The graphics and opening text is nice. But the game always blacks out on my browser (chrome).

I think this is a really neat concept! Having to manually start the game by adding the first person helps me get a grip of the controls too. My first game, the pregenerated maze was unsolvable (though your algorithm for making sure no one is trapped permanently is good at the add/remove walls level), so maybe I got (un)lucky.

Great work!

@dg Glad you enjoyed it.

@cirno That's odd. I tested on chrome and it worked fine for me.

@sayumeki There is a low chance that the algorithm generates an unsolvable maze. You were just unlucky. There's also a low chance that it generates a straight path down the middle with no branches. I ran into both cases during testnig so I was aware of them, but there wasn't enough time or reasons to fix it. Thanks for playing :)

It was not clear which shrubs I could add or remove, but I was happy to see that my maze dwellers were unhappy!
