Great Escape
Small and simple game about the inevitable loss of socks after washing.
Your mission is simple. Don't let your socks escape!
You can choose from 2 difficulties and two game modes.
In mode "Paires" you are trying to save the most color-paired socks you can.
In mode "Singles" you are so despearate, that you are just trying to save as much socks as possible.
Controls are simple. Just use your mouse to grab those little running textile bastard before they can run away from the screen. Repeat until time limit on washing machine ends and you can enjoy sockfull life.
Game features such amazing things as handdrawn socks and... that's about it.
Thanks for playing and enjoy!

The socks are really cute and the gameplay is simple yet very effective. And it's such a refreshing interpretation of the theme. Well done !
The music, gameplay and art beautifully capture the comedic absurdity of the concept, creating a consistently light-hearted yet joyfully intense experience.
I legitamately don't have any criticisms of this game. Really nice job!!
I like to catch socks in the game. They are very charismatic. Thank you for choosing the difficulty in the game (I like it more on the slow one).
It is not always clear whether you will hook the sock with the cursor or not.
The game is very cute and I had fun playing.
As others have mentioned, the time bar could be bigger or more prominent, because without the comments, I wouldn't have noticed it. But otherwise it's a really well made game!
May be the game could be a bit better with a progressbar for how much time you have, that is all the feecback I could come up with. Very solid game, I like it!
Nice mini game with a lot of expensions posible.
For example the Whites with one evil red sock.
Very silly game, I love that "Sock loss" is inevitable :wink:
I do wonder if there could be some sort of timer or indication to the user about when the "craziness" will end. The first time I played I was beginning to wonder if there would be an end.
Maybe this little game will help me get my shi...- urm, socks together!
I really liked the general idea of the game, and the socks look so adoreable, lol :)
This could be like a warioware minigame, so cute! :)
Also really liked that theres two game modi and two difficulties! Good job!
It would be great to store the socks that the player picks to accumulate points with the option to have a highscore
The lacking part is the audio. The loop music is very short and becomes annoying very quickly (almost stopped playing because of this)
A sound for grabbing and letting go would be nice to add.
Nice entry anyway, congratulations!
Nice music and graphics. wish the socks made some sounds themselves when picking up and dropping them.
Can't say much more because it's a very simple game, hah. Good entry overall!
