Description
I'm never going to finish this, but it's still a playable, fun distraction with some unique stuff. Why not, eh?
How to Play
Arrow keys or WSAD
Developer Updates
The game now saves your progress. Iโm sorry for not putting this in before; I thought the game was too short, and I really didnโt think Kongregate was going to give it a badge.
Note: Stars arenโt collected until you escape the room you are in. So make sure to actually leave the room with the last star in it to get the badge!
Okay, due to an unprecedented positive reaction (thanks!) I might finish this in the future.
Here are some FINISHED games that were released this week that I think you should play:
http://www.kongregate.com/games/robotJAM/flaming-zombooka
http://www.kongregate.com/games/Xplored/zombies-in-the-shadow (this has lighting too!)
http://www.kongregate.com/games/LongAnimals/drift-runners-2 give it a chance! If you find it hard keep at it, this is how games all used to be when I was young!

Like most of the people who've commented, I'd say that this game is essentially already finished. All it needs is more levels -- you already have enough features to build interesting puzzles.

A neat little game, and yet another person saying that you're selling it short. It's eminently playable, as you said, and if you hadn't told me I would never have thought it 'unfinished'.

This game has a lot of potential with a few more levels and a bit more challenge this could become a very good game. Even so I am impressed good job. My rating is 5/5 for a game having great potential.

Honestly, you've got 75% of a game here. Throw in a couple more levels and you could call it "done". Not every game needs to be a 3 hour epic; it's nice to feel like you can "win" a game in 10-15 minutes!
