Escape is a puzzle game about trying to escape the lonely island you are on.

This game was made in 72 hours for the Jam by Budda (http://buddat.net) and Taufiq (https://github.com/taufiqkh) using Java, Slick2D, and assets from opengameart.org and freesound.org.

Unfortunately we ran out of time to add more levels, as the mapping process is slightly time consuming, but the game is at a point where we are happy with it.
We hope you enjoy playing!

Extract the zip and run 'game.bat' (or 'game.sh' on linux, or 'game.command' on mac) to start it.
Controls: Arrows/WASD, Space, Esc

I liked the mood you set. See how expansive the world got was a big wow moment for me. Great job! :)

sh didn't worked in mac. Fortunately I know how to run jars. A nice game, just didn't like I have to collide items from left/right, also sometimes the movement didn't felt smooth

hmm running game.bat didn't work! :(

We've fixed up the package so it'll hopefully run fine on mac now without any messing around.

@Stepwise: Make sure you extract everything before trying to run game.bat.

The game is really interesting, my only major issue with it is that the enemies do not pause when a text box appears which freezes the player so that you end up dying :(

Cool puzzle-like mechanics. Though it was strange that the axes were destroyed.

I won! It is good mood and zombies pressure feared me.

Very nice work on the graphics. I loved the style, just wish the hit detection and controls were a little tighter.

The epic music when the portal opens is the best

Nice work. The world looked very good. I really liked the great scull on the floor. The only thing that confused me first, was the switching music when I opened the first and the second portal, because fighting music starts and no enemys were around.

Have added a second link to a version which should run on Mac.

Wall collisions were very sticky. If those were improved this game would be amazing. For now, it's just great.

I tried running the .bat file. The command prompt opened for a moment and disappeared. Nothing happened. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit.

Nice core mechanic, and the music was great. I didn't have any issues running the Mac version.

I like the puzzle aspect to it. But the "getting stuck on walls" collision is a deal breaker. You should try to fix that.
