Escape the Flood 🌊

Intro

Escape the Flood is a remixable obby template designed for the Meta Horizon Creator Competition.
Players race against a rising flood, and creators can easily design new levels by building inside the Assetizer Box.

It was inspired a lot by watching my son playing mobile games with his friends. I was also very motivated to take part in the competition itself. The main issue I had was simply that there is not enough time in a day. We had a lot of fun collaborating and creating this template, and we want to build more.

Features

Plug-and-play Assetizer Box for custom levels
Flood Controller with adjustable height, speed, gravity, and player speed

Level Guidelines

Keep all geometry of the level you create inside the Assetizer Box
When creating a new level, all 3 orange mechanical boxes (Flood End, Flood Control, and World Sfx), the spawn, and the end point must be grouped together into the world asset
Provide at least one Exit Marker, Flood End Height Box, and Sfx Box, and group them all together
A collider box surrounds the play area to prevent fall-throughs
Build upwards with interesting paths

Performance Checklist (Mobile)

Use simple materials & low-overdraw water
Keep text short and high-contrast
Ensure geometry runs smoothly on mobile devices

Known Limitations

Only supports one active level at a time
Flood increments are percentage-based rather than continuous
Players can reach a final end goal, but future updates may add a point system that rewards lasting the round as well as reaching the exit
