Show HN: My Labyrinth Video Game

1 pointfelipemnoa2 comments

Hello All, I'm currently working on a very simple video game that I'm planning to release on the Android Play Store. The purpose of the game is to complete a labyrinth before time runs out. There will be around 50 labyrinths. The link [1] below has a video of the game play. As you can see it is still very rough but I think that the game mechanics are pretty much all set.

It has taken me a lot longer than expected (9 months so far) to complete this because I decided to go the crazy route and create everything from scratch. I even created a level editor so that it would be easier to create each labyrinth. I may show a video of the level editor if there is any interest on this game.

I'm currently going to spend the rest of my time polishing it as much as I can and creating new levels.

Any feedback is appreciated.

you might wanna test if anybody is interested in playing 3d-labirinths before you create 50 of them... It could be fun if I race faster of course - what about having special items to be able to zoom out and take a peek at the whole map?

The labyrinths are not that difficult to create actually. The hard part was creating a level editor. Now that the level editor is done it is relatively easy to create the labyrinths. You are right, I have no idea if anybody will be interested in a game like this. I imagine there are people that like these types of games so I'm counting on that. It is a gamble. Worse case scenario I will be able to reuse a lot of the work for my next game, especially the level editor.

I've been thinking about doing stuff like that if it will make it more fun and doesn't increase the scope considerably.

Thanks for the comment.
