First Ludum Dare! Had a rough time with this theme, but overall, we had fun with it. Enjoy!

- Panic Room -

Your job is to keep the monsters locked away. Be careful not to lock in survivors and DEFinitely don't let out any monsters!

Hold F or J to close the door linked with that button (shares color)

Careful not to hold the button too long or the system may short out!

Great Job! The art is great! I liked how you had to pay attention to what door went with each button.

Nice art and mood!
Reminds a lot of Five Nights at Freddy's.

Whoaw that was intense! Great concept and execution, game is keeping you constantly on the edge, every couple of seconds changing what door you controll, not really time to think, you have to take action immiediatly when you see a monster. Graphics are also of high quality. Good job!
My personal best is 11 survivors.

liked the game and the concepts of mixing buttons, although the controls were somewhat irresponsive sometimes.
But really good first entry!!

Really nice game, there's a way to "bug" the game, by the way. Anyway, nice experience, keep up with the nice work!
Ps: Was there a cat in the game?
Also: My personal best is 21 ;)

Cat, what cat?

Nice score! Can you provide some details on how to bug the game?

lawendt21 Dec 2015, 14:13

Well, didn't played looong enough, but you can press repeatedly both buttons, so you'll be kinda invincible. But I dunno, may be wrong...

I can bet that there was a cat in one of the doors, or this is messing with my head!

I definitely have no idea what you're talking about with the cat. You can repeatedly close both doors if you want, but you'll never score any points that way. You have to let survivors out.
