My first real game

Blue Fish Goes Treasure Hunting
A browser game made in HTML5

Just uploaded my first "real" game using a proper game engine. Took me some 2 weeks to make. Still in development, but has basic functionality. Planning to add more features and locations in the future.

The game uses recursive backtracker algorithm to create a maze. Then some walls are removed to create loops so it's not a perfect maze anymore. Each cell configuration is given an index from 0 to 15. Later pre-designed location scenes are instanced according to the index. Some are additionally flipped horizontaly or verticaly on random. Some indices have more than one location to choose from.
