Normally I don't really like maze games. But this one is very well done. Could use some sound and music to make it more atmospheric. Good job :)

I agree with Jhelle; I usually am not a fan of maze-based games. This, however, is an interesting twist on the usual concept. I like this a lot.

olafurw 2013-08-26 02:32

Nice one man!

xrm0 2013-08-26 12:29

I like it.
I don't know if it was done on purpose, but when bumping against monsters, you only lose when facing directly to them. In other cases, it's safe to touch a monster.

Interesting idea, the main challenge is definitely trying to get by the enemies without running out of ammo. Might have been interesting if your ammo count carried over but there were also ammo pickups in the levels

rzfmzn 2013-08-26 12:58

Nice :D

m110 2013-08-26 13:01

That's kinda unusual idea, liked it.

2013-08-26 13:09

I love it :) It is fun and nerveracking at the same time. Loved the ending and knowing that since i died i now became one of the zombies.

Nice game! Fun and a nice twist on the usual maze games. Some audio, even basic music would have helped but otherwise quite nice!

ghostik 2013-08-26 14:20

I missed audio.. but really great concept though!

falconstar 2013-08-26 14:21

Awesome game. The fact that the camera turns with you made it a bit disorienting, which is a good thing since it made the maze much more difficult. Also, I liked the dark twist with the zombies. :P

gikdew 2013-08-26 15:20

awesome, i really enjoy my gameplay and the mood of this game!

gikdew 2013-08-26 15:20

BTW, awesome lighting...

ultravisitor 2013-08-26 15:22

I like how the purple doods ask for help and then they don't help you. At first I didn't realize I could shoot them. I had a lot of fun trying to get away from them only to be herded into my untimely demise.

skarab 2013-08-26 15:25

Cool stuff man!

greenyuk 2013-08-26 15:26

Pretty solid game but not too challenging. Maybe you only had 10 seconds of light to plan your rout then you were in darkness; just my opinion, but yeah pretty cool game. knocked out a few levels.

impiaaa 2013-08-26 17:55

Could we have a Linux download? The Unity web player doesn't have a linux version.

autlos 2013-08-26 17:58

Good & fun game, I like how you implemented the time restrictions.

BUT, I miss some sound effects and music, you should have work a bit more on the camera (it's a bit uncomfortable)

krides 2013-08-26 17:59

This is pretty cool. The zombies made me laugh, and I usually don't like zombies. As someone has already pointed out, the camera is disorienting, but it's not necessarily a bad thing.

spiralcodestudio 2013-08-26 18:16

Nice maze game! A little creepy.

urth 2013-08-26 18:18

The max I got was around 7.
Nice game but too hard. Limited ammo limited time. Too many zombies with 3 hit health like you and you only have 9 bullets. So if you face more than 3 zombies you are dead. The player should be able to replay the level instead of starting from maze 1.
I wish I reached the ending.

latency 2013-08-26 18:27

Simple, but very fun, good job

mutuware 2013-08-26 18:36

I liked the idea and the lighting.

ratalaika 2013-08-26 19:22

I like it! Nice work :)

beardbotnik 2013-08-26 19:23

Great job, the mood was interesting and the gameplay was simple and smooth. A little music would have gone a long way, maybe even just some footsteps or a blaster sound. Either way, awesome work!

matthias_zarzecki 2013-08-26 19:38

Nice work with the light! The voices trying to distract you are great :)

flamecow 2013-08-26 20:23

A really well made maze-game that fits with the theme. Awesome.

frankbsad 2013-08-27 00:42

very fun.

evilentity 2013-08-27 12:46

Pretty cool.

xgor 2013-08-27 14:23

Pretty good twist on maze games, I think the darkness could be darker because I could still see where I should go sometimes.
Also would be amazing if you had voiced them instead of giving them text, would add soo much to the atmosphere

esayitch 2013-08-27 17:50

Liked this! I think it could benefit a lot if you would add some creepy music ^^ Otherwise nice usage of the theme, and good luck!

cmdbrewsky 2013-08-27 18:37

Nice idea. I like the concept and its interesting to play. With music it would be much better.

tobiasw 2013-08-27 19:34

I came because your game has nearly the same name as mine and I stayed because of the gameplay. Sweet - maze games usually aren't my cup of tea, but combined with the light mechanic, a minimalistic but compelling plot and all the nice little touches like the monsters speaking made this quite fun to play. Good job - and congratulations on finishing your first LD entry!

PS: After playing I realised that the similarity to my game doesn't end at the name - there's another thing actually :D

zlowrance 2013-08-28 15:32

Fun game. Very cool idea. Great job :D

nerlin 2013-08-28 20:43

Interesting game with simple idea. Great job.

edocentrique 2013-08-29 18:05

Good to play !

finnegan2100 2013-09-01 04:34

Hey, this game was pretty good! Liked the fact that the levels were randomly generated.

sengi 2013-09-01 08:59

good levels! Great mood and theme! Thank you!

mrspeaker 2013-09-02 15:48

Very cool - my favourite Unity entry so far!

antidote 2013-09-09 20:08

My first impression on your game - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QI3piDmw0U

mekuri 2013-09-15 05:12

A very nice idea. I really liked how the ten seconds were more of a positive thing (at least to some extend). Very nice game. I missed some sound and music though.

paperblurt 2013-09-15 16:35

ossi 2013-09-16 22:16

Very cool use of the theme. It gets pretty challenging too! Nicely done!
