Abelian by merrak
You are trapped in a one-room maze, with the exit only a short hop away. This should be a quick escape, right? But the room is shifting!
Navigate back and forth through increasingly difficult challenges in the one-room maze. Is there an escape, or are you doomed to retrace your steps for all eternity?

Super hard, and then a time limit on top! But your retry loop was fast enough and with the random content I was always seeing new levels, so I kept playing.
Best score was only 895, so I wans't very good, ha. I'm not even sure that play was my best run, I might have just had the easiest generation that time.
Great presentation and good design choices made the mechanics shine.
I would agree with the others who thought the heavy momentum was a little too strong, but it was fair. Just made it a lot harder.

Needless to say: this is one of my favs. Out of curiosity: what is "abelian" about this game? I'm only familiar with the group theoretical sense of the term, but symmetry is something.
Do you have other games, a website, or twitter? Get in touch (I'm @arrogantgamer)!
I didn't like going back to the beginning after dying, I would have preferred to replay the level.
Great job all round!
