Lol. This is a funny joke!

I can't see a blue dot or a green dot - running at 1920x1080

Unfortunately, this game is just too much for my pathetic screen resolution. Looked cool though

Eyestrain: The Game

Very cool looking maze algorithm. I made the game run in 1024 x 768 to see what it looks like. I don't know if I would ever get to the end even if I could see the whole map, but with the save feature it would be fun to do it over a long period of time like doing a huge jigsaw puzzle.

I don't have windows, but rated you highly based on the concept, instruction screen, and name alone. Squint Maze... genius.

You're a filthy bastard... My eyes are burnt from getting close to the screen...

Thank goodness for 1920x1080! Well done!

PC won't support that resolution... missing out...

Full res, this game is very brave! :) hurt my eyes but I gave it a go. Love the audio!

You probably are trying to win in humor category :). And theme interpretation is really creative (and funny) in this one.

My eyes! My eyes!!

I cannot imagine how long it would take to actually finish this, hahaha.

catwheel 2014-12-08 21:13

This game intimidates me :(

superpokeunicorn 2014-12-08 22:57

Can't figure out where the player starts. The game gets great marks regardless. Love the concept and a hilarious use of theme.

This makes me nauseous, and I'm just watching the Youtube video. I can only imagine what actually playing this would do to me. A game that causes a physical effect? Five stars all around!

oskardevelopment 2014-12-09 06:17

Cool concept. Great music, though the game is a bit hard for the eyes. Thanks for the game and Merry Christmas!

And you say our game is more frustrating than challanging :D how long did you actually play this till now? Did you think you're getting better with the time? :D

xaedes 2014-12-09 14:58

I dont like to play mazes and my resolution is too low.
But the idea is hilarious! Also it's a nice interpretation of the theme.

samm 2014-12-11 06:24

Haha, it hurts to even look at this game. Well done!

donovanwu 2014-12-11 06:43

OMG, this game is a great joke in many ways! The idea alone worth a gold medal! Also, the background music is mood-soothing.

huntthewumpus 2014-12-14 16:38

Next time: 4k resolution and all walls/dots are only 1 pixel in size :D

MY EYES

Such kind of humor I don't understand)

kaa 2014-12-17 10:06

Nice joke. In high res maze looks great! What algorithm did you use to create this maze? Eller's? We used Hunt&Kill for our game

jaymfernandes 2014-12-18 00:19

Ha, good joke. Definitely better on higher res monitors.

igoramendola 2014-12-18 01:41

Ohhh, interesting implementation of the theme and I liked the challenge! Hahaha
Although it is graphically simple, aesthetically looks great. But sometimes the blinking effect of the blue dot confuses me :P
Also, it has nice audios and the autosave it's a good feature. Nice entry ^^

Jeremias 2014-12-24 14:06

Actually tried it, but my eyes start hurting xD nice joke anyway.
