SUBSCAPE
Every door, trap, and exit is counting down. Every step you take... ticks the ship forward.
Subscape is a turn-based puzzle game set aboard a strange underwater vessel in which you can cheat the clock.
Drag a timer onto another and swap their countdowns. Stall a hazard. Open a path. Buy yourself one more turn.
Reach the exit before it closes, and share your best score online !
How to play
- Move across the grid, one tile per turn
- Every move ticks every timer on the ship
- When a timer hits 0, that object activates
- Drag green ↔ red timers to swap their remaining turns
- Reach the exit while it's still open
Controls
- WASD or Arrows - Move
- Mouse drag - Swap green and red timers

i get an error while trying to play the game. i would love to try it when it's available!
Really? What's the error ? Thank you
Yeah, I just tried again while trying to follow the tutorial and the game is still confusing for me.
The game seems fun, but the when it's the right moment text blocks the player from seeing half the screen. I believe it is the third text box. Therefore I often kept running into the wall because I could not see.
Thank you, I will move it out of the way haha. Did you get past that first level though ?
No I think there is a bug with that door too because it is the same time as the exit
That's the purpose of switching the timers. So you can switch the high timer of the door with the low timer of the enemy, like stated in the tutorial
Could you give me some advice on how to play the game? I cant even get through the first level.
Heyy yes for sure, I'm really interested in what caused trouble for you can you elaborate? The goal is to reach the exit, and you can switch timers for the different objects to solve the puzzles. Did you get to read the tutorial?
