Mr. Tinkles: The Yowl for Freedom

A Game by Stephanie Creeley

“Mr. Tinkles: The Yowl for Freedom” is a comedic game dealing with the serious topic of animal testing. It is set in a lab in a restricted wooded area just outside your home city. You are a cat named Mr. Tinkles, donated to the lab from the SPCA after your owner, Mr. Jenkins, was put into a nursing home.

After invasive testing you realize you have gained strange powers. You use these powers to escape to get back to Mr. Jenkins but the dangers of the lab, staff, and mutated escaped experiments stand in your way. Will you ever see your home again?

The level I will be making for class is Level One, which will be a tutorial level.

It begins in the labs experiment maze used to test your powers. It then expands into the halls as you break out. You level through the window.

In the labs you will come across robotic mice, exploding barrels, and puzzles. Outside you must evade capture, and quickly get out the window. Its summer out, about midday.

The labs is typical sterile white.

Main environmental land marks are the large signs marking lab wings, and test rooms.
