Hello everyone !
I'm proud to present you my first Jam game : Escapist !
The aim of this game is to escape from an island that will soon be submerged by the water.
To do this, you need to create a ship : the Escapist.
`Will your civilization espape from it's fateful destiny ?`
To do this, you will need to gather resources and expand your buildings.
My game is based on the Slick2D Java library. If you have java installed, you can run it easily.
For Linux users, you may have to install the openjfx lib that is not available directly with open-jdk !
```shell
sudo apt-get install openjfx
```
To run the game on UNIX computers :
```shell
java -jar escapist.jar
```
* Mouse + Click / Arrows to select a zone
* [1]-[5] to build
* [DEL] to destroy a building
* [R] restart the game
* [I] information menu
* [P] pause the game
Resources
Buidlings
Every building requires and provides resources. Some buildings have placement restrictions !
Be carefull and don't let your buildings being submerged by the water !
Once you collected enough resources you can build your Escapist ship, and survive until the building is complete.

Here's what the game looks like ! (GIF)
All the game have been created in Java using the Slick2D library.
My code is available on Github (it's pretty messy, don't hit me please :disappointed_relieved:)
All the resources have been created with my little hands / voice :heart:
