What is Joyous?

Joyous is a mix of 3D and 2D gameplay and puzzles. The idea is that in order to solve a puzzle in the arcade machine, you must explore your 3D surroundings for clues and vice versa.
While this is simply a prototype, the concept could be easily expanded upon with more time.

Look for numbers outside the room.

When the green panel is up just enter the numbers with your keyboard. I did use the numbers under the function keys - not the ones on the num pad (but I guess they should also work). Be aware that the number you need is randomized so it won't be the same between plays.
