Does this game not have music?

I like the strategy part, that you have to choose when to stop making walls. You want there to be a lot of walls for a high score but not too many walls that the level is impossible.

One suggestion is that if the level becomes impossible (you used all your bombs and can't reach the exit), the game should tell you that.

Another suggestion is to tell the player something like "press any key to stop generating walls", otherwise they wouldn't know what to do at the start.

No music. I usually mute music in other games, so I haven't even thought about adding music here.

Thanks, I'll consider it.

It already does that:

And when you move through the maze, there (at the bottom of the game), you can see what other buttons you can press, and some general information.

I did see the "Press Space" message, but it did not stand out where it was, so the game had already generated an impossible maze by the time I noticed. I did read the game's description first, so if you had said it there as well, or maybe in a more prominent a message after the start screen, I probably would have seen it.

I think the game could be okay without music, but having an 8-bit sound play every time the player moves and a second "get" sound when you get the coin would add to the atmosphere.

In all, a cool unique game.
