A very nice and complete game! Sometimes I got stuck in walls, which is imo the biggest problem. It would be nice to be able to move a little faster. I found the graphics appealing, though the 3D shadows on the walls are not visually intuitive, and I miss explosions/blood. On the screenshots I see some kind of shading or lighting which I never saw in the actual game, is that normal?
Oh, yes, sorry I didn't explain that in the submissions post - the light-dark shading on the tiles in two of the screenshots is actually a debugging mode that visualizes the diffusion map the AI uses to navigate the maze.
Thanks for playing, and for the feedback!
Not a bad little game once I figured out what I was doing.
How many upgrades are there? I kept dying.
6 weapon upgrades (and 5 enemy types). There are definitely some balance issues, I am hard pressed to make it even to the second-to-last upgrade.
Good job!
The enemies are excellent maze solvers. But there are so many of them!
I often felt like the head of a snake game, with a evergrowing tail of enemies.
