Hey, I was kinda lost in the maze and didn't really get what is my objective. However I like the asthetic and how you blend 3D and 2D sprites.

I don't think the sand fill-up and the mechanic of barring doors really worked out. I was able to win the game without barring any doors, simply because I sprinted through the rooms fast enough.

Maybe it was because I didn't bother with the doors, but I feel like the game could use a bit of depth, more things to do - maybe some puzzles - to keep it more interesting.

That said, I really like the graphics and the overall style. The game also feels very polished. Also thanks for adding controller support :slight_smile:
