13 Steps to Escape
A pixel art puzzle game where you reach the flag, but you only have 13 steps before you respawn.
About this game
13 Steps to Escape is a 2D pixel art puzzle game. In every level you have to reach the flag. You push crates, pick up keys to open locks, trigger switches, roll a boulder and use many other mechanisms to find your way.
The catch is that you only get 13 steps or actions before you respawn, so every move counts. You customize your character, play through the levels and build your own levels in the built-in level editor to share with friends.
Tips: Plan your whole 13-step route before you move. If you get stuck, undo a move (E) or restart the level (R). Push crates and the boulder so that they open your path, and grab the key before the lock. Use your first try as exploration to see what the switches trigger.
You move with W A S D, Z Q S D or the arrow keys and confirm with Enter or Space. E undoes, R restarts the level and Esc returns to the menu. On a gamepad the stick moves and A confirms. The level editor is used with the mouse. It suits anyone who wants short, thought-provoking puzzles.
How to play
