Escape from the Lab

You must escape from the lab!

Scientists have always tried to condition you to their needs. Now it's your turn!

Can you condition the scientist in order to escape?

This was our first game jam, and we had a blast! To answer the theme of "Role Reversal", we decided to go with my dad's old joke:

A new lab rat is in a cage with an older lab rat. The older rat says: "hey kid, do you see that guy in the lab coat? If I hit this button he brings me food".

In the game, you'll play as a rat who has to train the scientist to let him escape.

The game systems are pretty solid - you can match rat activities to scientist behaviors, and the scientist uses them to react to the rat.

If we had more time, we would have added more mouse activities which would have allowed for more complex levels, and maybe a tutorial level too.

Anyway, like I said, we had a great time. See you next year!
