Lab Escape

Lab Escape, our submission for Boss Rush Jam 2024!

Help three kids escape a secret government facility. On their journey to freedom they will have to face the aftermath of mind control experiments, capable of bending creatures (and sometimes inanimate matter) to their will. The kids themselves were held there for a reason, and have many means of defense...

  

How to play:  

Inflict damage on possessed units to weaken the health of the mind-controlling boss. Each boss comes with slightly different rules that you must uncover to prevail (You can't harm inanimate objects, can you?). If you don't know what to do next, check the bottom of the window for helpful tips.

Keep in mind that when a unit is under attack, you can use the kids' exchange ability to swap it with another unit. If the other unit has its reaction charged, it will use it before facing the attack. This is the only way reactions can be triggered.
