Update after the jam

Escape The Lab
A browser game made in HTML5

It was my first jam and i am very impressed how good the community is and how serious everyone were about playing, rating and giving feedback about the game.  I learned a lot in that proccess.

After the rating period was over i got all those nice feedback and did some updates:

- Player speed is faster and levels are smaller

Maybe about half of the comments were that the character is fun but he moves too slow, that in conjunction with the size of the levels made the experience boring. I adjusted it now.

- New jump physics and mechanics

I implemented 3 new things to the jump mechanics.
Coyote timer, Jump Buffer and a little decrease in the gravity when the character is hitting the apex of the jump. All of those had a nice result and made the jump feels good.

- Camera movement shows more of the screen ahead

- Polished foreground and background sprites 

- New Switch sprites

- WASD controls

- New tutorial


Thanks for everyone who played and comment on the Jam page.

If you liked the game, please comment.
