The dead ends in the maze are not real. Those walls are an illusion and you can pass straight through them

Great concept. I have a feeling that the fake walls are always in the end of a tunnel. Make easy to find my way. But cool puzzle nice entry!

I struggled with this game more than I'd like to admit. I think it is a very creative idea and you added mechanics to change up each maze. By the 3rd one I had gotten the hang of it and it was a lot of fun.

Developer

That's really nice to hear and glad you managed to make it so far

Cool idea, but it wasn't very fun because all it consisted of was trial and error. I appreciate the effort that went into this!

Developer

Thanks for your honesty. I agree that there could be other things to make it fun especially after seeing other peoples mazes which have power ups and things to collect etc

First off, I thought this game will be too easy. But no, you have to taking every dead ends into account and applying circle to prevent dead ends. Its a great game with a good concept.

Also I like that you apply grid-like movement to the player to make it easier to get pass the dead end.

Very cool concept. I feel like an x-ray power up would be cool. :) Great job. :)

Developer

Thanks. That's an excellent suggestion
