I like how the maze is both dark and ever-changing, it really keeps you on your toes.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Think I found a bug though: Items seem to carry over when you start a new game. Unlocked the speed boost, died, started another solo game and I still had turbo speed without buying the item."},{"author_name":"Tinimations","author_uid":"46347","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 1:14pm","epoch":1418044140,"text":"Will admit I didn't really get it.

Only one can have each power up. Collect coins in the maze, shot your foe or collide with it!\r\n\r\nThe game was made in (more or less) 20 hours from idea to this post.\r\n\r\nI placed some music in it. BUT there is a version without music since the music was downloaded from FMA. I made a web version where there is no music for compo purposes. If I did everything correctly, the embedded version below is the CORRECT one (for compo sake).   \r\n\r\nTimelapse of some of my work is here: http:\/\/youtu.be\/kAH6MH1iAMU\r\nCompo web version (for some reason the game does not fit the window) \r\nhttp:\/\/www.shoyugames.com.br\/Jogos\/LD31\/NoMusic\r\n\r\n\r\nMy Brand is Shoyu Games. Shoyu is in one of the pictures below, he is addopted and is \"brandless\" (street dog) so I give this little guy a home and a brand :P :) \r\n\r\nMy aim is educational games, I just love making games for kids (specially my daughter hehe) :)\r\n\r\n\r\nKnown Problems (to be fixed in a postCompo Version)\r\n* there is a huge lag when you fire your first shot (only the first one) (for some reason, don`t know why, sometimes it does not happen :\/ )\r\n* I did not make the music, so use the one without it to vote!\r\n* My AI sucks, bad. Yes, I lied up there. I tried, a lot, but my programming skills did not help me solve this riddle. Depending on how well the game goes in the compo I will ask a good friend for some help developing a better AI.  ","title":"EverChangingMaze"}
