Four friends escape from their captors by using their niche skills as a team. Inspired by the potential LD34 theme "Stick Together," Escape Squad blends the isometric, top-down shooter mechanics of Binding of Isaac with the single-entity party mechanic of Legend of Grimrock to create a uniquely tactical action roguelike. Play as the four best friends Bearemy the Barbearian, Moz the Firefox, Bandit the Ranger Racoon, and Cynthia the Armordillo escaping from their evil captor-animals. Each shoots in the direction they are facing, and you can rotate the party to change your tactical setup.
Ow, I was figuring out the controls as a mass of critters collected by the door and when I hit space, 20 explosion effects played simultaneously, which was rather painful.
Interesting idea for 4 characters joined together, but not theme-related. Nice go, tho.
Great Job. I like the idea of it. I kind of just ran straight through without killing anything. It was cool that each direction was a different attack.
