I like the idea of solving the same maze over and over again, however the controls felt a bit clunky and slow, maybe this would best be a game where you try to speedrun the levels with very easy controls?

Love the soundtrack and sound effects btw, it really sucks me in!

Yeah, the controls combined with the lack of vision made the game difficult to enjoy. But I did appreciate the general presentation, and it did a good job of capturing a sense of isolation. Plus, it felt unique!

thanks!

I liked the maze, the soundtrack, the changing maze gimmick and the visuals, but this is one of the few times were I think it would be better without the mouse controls. It was more of a frustrating replacement to keyboard controls rather than a unique gimmick.

Still very much well done! I enjoyed it overall!

Developer

yeah, the movement is one of the things we should have improved... sorry for that.

we appreciate that you played our game and enjoyed it :>

I finished it! ( ゚∀゚ノノ゙ but I was on the first level for longer than I wish to admit lmao

I completed all three and 1 and 3 have a green tick but 2 doesn't? I found both keys in level 2 so I'm wondering if I needed to do something specific to get a green tick on 2?

Good job on the game, it was  fun!

i think you should have gone to the exit on level 2 after collecting the 2nd key, the checkmark/tick would appear then :) thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed it :D
