This is really fun! I immediately wanted more levels when it was over. I think this mechanic is one that could easily be expanded into a full game, and it feels like you are hinting that there is a story to tell here as well, so that's awesome. And I didn't notice until my second playthrough that the gun isn't just a sound; you can actually shoot the prisoner! Presumably you would eventually turn the gun into a dual-purpose item with a nice juicy risk/reward component which would be cool. I think the game suffers just a bit from the lack of music, but that's par for the course for a 48-hour jam I think. Overall, this is an amazing premise and a very nice execution. Great work!

Rate our game too if you like! https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2020/rate/696649

Fun concept, well executed.

There are only a couple of levels, but I think that is sufficient for a quick experience on a game jam, so good job with that!

That was good. I'd love to see more levels, with some expanded mechanics.

Very cool, love the concept! Could be developed into a full game with more features and levels I feel.

Hilarious, seeing the poor prisoner fall splat onto the spikes from your misguidance made me snicker everytime. Love the level design and choice of tools you can use. If you ever get to make more levels or develop this into a full game, I'd love to see what you can do with it!

Absolutely loved this game! The humour at the end was very good, and there was some sort of tragic comedy when he fell onto the spikes lol. The concept was great and very well executed, and the puzzles were also very well designed: Make more levels please! Overall, this is an amazing jam entry! PS if you are trying to breakout of somewhere maybe using a loud firearm isn't a great idea lol

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

You are right about the fire arm not being a particularly good tool for quite breakout. Originally I wanted to have guards that would respond to noises as well, so your gun fire would help and hinder you. I ended up scraping that for the jam because I didn't think I could do it justice in the time that I had, so the gun remains.
