Kind of had horror game vibes. Would be nice to see a few more props and points of interest inside the maze. Not sure if this is what you were going for, but the player controls added to that feeling of chaos and panic. Was a good idea to have the start/finish marked with lights that could be seen while walking around in the maze.

It was not my idea to make it spooky and/or chaotic. But I admit that with more skills I would love to revisit this with intent.
For the lights at start and finish (also the slight change in color for the external walls), it's because I have zero spatial awareness and the size of the maze made it easy to get lost faster and way less fun to explore.
Thank you for your comment! :D
Thanks for the comment :)
Yeah, I realize that the camera controls might have been a little too excited and I think it's entirely my fault, I like it when my mouse goes zipping around the screen at crazy speed. Objectively, now that I get comments like these, I realize I should be more careful with it or allow players to change it to something they like. I'll keep it in mind for the next game and be more careful :)
I agree that visually it could have been better and that I wasn't able to properly display the theme. The idea was that when I was young, one of the activities I enjoyed was a maze done in the parking lot of a pharmacy with bales of hay near Halloween time... It was a cozy time not too spooky for a chicken like me XD
I'll keep it in mind to study ways to make better graphics for the next game, thanks for the input :)
