VXAce - Safety in Numbers

SAFETY IN NUMBERS A One Map Puzzle GameABOUT: I made this game as a final project for a game design class I took in college. It's small, simple, and a little bit buggy, but it's complete. I'm proud to finally have a finished game to show off after many years of dreaming about making games. I can now call myself a game developer. I hope you enjoy this little game of mine. STORY: You wake up in a cell-like room with no memory on how you got there. A note tells you that you must find a code to unlock the door in order to escape. If you fail to unlock the door before the timer runs out, you will be trapped there forever. HOW I MADE THIS GAME: I took inspiration from the movie SAW and the game SAFE HOUSE. I wanted to make a simple game that could be played quickly and had a Halloween theme to it. I initially started with the idea of making a horror-themed quiz show, where the player had to find the answer in various books to get keys that would eventually lead to the final key. However, I decided this concept was too complex and simplified. The following gameplay is the result of much refinement. I tried to make a simple game that could be played by one person in 10 minutes or less. GAMEPLAY: You have 10 minutes to beat the game You must find the correct sequence of numbers to escape the room Once the correct sequence of numbers are discovered, the player can escape IMAGES/SCREENSHOTS Spoiler DOWNLOAD LINK Spoiler http://www.mediafire.com/file/uzranafzbz7lc0k/Safety_In_Numbers.exe/file

Heh, I stopped monitoring this thread a while ago. Sorry I missed your message. I know my little game doesn't offer much, but I hope you enjoyed it all the same.

Yes I have! It was a simple and short puzzle game. I'm a great fan of room escaping puzzles and I enjoyed it very much. Nice game! :)
