Can discover the way out?

First time on Ludum Dare and I only had one day to create this game.

Decided to create a small story with some light puzzle elements.

Try out for yourself and tell me what you think!

Made in PICO-8, a really fun program for small projects like this!

Stay Awesome and good luck!

The graphics are really great

admicos11 Dec 2016, 19:00

The ending felt a little too simple, but other than that, it's pretty great!

barning11 Dec 2016, 19:38

Nice graphics.

Elastiskalinjenauthor11 Dec 2016, 19:56

Thanks @ralfz and @barning, next ludum it will be a lot better :D

Elastiskalinjenauthor11 Dec 2016, 19:56

@admicos Thanks! Ye I think it could be a little more "gamy",a last harder puzzle perhaps! Was in a bit of a rush needed sleep for today! :D

Artsicle11 Dec 2016, 21:10

Bit boring. I didnt see much to do other than press buttons. That only dropped cuees.

KJB of IBwWG11 Dec 2016, 21:15

LOL, I loved the writing :) Even the cherries...you could add some cherries and then you have a great pun :)

pouls11 Dec 2016, 21:20

I liked how you break the fourth wall in this game's writing.

ironchest11 Dec 2016, 21:23

nice writing!

Elastiskalinjenauthor11 Dec 2016, 21:29

@KJB of IBwWG Thanks, saw that now hahahahah, ohh well I might say it was a feature! :D

@Artisicle ye sorry for that, the time was not on my side! Next year!

@pouls Thanks, it was really funny to write!

@ironchest Thanks a lot!

i love the graphics

Soundless_dev11 Dec 2016, 23:27

The game is not fugly. It looks great and very polished. Though I'm not really sure if there's an objective. If there was, I missed it.

nico12 Dec 2016, 00:30

Awesome game, even though there isn't much actual game in it ;)
Nice writing and lovely art style.

Elastiskalinjenauthor12 Dec 2016, 07:03

@mkl thanks!

@Soundless_dev, Aww you are too kind. There was, or kind of, you can get to a credit scene!

@nico no you are right, It barely is a game, but the writing was in focus för this! Thanks nico!

tigerfinch12 Dec 2016, 07:59

Yeah, this is right up my street. I liked the humour and the artwork especially. A fun little game for a tired post-jam brain.

Sne12 Dec 2016, 08:21

Very nice artwork, the story is funny, chuckled a bit!
However, I wouldn't consider this in the "game" category, it's some kind of borderline case.

kidando12 Dec 2016, 08:33

Neat looking but short. Congrats on submitting your entry!

Elastiskalinjenauthor12 Dec 2016, 14:50

@tigerfinch thanks, I was aiming for something easy, I always makes too hard games!

@Sne, Thanks, I know, but I did not want a game that you can lose in!

@kidando Thanks, ye next time I will make a longer game!

DeathBySnail12 Dec 2016, 15:17

Found the secret! Was it a secret?

Quaternius12 Dec 2016, 15:36

Awesome idea! loved the graphics and reading all the text, wasn't boring at all.

onyon12 Dec 2016, 15:38

Nice graphics and sounds, keeping the great retro vibe alive throughout the whole thing.

Simple, but nice.

sgadrat12 Dec 2016, 15:43

Simply awesome

harark12 Dec 2016, 15:43

Nice graphics and humor! The controls felt nice, though it was a bit hard to push the cubes precisely. Luckily, the game didn't require that to finish.

Elastiskalinjenauthor12 Dec 2016, 15:44

@DeathBySnail,It is up to debate :P

@Quaternius, that is lovely to hear,the writing was in focus!:)

@onyon Really Awesome comment!

Pusty12 Dec 2016, 18:15

The dialogue were especially nice!

AntoineDesbiens12 Dec 2016, 22:52

I liked the humor, well done!

Elastiskalinjenauthor13 Dec 2016, 16:07

@harak Thanks, mm that could be better!
@Pusty Thank you!
@AntonieDesbiens Thanks!

springogeek13 Dec 2016, 20:57

Great graphics, sound and I loved the dialogue. Small, but entertaining :)

impbox14 Dec 2016, 10:02

Very cute! Enjoyed the humour and graphics.

qbicfeet14 Dec 2016, 14:54

I like the fourth-wall breaking flavor text, simple but effective.

Remicy16 Dec 2016, 11:01

Really love the art and puzzles.
It's impressed that you just have one day to make this game.

Alexbrainbox17 Dec 2016, 00:47

A very nice pico-8 entry :) Really nice use of the palette especially for the floor and wall textures.

SamH17 Dec 2016, 12:21

The best PICO-8 entry I’ve tested so far! The pixel art is cute, the controls and interactions feel polished, but of course it’s the 4th wall / meta humour that makes it enjoyable. My kind of stuff :)

Jupiter_Hadley18 Dec 2016, 17:11

Very good for how fast you made it! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/8ZKn12Y_qVg

axoona29 Dec 2016, 18:25

cool entry. I like the self irony.

kato92 Jan 2017, 16:52

Very weird, enjoyable little game. I feel like the humor makes up for the simple mechanics. I will cherries the time I spent with it :D
