Maze Received

Submission  for : Area Of Effect Game Jam

Theme : "Message Received"

Maze received is an asymmetric multiplayer puzzle game, where one of the players is trapped in a maze trying to reach the end point and the other player can see the maze from a control room and needs to guide him out.

The players communicate through in-game messages that are limited in characters and  have a timeout between messages, so the catch is to communicate instructions as efficiently as possible with no downtime to lead the maze player to the endpoint as fast as possible.

This was a one man project, everything in the game including the background music and all the scripts was made by me, I had a lot of hiccups since this is my first time dealing with networking in a game and timeline was short but it was a very enjoyable experience nonetheless, I hope you enjoy it.

Additions I'll do after the game jam is over:  

• Add options for message limit and timeout
• Hazards in maze.
• Imposter mode, There's an extra control room player who sends malicious messages to the maze player and try to lead him to hazards instead of the endpoint.
