SlideMaze

This is MazeSlide, a little puzzle roguelike I made in exactly 7 days. It's based on the boardgame Labyrinth. 

As the title suggests, as you explore the maze you'll be able to slide rows and columns of tiles to change its layout and create new paths. Collect the key and get to the door to move to the next floor!

Blocking your way will be various enemies and traps, so be careful! Collect potions and shields to better face these obstacles, and grab all the coins you can! In between floors, you'll be able to improve your character with different weapons and stats upgrades. 

CONTROLS:

• WASD: move your character
• Press the on-screen arrow buttons to slide tiles in that direction
• That's it! 

If you find yourself stuck, open the pause menu and reload the level. It's not ideal, I know, but in what little time I had I couldn't figure out a way to completely negate all chances of softlocks and unbeatable levels. Sorry in advance for the inconvenience! 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

Notes: as this game was made in 1 week, it's obviously not going to be very rich in depth or content, and it will likely have bugs that I overlooked. I did my best to balance the difficulty but I'm sure it can be improved. Feedback is very welcome but be aware that at present, I have no plans to expand the game into a bigger project. This was meant to be a self-imposed game Jam-like thing, to try out a concept I had in my mind and to get out of my slump and nothing more. 

That said, I'd be very happy to hear your thoughts on the game!
