My little game, finished at last... There are 7 main levels, then Harder repeats with no control hints showing and maps inverted.
Only keys used are WASD and R, only R is useable all the time - to reload current level.
Besides the excellent Unity, I also used: 2D toolkit, PaintShop Pro X3, Audacity, Visual Studio C# 2010 Express, FileZilla, HydraIRC, SFXR, erm... Notepad. I adlibbed the piano myself for the Death music.
Source does NOT include tk2d itself, nor Unity standard assets folder.
I have only tested Windows, and Web on Chrome and IE. Thanks to Limb_Clock for testing on OS/X! If it doesn't work for you please let me know [email protected] and I'll do what I can, any error messages or screenshots/descriptions of problems appreciated.
If you enjoy it please let me know.
Thanks for the fun weekend! MrExcessive

While the graphics are a little silly, looking, this is a pretty neat maze idea. The fact that your ability to move a direction can get taken away again adds to the depth. It's kind of unpolished, and short, but it's definitely creative.
Nice concept! It took me a while to understand what was going on, but then it grew on me as I figured out how to move around. Specifically, I had a hard time understanding the idea behind storing up key actions, and it still isn't clear to me what makes them disappear, which makes planning a strategy harder. Trial and error worked pretty well though, and I enjoyed the experience. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for all the nice comments. @Dir3kt I may Jam next time for this very reason... My artistic abilities are placed near last in any group... Sound design I believe could have been better with 2 hours more. Main thing I missed on was more levels... Should have put some more simpler ones after lv4 and then more complex ones at the end.
Is that a "render cliouds" in the background? I enjoyed having to work with what controls are taken away. Good take on the theme. I can't say anything bad.
@avidgamerNino Background is a plane being looked at by a "3D" camera, separate to the 2D one doing the plane. Used GIMP to create clouds and then tile. Small script rotates the background plane slowly back and forth independently of all else - I added this fairly early on and never had time to put something more interesting!
Nice little puzzle game. The idea is interesting, although I think some explanation of the core mechanics would be nice, even though you can understand everything that's going on after just 2 levels.
It lacks a certain punch, though; some more "daring" level design. And it certainly would benefit from a post-compo redesign on the visual side. But, all in all, the important thing is there: the core idea and game mechanics.

With better graphics and audio it could have been a real contender!

Keep it up! :)
