This is a Escape game. This was developed alone to the LD48, but I couldn't finish it in time...

To develop this game, I used:

- Notebook Dell i5, 6g ram, 2g video, 14".
- Wacom Bamboo Pen CTL-470.
- Tablet Sansung Galaxy Note 8.
- Gnu/Linux Ubuntu 14.04 - Operating System
- Android Development Tool (ADT) - Programming IDE
- LibGDX 0.9.9 - Game Library
- InkScape - Graphic vetorial editor
- Gimp - Image manipulation program
- Audacity - Audio manipulation program
- Krita - Image manipulation program
- A guitar to make a music and mouth sounds (with effects) to other sounds.
- Smarthphone Sansung S3 mini to capture sounds and music.

The game is a jar file. Thus, it is multiplataform. Just download and run the game with Java

Hmm, I couldn't quite understand the game. I found the box and the tool by furious clicking, but then I couldn't find anything else. There didn't seem to be a way to combine the item or do other actions, and once I closed the game by mistake, by trying to click everything on the menu. :-P

Couldn't get it to run for some reason - I'm on OSX.

Hi Jeffalsk. A friend tested it on OSX yesterday and really not worked. I will see that, but I think that it is a problema with the library LibGDX. I will see how to fix it. Thanks...

Interesting idea. Wish I'd been able to play the complete version. Good effort!

I use OSX, and it works for me. I can't seem to progress, though; I only found two items and then got stuck finding or doing anything else. I'm guessing this is part of the incompleteness of the game? It's a pity since I like "escape" games. Better luck next time!

I like the feel of the game. The artwork and music make it feel very "handmade" (maybe that's not the right word). Anyway, I think it has a lot of potential. I would love to see the complete game. Good work!

This is a good start, but like you said, there isn't much gameplay here. Polish it up and finish it, and it will make a pretty cute game!

A JAR download isn't really a "web" version ;)

I loved the guitar soundtrack and the audio in general, more people should make their own sound assets for LD I think.

The visual style is also promising. You should complete this post LD!

Pretty sure I clicked on just about every pixel in the screen but I still wasn't able to find the antenna. Would have liked to see the end.
