Ready to be aMAZEd?

How hard are the mazes? In this game, it is for you to decide - build as easy/hard maze as you want! But beware: too easy maze and your score might be negative; too hard maze and might run out of bombs to fight your way through the end.


aMAZE v2 is here

Better wall generation: walls are not just at some random places anymore, mazes now look like real mazes.

The mazes are now smaller, but the paths to the end should be more convoluted than before (and you have fewer bombs now). This means the end scores should be significantly lower than in v1 of the game.

Can you score more than 1000 700 points? Share a screenshot of your best result.


Gameplay

The game consists of two parts:

  1. Create a maze (press SPACE to stop wall generation).
  2. Navigate (arrows or WASD) through the created maze, from top-left to bottom-right. Collect gold for some nice bonus; if you're stuck, drop a bomb (SPACE) to clear the way; rush to finish.

If you want, you can play the same maze multiple times, trying to improve your score:

  • Is it better to drop a bomb or to go around an obstacle?
  • Should I go pick up this distant gold or just rush to the finish line?
  • Can I find a better path?

About

This is my first game ever written.

It is written in Clojure(Script), using Quil library.

The source code is available in my GitHub repo, and you can also play it here.

Managed to break the 1300 barrier, fun game to optimize!

...and now I released a version 2 of the game, with an improved wall-generation algorithm and a slightly smaller maze size, making possible scores significantly lower — your 1301 will remain as the highest score ever :)

But maybe you can set the record for the v2 too? Let me know how you like the new version....

very fun! enjoy the resource management of bombs and the path recap at the end



good job! interesting concept

Quite a lucky run

As far as I know, this is a new all-time-high! Congrats!

Before you it was 1271, then 1259 and 1219.
