GAMEPLAY: 4 /5
The movement really reminded me of an old arcade favorite of mine -- Asteroids. But of course this game has much more to do than just blow up asteroids.
Having a mini-map was very helpful.
It was sometimes hard to get the ship lined up with the extraction point over the planets -- especially when enemies are attacking at the same time.
I got a score of 790.
CREATIVITY: 4 / 5
I like how this game takes Asteroids to the next level. There were a couple different enemies and planets which kept things interesting.
GRAPHICS / SOUND / POLISH: 5 / 5
Best looking graphics in this Game Jam. I also noticed how the engines glowed brighter when you accelerated. Nice touch! I'm also pleased by the large images and screen size.
INTERPRETATION OF THEME AND COMPLETENESS: 5 / 5
If you think about it, there are two kinds of escape in this game: Helping the prisoners escape and then escaping yourself.
Although I didn't beat it, this game also had a very "finished" feel to it.
