[raw]
made by ffs2309 for LD 39 (JAM)

IMPORTANT

If the game crashes for you on a 64 bit operating system make sure you have java 64 bit otherwise the game will crash!

Description

You are in a Maze. Also the light goes darker over time so at one point you won't be able to see anything so you are stuck in the maze and have to try again.!

Interesting idea and fits well with the theme of running out of power. But I found myself wondering what my goal was in the game. Was I just trying to find the exit, was there one? I often found myself wandering around back to the starting location. Maybe some variation in wall textures could help in detecting if you are in a new location or back at the begging.

Nice entry.

There actually is an exit. Your main goal is to reach it without running out of power basically.

I manage to beat your maze. Cool game concept, but I think the rate which the power drain is too low. I never went below 80. Which is a bummer, I wanted to see how dark it could get. But great game concept. Simple and fun.

Also, I'm a fan of the shading.

I got out of the maze, and I had a lot of fun playing this. Unfortunately, i believe that the power drains to slow because my power was always quite high. The concept for it getting darker is a really cool idea. Good Job.

It took me some time to get out of this maze, but here I am!

As mention before, the power decreases too slowly, I would have chosen about 3-4 seconds instead of 5, there's no pressure. Even though, the color change that come with the decrease is nice! When I was in the reddish hue it was harder to see so it added some difficulty.
I don't know if there was more colors below 80% but if there was it's good.

Graphics and audio are good too!

Thank you all for the feedback. I found it quite hard to really get the right difficulty as I wasn't sure how wide the gap between individuals are in terms of finding their way through the maze, so I decided to make it easier in case people weren't able to find their way around easily. Also I'm quite surprised by the positive reactions I've got already.
