Mouse controls, or...an on screen joystick?...or mostly square mazes would definitely help. Still the generated mazes themselves look really cool, and the color scheme is simple but it works, and nice use of the theme!"},{"author_name":"FaeDine","author_uid":"40116","time":"Apr 22, 2016 @ 3:09am","epoch":1461294240,"text":"I think tweaking the level generation so it's less likely to get unwinnable levels (I had to regenerate a lot of levels 2 or 3 times).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Mouse movement may have helped as the levels had some weird angles. I played it for a few minutes and got to about 12 sides. It looks like more interesting patterns emerge later on though. Bigger increments (instead of 6, 7, 8, 9.. 6, 8, 11, 15, etc.) may have made it a bit more interesting earlier.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Cool submission."},{"author_name":"Firephoenix","author_uid":"52586","time":"Apr 25, 2016 @ 2:09am","epoch":1461549840,"text":"I tried to make mouse controls, but for some weird reason the code just wouldn't work, so I ended up having to use the keyboard.

I had fun finding the correct route through the maze, but then actually getting there was a pain when moving diagonally,  i had to start over a dozen times.
