just finished all the mazes with total amount of 756 moves lol. probably a skill issue. it was a great play. good job.

Developer

Well done for completing it! I actually think 756 moves is a good score. Thank you and glad you had fun with it :)

The game has such a unique concept, I am getting the feelings of that old Garfield game we used to play hahahah, nice job for a solo dev!

Developer

Ah thank you! This is the first time I've made a maze crawler game so I'm glad it comes across well.

Overall a nice implementation of a partial view maze.  Only thing I would like is a full screen option set through the Itch settings, then it would enable full screen, nice dark screen vibe. ( having the other Itch page info while playing the game is a bit distracting )

Developer

Thank you kindly. I've now enabled the full screen button!

How could I pass a fellow ghost-game? Nice maze runner! I felt the labirinth becoming more complex, was I overthinking?

Developer(+1)

Aha, absolutely not! The mazes do increase in size as you progress. I'll be sure to check out your ghost game too. Thank you for playing and for the kind feedback :)

Simple game, but the powerup is a really great addition to upgrade the game. Good Job :)

Developer

Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)

Nice simple game, I like how you can find pickups that give you a really quick scan of the maze. My first jam too, just happy to get something over the line haha. Well done :)

Developer

Thank you so much. I ran out of time to make the quick scan more helpful in the later levels!

Pretty cute game,  took me a minute to figure out how to play / controls but once i got it working it was addictive :)

Developer

Ah thank you so much! This is my first ever game jam entry so I'm really chuffed to hear that you enjoyed it :)

And yes, I realise I didn't put the control scheme anywhere... I'll add it to the description.
