A Maze-ing Runner

A Maze-ing runner is a singleplayer topdown speedrunning game. At it's core you traverse a set of mazes as fast as possible. However... How do you reach the next stage (maze)? Follow the three pillars mentioned in the Guidebook of a-maze-ing trails: Explore, Optimize, Run!

Where is the exit? Who cares? It is the journey that matters, not the destination. Explore all nooks and crannies of each maze to prepare for the next phase.

So you found the exit, great! But did you do that in the best way? Become one with the maze to reach a maze-ing efficiency!

Run, orcy, run! Get there as fast as you can with your skill! Then show off to your competitors how you beat their time on a stage and revel in their... wait what? They beat your time again? What the f... orc? Got... To... Beat... Them!Planned Release Date:
To be Announced (We are a team of two Software engineering teachers who spend our free time at the grace of our loving families). By posting updates and communicating with you on our discord server, we hope to be transparent and give you a sense of the current development.Long-term ideas: (not promises)
Our vision for this game is to stimulate speed running while also integrating the fun of exploration and progression that we all expect from modern games. We are thinking of vanity items, a skill/perk progression system and mechanics that reward exploration and replay-ability of stages (inspired by the metroidvania genre). A question we often see in communities of singleplayer games we love is if they will have multiplayer. To be ahead of the curve, we are considering this, but it is not our main priority. We aim to focus first on a satisfying and rewarding core gameplay loop.Join our discord:
