Dark Lab Escape

Do you like energy beams? Maybe reflecting them off the walls of a science facility?

Well have I got a treat for you!

Rambly details

This Ludumdare went a lot better than the last one, I've put together a game that I'm moderately proud of. It's clear there's still a lot of work to do (and engine code to write) to get good at building games quickly - especially as my style is to build as much of the system from scratch as possible.

I hope the game is pretty self explanatory, but in case it isn't: After starting the game, your job is to hold the mouse button to fire the energy beam, and guide the beam to the target (red orb), then hold it there to charge the orb and open the next level. Try not to waste too much power or you might not be able to escape the facility which is slowly running out of power. The narration / text dialogs are unskippable, sorry.
