That was a lot of fun! I almost thought I was ready to give up, but the solution presented itself! Good stuff.

Nice little game with a great concept. The levels were very well designed for the most part, although I have to admit that towards the end they seemed kind of random. I laughed out loud at the level that spelled out words (I don't want to be specific, as to save the moment for others).

Thank you all for the great comments :)

jrrt: I should have added more colours so you could get a bit more of a song out of it! :P

Argh, your game is so hard I think I broke down into tears during the fourth level. Really love it though. Great twist on the classic maze game. The subtle sound effect is a nice "WRONG" to the player, excellent feedback. My only concern is with some of the more complex levels its hard to know which direction you are heading in... which I guess is part of the challenge, so that might just be my lack of skill. ANYWAY, great job. I'm going to try to finish it later.

Man I've got a smile on my face from that game! I really enjoyed it. The audio is just right to be a signal that you've gone the wrong way and not be annoying at the same time. I enjoyed that the sounds were "spoken" in the levels as well. In fact I started thinking those words when I crashed into the appropriate walls.

I'm not sure what I would change. I did think a clear goal to go towards... but in hindsight I actually think it's better without that.

I also loved the end XD

I like this game :)

The idea of having multiple sets of walls that each flash momentarily when you hit then is really neat.

Very nice ^_^

Nice take on a simple maze game :)

This is a really cool idea. It's a good brain-teaser because it requires you to keep a lot "loaded" in your brain at once to navigate through the mazes. I like the sound and color as well. Very nice

Interesting concept, though some of the more complicated levels could be a bit frustrating. Generally good game for the short development time.

Very nice!
I like the concept. One of the later levels, the maze with single block tiles is nasty ;)

Great concept! One level was so hard it seemed impossible to find the exit, and so I just bumped around hoping to hit walls. It's interesting because even though you'd rather not run into obstacles, they're your only friends. The occasional wide-open space is pretty disconcerting. Nice work!

Brilliant! Love the interpretation of the theme. Nicely done.

My only minor niggle is that I personally found the sound the walls made to be a little bit too intense and grating (for a sound that you're hearing that often). Would have been nice if it were a little more mellow and understated.

Clever idea, and well done! I think adding a tiny bit of momentum to the "player" would make the controls feel a bit nicer though.

And that sound is definitely from an old version of FL Studio, no?
