I liked the art!

I feel like a mouse in a labyrinth :-) Interesting concept, I like it. The yellow cheese graphics color could differ a bit more from the background color, but that's the only issue I had when playing the game.

@tomdeal thank you for your feedback. Yeah, I see, I didn't write about it in my prologue, but I was in panic, when I didn't find any program for edit infinite tilemap, soo I created a temporary tile for labyrinth tile for that. Unfortunatelly it's the finally tile, too. :D

I'm not sure if i understand the whole idea, but it's pretty interesting concept)

Reading the story, I think you tried to bite off a bit more than you (or anyone) could chew in 48 hours (I try to aim low, and then still rarely manage to do everything I want to).

It's an interesting game though. I like puzzles so I certainly didn't mind having to find my way through mazes. Might have been more interesting if there were more mechanics (like locked doors you need to find keys for, for example) but I understand you probably ran out of time.

So I'll say what I say on a lot of games (which is good for both you personally and LD in general if so many people are turning out games that meet this kind of quality standard): it's a good start, could be great with a bit more tweaking, could be excellent if you wanted to put more time in and develop it further.

Hey man, I just want to say - you shouldn't put a description of the troubles you had on your game entry page - it makes it look like you are apologising for how bad your game is, and let me tell you I have played games that are much worse than your entry in this jam, I played much worse games in every jam so far, and i will play games that are much worse in every future jam I enter.

If you want to get it off your chest, do a blogpost - everyone doing the compo knows how tough it is to get things done in time, and everyone doing a compo entry knows about having to lose features for time, but the people playing the game will never know what features you wanted but couldnt get.

you should be proud of what you have made - it might not be the best, but its not the worst, and at the end of the day... you made something! By yourself! Thats a good thing! Don't apologise for it!

I like the style and the feel of the game, but I don't understand what the goal is - what do the K and P buttons do?
