You play a monster that survives on energy orbs. Without these orbs you will stop emitting light and die. The goal of the game is to collect all the energy orbs without dying.
You also have to watch out for the humans. They think you are a dangerous monster and they will come after you and try to kill you when they see you.
The maze is generated randomly every time you play. In the menu you will be able to change the default settings and choose the size of the maze, your speed, the speed of the humans, ... But even without changing any settings each time the maze will be completely different.
To move use WASD or QZSD or the arrow keys.
The game was written in c++ with SFML and TGUI, the graphics were created with GIMP and the few sound effects were generated with sfxr.
Overall, pretty good. I like the replayability of the game, and that each map is completely random. It just feels a little bit empty. Maybe adding different types of guard, possibly a conveyor belt-type tile, anything to spice it up a bit more. It's really fun, but only for 10 or so minutes.
I really liked the light mechanic. Some form of indication on where the energy orbs are would've nice i think because it feels a bit disappointing if you just wander around trying to find an energy orb to survive.
Good game, sadly it closed itself at some point. It's like a new Pacman where you don't see the whole map. I liked it, but the maze itself looks a but empty.
As an AZERTY keyboard user, I'm really grateful for QZSD mode, as it doesn't force me to switch keyboard layout settings. The game was quite intuitive. Really liked the fact that your levels are procedurally generated.
I liked the fact you could customize the settings in the beginning, would've loved if there was a scoring system, maybe something that integrated with the settings I've selected?
nice little compo entry, may there are only a few features, they work solid. i suppose implementing the map generator has taken your time. I'd welcome some mechanic to counter the humans
Sweet game! It's almost like a reverse Pac-Man, with you being the ghost instead. The level customization adds TONS of replayability. Really cool stuff!

Quite fun
@Juin There is an arrow in the top left corner pointing to the closest orb.

Feels a bit like pacman, and the customisable options are nice.
