Froli on the run is a new Point and Click adventure game for the Gameboy, inspired by classic Lucasarts games (especially Sam & Max Hit the Road). As well as being heavily inspired by Object Shows, such as Battle For Dream Island.

In this game, you follow Froli on his journey to break out of prison. This involves recruiting allies, finding odd items, making trades, and solving puzzles.

The Crew

FROLI

Froli is our protagonist. 
He's a little dim-witted and violent, but people like him, and are willing to accept his conversations.

Henchman

 

Henchman is everyone's least-favorite multitool.
Why exactly do people hate him, I don't hear you asking? No reason, I guess he has a hateable face. Froli doesn't hate him, but I don't think henchman knows that.

Durian


Durian is a psychopath!
Durian is pyromaniac torturer who somehow got into minimum security, despite the countless atrocities he's committed! Froli, one of his past victims, has grown to be one of his closest friends, and oddly, he seems to avoid hurting Henchman. Durian is such a good cook, that he's able to cook anything you want (except food.)

Greg

You play as Greg. not Froli. 
Greg is a world-class puzzle solver and genius. He speaks in symbols, and is always just off-screen.


Demo

The version you can currently play is a DEMO. Currently it features up until you leave your cell.

This demo is extremely glitchy, so please, if you come across any glitches, send them in the comments.

Some bugs/errors that I have fixed, but haven't released yet:

- henchman's dialog was swapped.

- typo in one line

- durian's animation briefly repeats

- there's a fade in for durian's animation

- you can beat the demo without getting rid of bone

Ones I need to fix:

- no implication that you can give durian the broken vent piece

- no screenshake In durian's animation

- bugs revolving around switching actions

i love how bone's hat changes colour after he does his key flip.. so magestic

Truly the magic of making minor mistakes.
