Maze Runner by mimusangel
Maze Runner is a simple game, where you need to run, through a maze.

Your goal is to reach points of interest indicated on the map to be teleported in a newly generated maze. Every ten seconds, if you fail to reach a point of interest, you'll be teleported right back at the beginning of a newly generated maze anyway and a 'life' will be deducted. You have six lives at your disposal. Have fun !
Controls
- wasd to move
- space to jump
- right clic to speed boost

It's funny, we have the same name of game but totally different implementation.
Good job!
It's also a potential game with some further expansions to be an excellent game, such as items, entities. You can even add some hidden elements to expose an insteresting background story.
I really like it!
I like the idea and controls (especially boost on the RMB, it feels very natural to use), but I must say that I almost didn't look at the graphics. Most of the time I looked om the map, because it was easy to navigate through maze.
Good game!
Graphics looked nice, and the controls felt good as well, overall a good game! -Peter
Great job!
By the way it helps a little if you take a look at maze map before the sprint and then run to the checkpoint using your memory
About Maze Runner, I played a couple times and could get more than 1200 points. I was about to leave my comment and then I saw a screenshot of the game in this post and I notice there is a mini map!!, it's crazy but I literally didn't see the minimap on my first attempt, I think it's because the game is very frenetic.
So I tried it again and I got more than 10000 points, using the mini map I could reach several extraction points.
I like the 3d models and the music was simple but nice.
Great job with the procedurally maze algorithm!
I discovered that you can cheat when there are 2 barrels stacked on top of each other and climb them to go over the wall ! But this is rarely saving time as they have to be placed on the right spot and by the time you figure it out the 10 seconds are past.
I managed to beat the devs, can you guys beat me back ? :D

The basics are there, we just have to add more functions.
But be careful with the generation of the maze, sometimes the path is totally impossible to do in time and even with the boost speed.

I liked the addition of settings.
