Escape Time
About Game
Escape Time is a 2D puzzle game where the player must use time and gravity portals to help the townsfolk avoid monsters and escape safely.
This is my first published game EVER thanks to the GameDev.tv Community Jam!
Think of this game like lemmings but with portals and monsters. Each level has a specific amount of portals you can use to get the townsfolk in better positions. Timing and placement of each portal is key!
I hope you enjoy my game!

I love the idea behind this but it started to feel a little repetitive after a little while. It could have done with some different pacing or more variety to keep it feeling a little fresher
(This is the second game on the video)
Playing approximately five levels, I enjoyed how the portal affects the characters' speed of movement. I was a little surprised that the portal caused the mushroom monster to fly up, but the speed up feature and quick retries make trial and errors enjoyable. Otherwise, the artwork is very nice! Great job!
I really liked the artwork! It took me a little while to realise you have to click the scroll first to place the portal. Great entry!
It really needs another button to speed up time even more than what Shift does.
Appreciate the feedback! I did up the speed a bit more, hope that feels better
great game!
Thank you!
