Ethan, our protagonist, finds himself in a strange place.  He's not sure how he got there.  He also finds out that he's not alone.  He hears a disembodied voice who tells him he's there to go through a maze.  Why?  Well, it's fun for her.

What else will happen?  Well, you'll just have to play to find out.

Note: The graphics have been bumped back up to GLES3.  Things run a little slow, though, like the ants showing up to take you to the next section.

Alright! Took me more than a year to get this one edited but it's finally here! 

Now, to just state this before anything, I did have fun playing. We did go a little hard on the game but in the end, our ranting/criticizing made the experience more entertaining.

Thank you for letting me voice your game and I can't wait to see what you make next. I would gladly play it on the channel.

Hi Nicktonyous,

Thanks for the video and for voicing a character in my game.  I'm glad to hear you can't wait to see what I make next and that you'd gladly play it on the channel.  Right now, my focus is on 2 ARGs I'm making.  One of them (Creature Collection) was relaunched and does have to do with a video game (that I made for it).  The thing is, though, the game was made specifically for the ARG.

Hi Danielle,

Loved the Game, the puzzles are a lot of fun and would 100% play a longer game of yours.

Cheers 

Ballzy

 

Hi Ballzy Gaming,

I'm glad to hear you loved the game and thought the puzzles were a lot of fun.  

Hi Danielle, Sorry I just now got around to doing the video I had stuff come up in life! I touched on this in the end but your puzzle with the numbers is was a little hard cause the colors were hard to match a bit, but all in all it was a great game!

I can't wait for the next game you make!

Hello DataSlum,

Thank you for playing my game and for the gameplay video.  I'm glad you liked my game.  Also, it's ok.  At least you got to my game when you could.  In regards to my puzzle with the numbers, I'm sorry it was a little hard to match the colors.  I'm not totally sure what would be the best way to fix that.  Maybe some more lighting in those areas?  Maybe making the block colors darker or something?

I was thinking like the blocks could have stripes or dots for some  because the colors were really similar like I couldn't really tell one green that much apart from the the other green, so I just guessed which one was which on the door I was just lucky to get it first try.

Ok, that makes sense.  I can definately add some kind of texture to differentiate the different color shades.

Hi DataSlum,


I went and updated several of the blocks with textures, so it should be much easier to match things up.   

Its really awesome your take critiques on the game and update them if needed! :)

hi! I’ve tried making a video on the game and I got as far as the password but everything I’ve put in doesn’t work and the videos I watched don’t show the it. Feel free to reach out with any pointers.

Hello GamerGirl19.

For the password, you need to go to the different math equations and solve each one.  Once that's done, they need to be put in order.  So, for example, if there's a blue colored equation you would go and look at the door to see where the blue square is and that would be where that number would go.  The equation answers aren't added together or anything.  It's just the equation answers, in the order of the colors of the blocks on the door.

If you're still not able to continue on, let me know and I'll give you the password.  Also, if you'd prefer, there is an option to skip ahead using Enter.

Here's my video. Sorry it took so long to get to.

It's ok.  Thank you for the game play video.

Hi Danielle , After playing your game, i can honestly tell you that it was very different. I had fun commentating on it for sure because it was so very unique. Although, the game is VERY rough around the edges. I had alot of bugs while playing and it just seems like it was made really quick ? Hopefully the feedback you're given makes you want to make bigger and better games ! 

Here is my video , thanks for reaching out and i reach you guys the best <3

Hello MrDreaming,

Thank you for playing my game and for the game play video.  I'm glad to hear you had fun commenting on my game.  I apologize for the bugs, though.  There had been a couple of bugs that had come to my attention before this, one where the mouse went off the screen and another where the riddle area wasn't skippable,  as well as an issue with the ants, which I fixed.  In regards to the bug where it didn't let you go back into the password area, I'm not sure why that happened.  I'll have to look into it.

In regards to how quickly the game was made, it was started in December 27th of last year.  I was working on it in between other projects.   When I put my game on itchio, I had thought it was ready.  The thing is, though, even with how much I've gone over things when I make my games, I don't always know if there's an issue until someone mentions they ran into a bug/s.

Oh, but I do want to mention I have another game that's more polished.  I don't know if you're interested in a 2D game, but it's called The Creature's Game and there's 9 endings.  If you're interested in checking it out, you can find it at  https://danielles-games.itch.io/the-creatures-game  Oh and if you're interested in playing it, let me know and I'll send you a download key.

I've made a play through of your game in my 3 scary games video. I like it alot! Good soundtrack and creepy vibes! My recording software unfortunately crashed a few minutes into the maze part, but i picked it back up again at the quiz part. 

Hello RaincloudDan,

Thank you for playing my game and for the game play video.  I'm glad you like my game a lot, liked the soundtrack and that it gave you creepy vibes.  I'm sorry you ran into an issue with your recording software, but I'm glad you picked it up again.

You messaged me on YouTube and just wanted to say Hello!  I found the game!  I’ll give it a play through asap!

Hello IGT100,

Thank you for letting me know and I'm glad to hear it.
