Escape - An ASFR Themed Platformer

[StoneLad]

Hello all!  I tried to post this in the original thread but for some reason I cannot post in the games forum without getting an error.  I made this announcement on my deviantART page and on my tumblr page, but I feel I should also make it here.  I've restarted my old platformer project from a while ago.  This time, I'm building my own game from scratch which allows me much more freedom than the program I used to make the original demo.

I'm not just rebuilding that original demo and then adding on, however.  This new game will use significantly enhanced graphics (many assets of which are being shared with my forum game.  This game is part of the reason updates have slowed on said forum game) and feature all new levels, the first 10 of which are reimagined versions of the levels seen in the demo.

You can view comparisons between the original's graphics and some of the new game's graphics below:
Original Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ureK8rHR61w
New Version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7-FAhel9e0

Other than the obvious additional levels and transformations that will be seen in the full version of the game, new features include mid-level checkpoints, saving and loading, and a gallery.  You can check out additional screenshots and videos on my tumblr which I'll be updating frequently as I make progress.  I'll also post some updates here as well.

Where I can play it?

[StoneLad]

I just realized I never posted any updates featuring the 2nd world, Icy Depths, here.  Here's an update I posted last night to catch people who haven't been following my tumblr up to speed.

Thanks for sharing. Can't wait for the first playable version... 

[StoneLad]

Well, if you really can't wait...

This is more of a demo to make sure the game actually runs on others' computers.  While there was a hiccup at first, the version I released now seems to be working for people which is nice.

I'm also going to go ahead and say prepare to see my productivity drop on this game for a while because I have more...important matters to uh...attend to...

Awesome game so far, StoneLad! Good level design. I like some of the traps like in level 4 where if you jump on certain innocent looking platforms you basically have to look back to get off.

The only thing is I wish I could play it full screen.

[StoneLad]

Yeah, I've found no way to scale sprites so unfortunately, it's probably going to be locked in that resolution in that window.

The game won't let me play it cuz it said my computer sux...

....Not in so many words mind you, but I'm serious about my computer being unable to play it.
