Wii :D, finally! thank you guys, i want to play this game! ^^
Thank you to all who made this game possible :)

Good luck with the competition =)
To me was a good and fun experience, talk with all of you =).

Man it's hard :| Fun though! The sewer tileset looks a bit better than the desert though, having this level first would have given people a better first impression of the game

I've made a generic 64bit Linux installer for Last Escape (includes the latest bugfixes from today):

http://stuff.ltmnet.com/stuff/lastescape-linux.x86_64.run

make it executable and run it, will install the game.

Also, this was fun to be involved in :)

@darkrose: i cant run the game.. "cannot execute binary"

nevermind, compiled it myself.. im gonna test it right now..

jaderamiso, just rebuilt it with latest source, it works for me :)

it's 64bit only, you are using a 64bit system right?

Nice game, I'd declare it the best open jump and shoot (until proven otherwise) on linux. I like that jumpjetting and the mighty third weapon powerup. And it's nice to see several paths in one level. As for balancing: I think those energy-up-stars could give a litte more energy or other revenue. The payoffs don't seem to justify the use of the jumpjet, esp. when a fast runthrough lets you stay at nearly 100%. Nice mood, nice graphics and very nice music. Great work! And I hope OGA will enhance it even more. Maybe a small intro with the background story text (show it until keyhit). :)

Anyway I'm afraid I couldn't play through (got to level 3) due to bugs in the game (not the shootable ones) so here's my bugreport (Ubuntu 10.04 32bit). I hope you can make good use of it:

After some time, every time I collect a powerball it leads to "Failed to create thread" and a short lagging (becoming longer) and finally it leads to a segmentation fault when collecting a powerball. I think this is due to sound playing because the power-ball-sound failed, too (bgm playing ok). Hm, maybe I can playthrough by not collecting power-balls?

Another bug appeared after gameover. There where problems loading images "Reason: out of memory". But there was still plenty of memory available.

And in between it printed out a lot of 0/1 - don't know wether these are just usual/ok debug-printings.

As for packaging: Maybe move the "how-to-compile-using-cmake"-file to the main directory where the readme is? And I haven't found artists/coders credits, art licensing(?) and link to OGA.

But now take your deserved nap.

@darkrose, im on a 32bit machine.. that was my problem :D hahaha.. anyway compiled it myself.. the game runs with no problems.. im gonna take a quick run on the levels..

Congratulations !

I just played the first level, but I'm impressed with the result you got with a 48h time credit !
