At first I was like &quot;well I'll just spam the echo&quot; then quickly realized there's a limit (which makes sense to make it challenging). The game's only sound effect quickly grew tiresom. I think you could've easily incorporated sound into your game a lot more. Maybe everytime you sent out a ping, when it reached the exit, the exit would &quot;resonate&quot; with an intensity of how close you were. This would give you something a little more to go on rather than wandering around in a void. Also, maybe leaving what you've already explored colored in dimly with the black\/white wireframe, but color things hit by the pulse in with a little more detail that fades as the pulse fades. Music would've been cool, too. Of course, I realize all of this is a little unreasonable for a 48hr compo, but it's just stuff to think about.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Other than that, pretty cool for what it is.
