Hiya! Thanks a lot for checking out my game!
It's been a long time since I last joined in with a Ludum Dare - and I wasn't going to submit anything for this one, either, thanks to a busy weekend. But inspiration struck me on Sunday evening (of course!) and I just had to see if I could whip something up. Since I wasn't able to get to a computer until after midnight, this game wasn't made in 72 hours, or 48 - it was made in 24.
Needless to say, it's -very- short! I had a lot of stuff planned for it, but I decided to make something tiny and polished rather than try to cram all my ideas in. Hopefully you'll still enjoy it, even if there's barely any game to play.
Here's a load of stuff I had ready for it, just to give you an idea of what I would have done with more time.
----------------
You've woken up in a very strange place, locked in a very strange cell... So strange, in fact, that it's rocket-powered. Maybe you can find a way out?
--- Controls ---
Use WASD or the arrow keys to boost until you hit a block. Alternatively, click towards the edges of the screen to boost in that direction (use the background to guide you with your clicks). Be careful - you have a limited number of charges per level!
Restart any stage by either clicking on the 'R' in the top-left corner or by pressing the R key. You can quit the game at any time by pressing Escape.
--- Music ---
There's no music! There was no time for it at all, I'm afraid. I suggest finding a good 8-bit/chiptune track to listen to on YouTube whilst you play. A game that allows your own music? Surely it must have the best soundtrack!
--- Sound Effects ---
All of the SFX used in Cell Out! were downloaded from opengameart.org. If you want to use them too, you can find them right here: https://opengameart.org/content/512-sound-effects-8-bit-style
--- Android Version ---
If you'd like to play on your Android device, you can download the APK file! It's a post-jam port with very minor bugfixes (just a few layering issues).
