I liked the quirky-ness of this game, really reminding me of old flash games. The no-clip message also made me laugh. I got 63 tiles, overall.

Glad you liked the game!

Interesting concept, loved it! Wouldve been nice if you couldnt clip into the wall.

Thanks for playing my game!
I did get the idea of finding a way to not clip into walls, but there was so little time that I couldn't figure out how. Probably gonna reupload the game with these new features once the voting ends.

Super cool, I found myself playing over and over again trying to get as far as possible. Clipping into the walls is super annoying tho, maybe because I only noticed the warning sign at like a fifth try, but I wish it showed the score even if you clipped

Developer

Thanks for playing my game!
And yeah, I guess you're right. I should show the score even when you clip inside the wall.

Super clever idea - love how you interpreted the theme and this is an original idea. Definitely has a lot of potential. One key win for me was the art, great job making it look cool :)

Developer

Thanks for the play!

sweet idea but it needs a layout randomizer because i found an exploit which made me win  every time with 22 tiles .the exploit is near the beginning if you look closely and move accordingly, besides that i had fun

Thanks for playing my game!

Also, the goal of the game is to find the longest dead end and to get to that dead end in the most amount of tiles. It's not a game with a fixed ending, it's a game like flappy bird where you have to get the most score. I'll probably add a high score system once the voting ends.

NIce Game, The concept is very cool,

I really liked the game. you should have made the game in fullscreen.

But it really doesn't matter.

nice work, keep it up.

Developer

Thanks for playing my game!
