intresting idea combining idle game with a maze, i think could have been a lot better with more upgrades and features!

I liked the base concept and it was cleanly executed. Another goal for the game could be to include a timer, so you try to end with the most money, thus having to balance difficulty of the mazes with the reward offered.

I really liked the idea. Like @Andreadbx I also think there should be more upgrades (Not really sure what kind of)

My game is also a maze game, you should check it out: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/ragerint

My next planned upgrade was an auto-solver -- either breadth-first or depth-first, depending on which tended to perform worse. Then the other, then A*.

Also, auto-step speed upgrades.

Its a unique game.

good game!

I love the idea! Maze games are things I like, and one of the first thing I did when I learned programming on my calculator was a maze game. Your game reminds me of the good time I had programming it and playing with classmates!

Simple and beautiful, and unique concept!

I love a bit of personal maze time, as it grows so does the challenge. Simple idea made well. I think it would benefit from being sexed up a bit.

Interesting idea. Maybe add enemies to complicate passing

very cool and original idea. does the prize changes accordingly to how many steps you make to resolve the maze?

ed-b 2018-05-01 18:45

@p-r Currently, reward = (width - 1) * (height - 1)

Very unique idea. I love incremental games, and this was a fun idea. I would love to see a post LD version with graphics and more things to do. Good job!

Good idea, and good game !

really nice idea - would have like to have a penalty for each move so that you plan your route better. Overall great game

An super interesting idea, and the game is fun to play. The mazes could have been generate more interesting, and even the big mazes is often way to easy to solve. Overall a good LD game. Well done.
