Cleo is a young mage imprisoned for reasons unknown. After being taken to her cell, she finds she managed to keep a small, weak wand concealed in her robe, and plots her escape.

NOTE: TIC-80 web builds run in Firefox can be extremely choppy. If you're experiencing this, you can try going into your Firefox settings and disabling recommended performance, and enabling using hardware acceleration when possible. If this doesn't resolve the issue, there's unfortunately nothing else I can do, but downloadable versions are available.

Install instructions

For the .tic file, you have to place it in your TIC-80 working directory and then load it. For the Windows executable, all you have to do is run it.

For the Mac build, you must first open the terminal and run

chmod a+x jailbird-1_0-mac && xattr -c jailbird-1_0-mac

The first command will make the file executable, and the second clears extended attributes, including clearing the browser’s quarantine flag to avoid invoking the Gatekeeper.

For the Linux build, you may need to run

chmod a+x jailbird-1_0-linux

before the file can be run. This command will make the file executable.
