Chaos Theory by marrs

[raw]
made by marrs for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

The aim of the game is to escape. Each level has a goal which will reveal itself if you're close enough. Beat the timer and reach the exit. You will soon find out that these levels are no ordinary mazes though, as the title of the game might hint at.

I didn't have any audio, besides that it's a tricky maze!

I'm sorry by I don't really get it. Essentially, you just extremely slowly go through a maze by trial and error. The maze sometimes can change, but I don't think it contributes much of anything.

Hello @gasgiant I think you do get it. It is a maze game. The aim is to find your way out before the timer reaches zero and the maze does indeed change when you find certain keys. I'm always open to suggestions. Do you have ideas on how to make this a better game?

this was a fun interesting take on the theme, although I felt like maybe the mechanics didn't fit with the scrolling view very well and it might have worked better with a fixed view port. That would have given better intuition of how the maze changed and which areas you'd already explored. I found with the scrolling view it was easy to get lost and repeatedly visit the same area.

I like the animation on the player, would never thought to just rotate them on movement, and it looks very smooth.

Fun factor is not high at this game, but maybe next time you will think more about that and it will be better. You art is not good, sorry. How this game into the theme I dont see that ? Sorry. Inovative and good gameplay for me. Mood of the game is very good and it is fitting. Overall that game is good, good job.
