Ooze: The Escape

logical platformer game for Commodore 64, 2023

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use Control Port 2.

You play as Ooze, a sentient blob. You must guide it through laboratories and
ventilation ducts in order to escape from the evil Machines. To escape, you
must disable the four force fields by finding their corresponding coloured
code keys and inserting them into the central system.

You must avoid contact with the robots guarding the complex, as well as
environmental hazards such as crushers and toxic gas pipes. You have no way
of defending yourself and must use precision timing to avoid the various
dangers, as well as being able to defy gravity by clinging to the ceiling.

The controls are simply left, right and fire to flip between the floor and the
ceiling. You start with five lives and can gain extra lives hidden throughout
the complex. You die instantly if you touch a hazard. There is no
checkpointing and you reset at the start of the screen you died on. The game
ends when all force fields are deactivated and you can reach the exit.
