traverse stairs
SHIFT - flip held item
SPACE - throw

Xploit Games is a merry band of three coders and one artist. Some of us work at Turbulenz, some of us don't

I really liked the graphics and audio of the game. It was also quite fun to play and the idea is pretty funny. Keep it up

There's an typo on the web address of your game - take off the last / after the url!

Loved this game - very funny to be tossing stuff out the window. Had a tough time with the bigger items.

Top tip #1: The more enlightenment you have, the easier it is to throw objects. Start small and grow!

Couldn't run it. Using Chrome on Linux just renders a blank white page. I guess that's pretty minimalist, though. ;)

We had some problems with DNS for our domain that meant that Firefox would not work. As with all things DNS related it took about a day for our fix to work its way through the system, and during this process the site didn't work for some people. It should all be up and running now!

Love the concept. Found the controls a bit hard since you have to move with your left keys and aim with the right keys. I think if it auto aimed out the window or you could use the mouse to find the angle it would be easier. Great job!

I was expecting the controls to be more confusing, but they were actually quite comfortable once the game actually started. Fun and enjoyable.

It took me a while to understand the controls but then it was very fun!

The idea is funny.
At the beginning, I had difficulties to throw pianos.
This is possible only with the upstairs right window.

The premise of a monk throwing out furniture amused me. If you continue to develop this, I got frustrated when the piano didn't fit through the window.

This game is deep, yo. Not really, but it's quite fun to play.
