-About-
Ludum Dare 41 Submission that is an escape-game (Escape Room) cross platformer in the gameboy palette.
*Snippet from a response below:*
> “Escape Room is a subgenre of Point and click adventure” - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_the_room
> I know it feels like I mixed puzzles and platforming, but if you play a game that is normally defined as a puzzle platformer, that usually entails moving blocks, and pressing switches to progress. My game on the other hand, tries to implement the concept of point and click by allowing the player to control where they look, and focuses on logical puzzles to escape the area in a set amount of time, hence Escape Room.
> So by design, doing an escape room and platforming is not common, and if I had done this in an entirely different way, would have felt incompatible, but because I executed it in a way that I felt was fun and interesting, it feels compatible, which by the way can be said about puzzle + platformer if you remove the fact that the combination is common currently, seeing as the genre’s themselves aren’t compatible unless executed properly.
