This was quite good! It was fun and really quite polished. I love the little Codies popping up on the main menu, that's such a fun little detail. The gameplay itself was a bit simplistic and all the powerups did basically the same thing to varying degrees. Maybe make the batteries last 3 seconds each rather than 3 seconds total? They seemed to drain way too fast. I didn't understand the part about only 2 paths being able to reach an exit. Where does the third one go, just a dead end in an isolated part of the maze? Dig the ambience and the music. For a first game jam, this was pretty solid. Congrats!

Hi. Thanks for your comprehensive feedback and concerns! The batteries actually take up 3 seconds per battery, but I agree with you, they seem to decay really fast. About the ways: Yes, only two ways are connected to the exits, one way is just leading nowhere (where you basically run in a circle). However, this is a bit boring, because I was not able to add a "lose condition" in the time, so basically if you run long enough in the maze, you will eventually find an exit. But yeah, two of the three ways in the center of the maze (your spawn location) lead to the three possible exits, one is basically a dead end.
