Incredible concept and a great execution, especially for only 72 hours. My one thought is this: should the player be force to start at the beginning of the maze each time? I realize that by traveling to adjacent tiles I accumulate more points but it felt like I could negate some of my bad decisions if I wanted by placing easy tiles down, whereas if I was forced to start at the beginning each time, it might make me play through my decisions (good or bad). Either way, this is a fantastic entry and you should be very proud!

I'm glad you liked it!
If by always starting at begining you mean that start tile never changes is location I did consider that. It felt too repetitive as I could always go exactly the same path all the time with very little incemental change for all levels. Then I thought it could change every 10 levels or so but ended up with current system. It felt beter even though not by much.
I should come up with more interesting tiles and effect for update.
