Comfort Zone
------------
(Note: at the end of this description is a link to a version that fixes some of the bugs)
You are confined to your room - to your familiar surroundings. However, push against the boundaries and see what's beyond. Who knows what's behind that open door?
Less pretentious version:
This is a puzzle game where you push against the walls of room to gradually move the room over to the door (where you can proceed to the next level). However, the area of the room always remains the same, and you can never split the room (One Room!). If pushing against a wall doesn't work, it's because it would split the room (the split area will flicker red). If it does work, it drags the walls behind you with you.
Avoid the poison gas! In later levels, a key must be in the room with you in order to open the door.
There are 8 levels. And yes, they are all solvable!
Turn up the audio, there's lots of it (and clues too).
Note: The WebGL version does not work properly in Edge (the arrow keys end up being sticky, making it impossible to control). It works fine in Chrome.
Note: There are still some bugs where sometimes you can travel through the walls, and the walls go a bit wonky (in the later levels). Either reset the level (click on the refresh icon), or try to force your way back inside the room again :-). The controls are still a bit sticky too. If you're sticking, back off from the wall you're interacting with (it is highlighted in a lighter blue).
Another bug: you aren't supposed to be able to win if you reach the door and the poison gas at the same time - but indeed, you can. So trying to win by not doing that :-).
I've fixed some of these bugs in this version: http://icefallgames.com/Games/ComfortZone2 (the official links below are still the original, to be used for judging)
