These endless mazes and maddening sounds create an amazing atmosphere of hopelessness. Great job!

Great sound design and ambience! I dont wanna talk about how long it took me to find the green button, and then my way back to the green door xD

Nice atmosphere! It's pretty hard not to get lost haha, but very fun to explore these maze with the ominous music.

@zichemerr @pixel-cactus @patatje @telo-philippe Thank you all for the comments! I'm glad the mazes are frustrating but at least not impossible :) I seem to always make games that are harder than I think they are.

Lovely game. I have two things to add: try to use consistent pixel size for all the elements and the player moves so so fast. Other than that: Good job!

The maze itself was pretty solid. The character feels a bit hard to control in terms of the speed relative to the layout. It was nice being able to move fast because it made it easier to get around places but it felt a bit hard to control at times. Being able to leave marks on something in the level might be nice for letting players track some aspect of where they've been so far. The music gives an impression of horror type vibes but the character and sound effects are a bit more cartoony. I did manage to find everything and it did feel satisfying so overall nice job!

@meskaline @keely-brown Thank you! I can definitely see that the player is a bit too fast. It was a hard balance of wanting players to not feel like they were spending forever just trying to get around and still be easily playable.

@keely-brown I did have two eye ball's in the wall at two particular points to kinda give some indication of where you were but I think in hindsight they are a bit hard to see unless you are close to the wall. Maybe different colored walls as you go further down in the future would be better. :D
