Maze of Torment is a game about escaping Hell no matter what the devil throws at you. The bar at the top is your life and it ticks down slowly, reach the gates before that happens. Every ten seconds the devil covers his maze of tricks in darkness and after that darkness comes ten seconds of light. You can call back the light at your will but at the cost of life.
Controls
Use the arrow keys to move Space bar to call back the light
Tips: -Learn from your mistakes and approach the level differently -You can trick the enemies and trap them if you're quick -Use your light calls wisely. -Collect hourglasses to get more life.
Wait, there were light calls? =) Enjoyed this game, something of a trial-and-error experience, but nicely atmospheric graphics add to the experience. With some more work I think you could have something here!
Those bats scared me the first time! I like the idea of turning of the lights in between. It adds to the experience of survival. Those big red demons were so hard to get by!
Overall, its a good start for a game. It needs more mechanics and features for it to be a complete one. :)
Great idea with the sacrificing health for light. Sounds were scary as...hell, the first few times. I'm not sure the time pickups actually worked, fortunately I didn't seem to need them.
This is a lot better than I expected! The sudden onset of darkness is genuinely terrifying, and the giant devils worked really well for the game. Despite the bare-bone graphics, everything just felt right and it was very easy to like this game. Great work!!
Nice game, it has a good potential, it's a bit too hard and sometimes buggy, better graphics will also make it cooler.. I really like the concept of the light (quite reminding of my game :) )
The graphics could use more polish (at least a death animation would be appropriate). However, I like the audio. This isn't the first game I've seen in this LD with the "maze with a limited period of light" scenario, but it's still a good idea, and the gameplay is good: right amount of challenge, right length.
The big demons got an "oh shit!" reaction from me, which I'm sure was your intention.

Also, the Devil's dialogue was pretty funny.
