Last weekend, The Game Studio participated in Ludum Dare and completed two games! The theme was “Escape.”

Escape From Music Manor: A Rhythmic Roguelike!

Zachary created a single-button rhythm roguelike called Escape From Music Manor: A Rhythmic Roguelike!. In it, you must escape the dastardly Music Manor by timing your button presses to select your actions, all to the tune of a procedurally-generated soundscape.

Is there anything in this room that won't kill me?

Solar Escape

Evan created a space escape game called Solar Escape. In it, you must escape the explosion of a dying star by slingshotting your ship through planets while avoiding space debris that will slow you down.

Hmm... this is exactly where I don't want to be.

Here at The Game Studio, we not only work hard, but we play hard. We decided to play hard through a bit of Final Form Games’ latest offering, Jamestown: The Legend of the Lost Colony. The verdict? Neo-classical.
