I liked this a lot! Especially after finishing the jam it was nice to sit and play something that was self explanatory, low pressure, and just the right amount of challenging.
The way you guys fit your game with the theme with your little story and the scenario made me laugh, being stuck HAVING to carry a bucket in the pouring rain and all is just funny to me.
I reloaded the game a couple of times and was surprised to see a new maze every time. I've tried programming randomly generated mazes before and just... no thanks!
Wanted to add in from the conversation we had on stream while I was playing it, for your first game, and game jam, I was really impressed. Maze generation being random like that was done nicely. Hope to see more stuff from you guys in the future
This game is chill and enjoyable. Well done! Random maze generation is cool stuff. Props to you guys for creating an awesome game! I also very much enjoy the music.
This game is very relaxing and enjoyable to play. It was a little amusing thinking that a bucket with save your whole family. Anyways if your ever planning to work on this game there is a bit of house-keeping, the game is great at its playable state but i feel that there is something missing. I believe polishing the game will remove the 'missing' feel. Adding things such as particles or editing the movement to make it feel a lot nicer. Here is a video demonstrating polish on Breakout like game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg
Another small thing is that the player sort of catches itself when you hit the edge/corner of the hedge, this is unsatisfying. Try smoothing out the corners on the player collider. I'll stop rambling about, all in all, this is a great Ludum Dare game it has a good scope and is a massive achievement. Congratulations! :smile:
Sorry, can't let a quality review, don't have enough time, just want to help to get out of danger zone. Overall i think game is good, keep going. Happy Holidays.
The game idea was okay, and the story was good. The best part of the game was the music. For me the maze level design was too simple. But overall a fine LD game.

Nice job!
