Interesting idea, I like that in order to progress you have to die... a lot. Well done!

Really solid entry and a good foundation to work on further if you decide to! Would like the ability to bolster the player... maybe the longer you go without dying gives some in game currency to give you upgrades... such as a torch that shows longer, gives a hint of where a trap is, shows the last taken path etc.

Good use of audio and you followed the theme well! :)


Thanks for jamming with us again! (and love the splash screen!)

This is very atmospheric even though the audio and visuals are simple! I like the use of trial-and-error as a mechanic :)

It's a bit frustrating to walk and died without knowing why, maybe if the background were a bit more details you could make some hints for the players to see if ther's a trap or not. But i loved the sfx ! and it's jam so good work !

I died in almost every possible way xD

In any other context that would be a concerning comment, but here... we love it! :)

This is cool game but it was a bit too frustrating for me

Developer

Thank you for playing the game!

I Think we need a bit more instruction or clearer instruction.

The maze is built with 40 - 50 traps in it. You're trying to reach the end of the maze with as few as a body count as possible.


You will die ... You will die a lot!

Love the maze theme! Only thing that annoyed me was not knowing where "traps" are. I just died, with no clue of knowing it, and then had to restart every time :( would be really cool to see a version where i can see the traps! (not obviously, but maybe with small hints?)
