Didn't find an enemy. And i'm sad about it because i really wanted to stab at least one. Dear maze keeper if you go back, i'm sorry for stabbing all your plants and eating all your donuts. - The knife man

I liked the idea of a maze shifting while out of your view. That being said, there's unfortunately not enough finished game here to really draw a fair conclusion about what this game "could" be.


If applied to any number of other genres, this concept could be taken to a very powerful conclusion, e.g. a haunted house where the rooms shift dynamically.

Great idea, but sadly, not enough game here.

The maze shifting out of your view is an interesting idea, but so subtle that I don't think I'd have noticed it for a while. Is there an end? Are there any enemies? I'm afraid it didn't hold my interest for long enough to find out.

I seem to be saying this a lot, but I'd have really appreciated a look-invert option!

Thanks, now I want a donut. Good job on the maze generation, I guess that is where the time was spent the most. Waited for 5 minutes, saw the enemies, but no damage from them.

Enjoy your donut 😋

Thank you, probably over a day was spent on the maze generation, yeah 😅

The enemy damage worked at first, but now it doesn't... Occasionally you should still get hit though 🤷‍♂️

I was so scared of something jumping out at me! Nicely done.

5 miutes is a very long time to wait for having something to attack - is there anything else to do during the day? I went arround couldn't find anything.

Hi,

Thank you for playing the game :)

Like I said I'm the description: "The first 5 minutes of the game are also rather pointless right now, as this time was intended for preparation for the night, but there was no time to implement any mechanics around this." We realized this a couple of minutes before the deadline. I tried to make another build where the first day only takes 1 minute, but it wasn't done in time, unfortunately.
